Increasing Electric Vehicle Deployment Fueling Adhesive and Sealant Usage in German Automotive Industry

The mushrooming usage of adhesives and sealants in the German automotive industry is the major factor responsible for their booming sales in the country. These adhesives and sealants are being increasingly used in the manufacturing of several automotive parts and components in the country, primarily because of their higher resistance to moisture and strong bonding capability. In addition, they also offer higher flexibility, good impact resistance, and durability than the conventionally used adhesives and sealants.

Moreover, epoxy adhesives and sealants are being extensively used in the manufacturing of headlights and signal lights and also in the bonding of automobile bumpers. As Germany is one of the largest exporters and manufacturers of automobiles, the sales of adhesives and sealants are shooting up in the country. Besides, the surging deployment of electric vehicles, on account of the implementation of various vehicle electrification policies by the government and the increasing environmental concerns, is also creating lucrative growth opportunities for adhesive and sealant producers in the country. 

For instance, the German government provided various tax and financial incentives to automobile manufacturers to reduce the price of electric vehicles, which helped it achieve its objective of electrifying 1 million cars in the country by 2020. This subsequently caused the expansion of the German automotive adhesives and sealants market. Furthermore, with the soaring sales of commercial vehicles and passenger cars in the country, the revenue of the market will rise from $891.8 million in 2017 to $1,156.8 million by 2023.

In Germany, the enactment of regulatory policies aimed at replacing the traditional adhesives and sealants with environment-friendly solutions that have lower quantity of polluting materials such as volatile organic compounds and exhibit excellent adhesion characteristics, is becoming a major trend. Due to these policies, the usage of eco-friendly water-based acrylic adhesives in place of solvent-based adhesives is soaring in the country. These adhesives are being increasingly used in the production of instrument panel dashboards and trim parts of automobiles in the country.

Hence, it can be said without any hesitation that the use of adhesives and sealants in the German automotive industry will shoot up in the coming years, primarily because of their ability to reduce the weight of vehicles and impart higher durability and impact resistance to automobiles.

Why Is Geriatric Population Boom a Key Surgical Simulation Market Driver?

The surgical simulation market is expanding on account of the increasing surgery volume, booming geriatric population, rising popularity of minimally invasive surgeries, and rapid technological advancements. Thus, the revenue generated from the sale of such solutions, which was $337.4 million in 2019, is predicted to display a healthy 16.4% CAGR between 2020 and 2030 (forecast period). Such simulators create virtual representations of real-life medical situations, so that students, as well as experienced doctors, can practice their skills.

The divisions on the basis of end user are hospitals, academic & research institutes, military organizations, surgical clinics, and others, which include nursing homes and fertility centers. In 2019, the highest market revenue was generated by the academic & research institutes division, as students are now demanding a first-hand training experience, before they operate on real patients. Moreover, even professionals are using simulators to improve their skills, as new medical procedures are being innovated. Even during the forecast period, this division is expected to witness the fastest advance in the industry.

Another key driver for the surgical simulation market is the booming geriatric population. The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) says that by 2050, the population of people in the 65-and-above age group will rise to 1.5 billion, from 703 million in 2019. The elderly suffer from more-serious diseases more often, which creates a need for long-term medical care. Therefore, the hospitalization rate, surgery volume, and chances of surgical complications in the elderly are higher, thus leading to the rapid adoption of surgical simulators.

Asia-Pacific (APAC) is projected to advance the most rapidly in the surgical simulation market during the forecast period. The geriatric population is increasing in the region, with the UN predicting the number of elderly people in India and China to reach 324 million and 437 million, respectively, by 2050. Moreover, medical procedures in the regional developing countries are cheaper than in developed countries, which is why hordes of people from the latter come to the former for treatment, thereby resulting in the increasing adoption of surgical simulation solutions for training.

Hence, as the volume of surgeries and number of older people increase around the world, so will the demand for surgical simulators for first-hand training.

Radiofrequency Ablation Devices Providing Enhanced Pain Relief

 An increasing number of patients are opting for minimally invasive procedures, as they result in less scarring and pain and decrease the chances of infections related to open surgeries. For example, back pain can be treated by radiofrequency (RF) ablation procedures, which are minimally invasive, thus pose a lower risk of any complication after and during the treatment process. RF ablation devices destroy the nerve fibers in the spine to stop the pain signals from reaching the brain. Moreover, the increasing awareness and low cost of RF ablation treatment for pain relief will fuel the demand for these devices.

The application of these devices is surging among elderly patients, as they are more susceptible to health disorders and abnormalities. Apart from long-lasting pain, old people require minimally invasive treatments for several chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cancer. According to the 2019 UN World Population Ageing report, the global population of people in the age group of 65 and above will be 1.5 billion in 2050. Owing to this reason, the revenue of the radiofrequency ablation devices market will increase from $3,173.5 million in 2019 to $11,080.3 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 12.6% during 2020–2030.

Due to the growing shift toward minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) from open surgeries, hospitals are deploying RF ablation products in large numbers, as they are the first point of contact for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Catheter systems are the most widely used RF ablation equipment in these healthcare settings to treat chronic diseases. The system includes electrodes and probes that are thrust into the affected body parts for ablation procedures. In addition to this, hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) also use generators and accessories for ablating or destroying the dysfunctional tissue inside the body.

Moreover, North America is expected to adopt the highest number of RF ablation devices in the future, as it has a large end-user base due to the rising cases of cancer and heart diseases. Moreover, the surging healthcare expenditure, favorable reimbursement ecosystem, and easy availability of RF ablation procedures will augment the use of these products in the region. To cater to this swelling demand, companies including Abbott Laboratories, Stryker Corporation, Baylis Medical Company Inc., RF Medical Co. Ltd., Boston Scientific Corporation, Johnson & Johnson, and AngioDynamics Inc. are launching new products and entering into mergers and acquisitions.

Thus, the shift toward MISs and high demand for pain relief procedures will boost the adoption of RF ablation devices in healthcare settings.
