Description

This study assesses the global coating, adhesive, and sealant (CAS) additives market, analyzing volume shipments and revenue generated from additives used in these formulations from 2022 to 2032.

Additive demand is primarily driven by growth in coatings, adhesives, and sealants across diverse substrates. While formulators seek superior functional performance, they aim to reduce both the number of additives and overall treat rates, accelerating the shift toward multi-functional chemistries. Some additives are used across most CAS formulations, whereas others serve specific applications and performance requirements.

For coatings, the market is segmented by additive type—rheology modifiers; wetting, dispersing, and levelling agents; foam control agents; biocides; wax additives; and others—and by application, including architectural, transportation, wood and furniture, industrial, and marine and protective coatings, across water-borne, solvent-borne, and other technologies.

For adhesives and sealants, the study evaluates additives used in water-borne, solvent-borne, hot-melt, and other systems. It segments the market by additive type—rheology modifiers, foam control agents, wetting and dispersing agents, wax additives, and others—and by application, including automotive; building and construction; industrial uses (packaging, electrical and electronics, industrial machinery, non-woven, and consumer goods); wood (furniture, DIY, and shipbuilding); and other sectors such as aerospace, energy, and rail.

The study also examines regional trends across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, South Asia, and Asia-Pacific, analyzing additive types and chemistries across the coatings, adhesives, and sealants markets.
