growth rate (CAGR) of % (by revenue) and % (by unit shipment) between 2014 and 2018.
- The shale gas boom has increased the cost competitiveness of chemical companies that need natural-gas-based raw materials. In-shoring of automotive OEMs into the United States and the competitiveness of Mexico over China as a manufacturing base are bound to drive North American manufacturing over the next few years.
- Demand for high-performance DGX adhesives from the automotive OEM sector is driven by regulatory trends toward vehicle driver and occupant safety and by the number of vehicles produced by OEMs in North America.
- Compliance with crashworthiness FMVSS standards of the vehicle by model and materialhandling factors at the OEM assembly levels are technologically intensive and differentiate leading suppliers from the others.
