FEICA webinar 'adhesives and sealants, enablers of the EU Green Deal'
These are the proceedings of the FEICA webinar which took place on 14 October 2020.
The European Adhesive and Sealant Industry Facts & Figures 2020
The global market for adhesives and sealants reached a value of 50 billion euros in 2020, with Europe holding a share of almost 35%. Our specialty chemical sector, which represents about 2% of the total European chemical industry's turnover, contributes more than 17 billion euros to the EU economy and employs more than 45,000 people.
Since 2012, China, Europe and North America have harmonised the Adhesives and Sealants Classification Manual. Now for the first time, the three major adhesives and sealants markets – China, Europe and North America – share a common language when it comes to defining the market segments and product categories for adhesives and sealants.
The European Adhesives and Sealants Market Report, issued by FEICA, and the North America and Asia Adhesives and Sealants Market Report, issued by the Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC), both follow the harmonised ASC-CATIA-FEICA Adhesives and Sealants Classification Manual, facilitating companies to compare data between Europe, NAFTA and the Asia-Pacific region.

Industry4Europe, a coalition of 154 industry Associations including FEICA, published a Press Release following the much anticipated New Industrial Strategy for Europe.
The European Commission recognises industry to be 'central to Europe’s future progress and prosperity' and announced a comprehensive set of measures aimed at “maintaining European industry’s global competitiveness and a level playing field, at home and globally, making Europe climate-neutral by 2050 and shaping Europe’s digital future”.
Launched three years ago, the Industry4Europe coalition has consistently called on the European Institutions to develop an ambitious EU industrial strategy that helps Europe remain a hub for a leading, smart, innovative and sustainable industry, and that provides quality jobs and benefits all Europeans and future generations. Last November, the Coalition published the Joint Paper 'A long-term strategy for Europe’s industrial future: from words to action’.
The sector Associations of the Coalition will now carefully review and assess all individual measures proposed by the European Commission. In the Press Release, Industry4Europe thanks the Commission for its hard work and for identifying the main pillars of the Industrial Strategy 'that echo those recommended by the Coalition'.
A long-term strategy for Europe’s industrial future: from words to action
In November 2019, FEICA co-signed the Industry4Europe Joint Paper calling for an ambitious EU industrial strategy.
Industry4Europe is a coalition of 149 sector associations and represents the diversity of the EU’s industrial base. The European Commission will publish its Industrial Strategy in a fortnight and we are counting on the fact that the Joint Paper will be taken into consideration.
We will keep you updated on any new developments via the usual channels.
This is the Joint Paper published by Industry4Europe, a coalition of 149 sector associations (including FEICA), representing the diversity of the EU’s industrial base. The paper, titled ‘A long-term strategy for Europe’s industrial future: from words to action’, presents concrete industrial policy proposals in seven priority fields; business-friendly policy environment, sustainability at business core, upgraded skills and training, enhanced research and innovation, investment and improved access to finance, reinforcement of the European Single Market and strengthened trade and international market access.
