根據(jù)Smithers Apex 的報(bào)告，汽車制造未來(lái)將逐步轉(zhuǎn)向輕量化設(shè)計(jì)，以滿足市場(chǎng)對(duì)CUVs(跨界休旅車)和SUVs(動(dòng)型多用途汽車)車輛需求的不斷增長(zhǎng)，汽車制造使用的材料也更加廣泛。2017-2022未來(lái)五年內(nèi)，汽車粘合劑市場(chǎng)預(yù)計(jì)迎來(lái)高速增長(zhǎng)，2022年市值將達(dá)70億美元。

　　2017年的汽車粘合劑市場(chǎng)市值在43.3億美元，2017-2022年間復(fù)合年增長(zhǎng)率(CAGR)在10.1%左右。從產(chǎn)值來(lái)看，汽車粘合劑市場(chǎng)將由2017年的637噸增加到2022年的908噸，CAGR約為7.4%。

　　在“展望2022汽車粘合劑市場(chǎng)的未來(lái)發(fā)展”報(bào)告中提供了汽車粘合劑市場(chǎng)未來(lái)走向分析，包含市場(chǎng)主流趨勢(shì)分析，如輕量化，輕量化競(jìng)爭(zhēng)及機(jī)械緊固件(螺絲、鉚釘、釬焊、焊接)的矛盾和平衡，法規(guī)規(guī)范以及行業(yè)重要標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

　　目前全球汽車市場(chǎng)最主要的一個(gè)發(fā)展趨勢(shì)是SUVs和CUVs兩類車型需求的持續(xù)攀升。該趨勢(shì)源起美國(guó)，現(xiàn)已蔓延至包括發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家和新興經(jīng)濟(jì)體在內(nèi)全球眾多國(guó)家。這一現(xiàn)象背后的驅(qū)動(dòng)性因素則指向，可供選擇的更多車型、油價(jià)下跌、車輛性能提升、創(chuàng)新技術(shù)的推廣應(yīng)用。

　　而輕量化仍然是汽車及其他相關(guān)領(lǐng)域市場(chǎng)發(fā)展的一個(gè)主要驅(qū)動(dòng)性力量，以此回應(yīng)市場(chǎng)基于二氧化碳排放管控的愈加嚴(yán)苛的法規(guī)要求。而車輛減重之于提升燃油效率進(jìn)而減少二氧化碳排放則是市場(chǎng)廣受認(rèn)可的一種合理途徑，比如，美國(guó)能源部認(rèn)為車輛每減重10%，燃油效率可提升8%。

　　The automotive adhesives market is set to grow rapidly over the coming five years as manufacturers move to lightweight vehicle designs, meet increased demand for CUVs and SUVs, and use a wide range of different materials, according to a new Smithers Apex report that forecasts a $7 billion market by 2022.

　　The market for adhesives in automotive applications is currently estimated to be worth $4.33 billion in 2017, and is forecast to reach $7 billion by 2022, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. By volume, the automotive adhesives market will increase from 637 tonnes in 2017 to 908 tonnes by 2022, at a CAGR of 7.4%.

　　The Future of Automotive Adhesives to 2022 gives insights into how the markets will develop, and includes leading trends like lightweighting, competitive pressures versus mechanical fasteners (screws, rivets, brazing, soldering and welding), regulatory pressures and key standards.

　　One of the most significant trends taking place in the global car market is the growing demand for sports utility vehicles (SUVs) and crossover utility vehicles (CUVs). Although this trend originated in the United States, it has now spread to many other markets across the world, including both developed and emerging economies. Much of this growth is being driven by the greater choice of vehicles available, as well as lower fuel prices, improvements in performance and the introduction of more technological innovations.

　　Lightweighting remains an important driver of strategy, in both the automotive industry and further afield. Much of this is in response to more stringent regulations concerning carbon dioxide emissions. Reducing vehicle weight is widely recognized as a suitable way of improving fuel efficiency and therefore lowering emissions – for example, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that a 10% reduction in vehicle weight can improve fuel economy by 8%.

　　For modern cars, manufacturers use a range of materials besides steel sheets, including aluminum, thermoplastics and carbon fiber. This mix of materials is also held together by adhesive. Major usage areas include adhesives and sealants for lighting, coatings and adhesives for weatherstrip sealing, composite matrix resin for carbon and glass fiber composites, structural and elastic bonding solutions for metal and plastic components, sustainable metal pretreatments for corrosion protection of metal parts, and primers and adhesives for glass bonding.
