June 2026, Novi, Michigan, USA/Global: Coherent Market Insights (CMI), a globally recognized market intelligence and consulting firm, has been appointed the Official Knowledge Partner at the Adhesives & Bonding Expo USA 2026 — North America's largest industrial adhesives and foam supply chain event. Scheduled for June 23–25, 2026, at the Vibe Credit Union Showplace, Novi, Michigan, and co-located with Foam Expo North America, the expo brings together 5,300+ expected attendees, 400+ exhibitors, and 60+ speakers across automotive, aerospace, construction, electronics, medical, and packaging sectors.
CMI's CEO and Founder, Mr. Raj Shah, will take to the stage on two consecutive days, delivering research-led sessions drawn directly from CMI's flagship 2026 market intelligence reports — making this the firm's most prominent knowledge contribution to North America's industrial materials sector to date.
A Market at an Inflection Point
The timing of this partnership is anything but coincidental. The global adhesives and sealants market is experiencing a period of significant transformation, driven by converging forces across its most critical end-use sectors. Automotive manufacturers are accelerating lightweighting programmes, construction activity across North America continues to expand at pace, and the surge in EV production is creating entirely new performance requirements for thermally conductive and flame-retardant bonding solutions. Simultaneously, the industry faces mounting headwinds: raw material volatility, the ripple effects of 2025 U.S. tariff shifts on global supply chains, tightening VOC regulations, and mounting pressure to transition toward bio-based and water-borne chemistries. Together, these forces are compelling manufacturers, formulators, and procurement leaders to make faster, higher-stakes decisions than at any previous point in the sector's history. In this environment, proprietary market intelligence is not a luxury but it is a prerequisite for competitive survival.
This is the context in which Raj Shah steps onto the Adhesives & Bonding Expo stage.
"The adhesives and foam markets are at a critical inflection point shaped by sustainability pressures, raw material volatility, and fast-evolving end-user demands," said Mr. Raj Shah, CEO, Coherent Market Insights. "Our sessions will give industry stakeholders the intelligence they need to lead with confidence — not just describing the market, but defining where it is headed."
CMI's Speaking Sessions: What to Expect
Mr. Shah will address the expo's conference programme across two focused sessions:
Session 1: Global Technical Foams Market Outlook 2026–2033: Demand Mapping, Material Innovation & Application Growth
