The UK adhesives and sealants market is currently estimated to be worth just over £700 million in 2008 at manufacturers selling prices (MSP). With healthy demand emanating from all key sectors in 2006 and 2007 and new product development sustaining average unit prices, the market experienced reasonable growth over this two year period. It looks unlikely that this growth will be sustained over 2008 and 2009, with the domestic economy facing recession and the possibility that the industrial side will also be affected by the down turn.
