Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall market size from the estimation process explained above, the total market has been split into several segments and sub-segments. Data triangulation and market breakdown procedures have been used wherever applicable to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all the segments and sub-segments. The data has been triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand & supply sides. In addition, the market has been validated using both the top-down and bottom-up approaches. It has then been verified through primary interviews. Hence, for each data segment, there are three sources — the top-down approach, the bottom-up approach, and expert interviews. Only when the values from the three sources matched the data have been assumed to be correct.
Market Definition.
According to FEICA, the Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry, structural adhesives are adhesives which are used to bond load-bearing joints or substrates. They are capable of handling high tensile, shear, cleavage, and peel strength between the substrates and provide excellent mechanical performance. They enable weight reduction and improve the aesthetic appeal of end products without any visible bolts, rivets, and welds. These adhesives offer excellent strength, load-bearing capability, durability, and resistance against impact, heat, fatigue, and solvents. All structural adhesives provide at least 1,000 psi or 7 Mpa of overlap shear strength to the substrates. Structural adhesives come in many forms, including low viscosity liquids and non-sag pastes, one- and two-component formulations, and short and long work lives, among others.
