Abstract
The paper provides an analytical review of the main trends in the global market of structural adhesives, as well as recent scientific research and developments in this field. It shows that adhesive bonding technologies are becoming increasingly in demand and are being used in various industries—aircraft manufacturing, automotive, packaging, and construction. It is demonstrated that the annual growth of the global market of structural adhesives and sealants is driven by their high strength properties combined with factors such as product weight reduction, shorter production cycle times, environmental friendliness, and production sustainability. Key trends include the development of engineering adhesives used in additive manufacturing, innovations aimed at reducing toxicity and developing eco-friendly bio-based adhesives, as well as the application of artificial intelligence systems in theoretical and applied research. Based on the findings, the market of structural adhesives can be objectively regarded as one of the dynamically developing sectors of the global market.
