China, India, Thailand and Indonesia are reportedly the fastest growing regions of global structural adhesives market. This is mainly due to government tax incentives, subsidies provided, and easy availability of raw material and labor. North America is expected to witness a steady growth due to slow growth of industries post-recession, according to the report. Moreover, an increase in consumer spending, particularly in U.S., will drive the demand for structural adhesives.
