The beauty of the adhesives and sealants industry is the continual evolution of opportunities from new applications. Reflecting, more importantly capturing the essence of this ever evolving landscape of products and services in the Adhesives and Sealants space has been the credo of India International Adhesives and Sealants Expo, more popularly referred to as IIASE. Having strengthened its standing as the premier exhibition and technical forum on the adhesive and sealant industry, the expo has not only been a harbinger of change but a conduit that facilitates the sharing and adoption of international best practices and product developments.

While on one side, the demand growth supported by the emergence of new market applications resulting from changing substrates and evolving assembly processes, the supply side has an equally exciting script to narrate. Industry consolidation and M&A activities notwithstanding, new small- and medium-sized companies are beginning to serve targeted market niches and offer specialized solutions powered by state-of-the-art technology.
