Adhesive Market Dynamics
Growing need from the construction sector
The construction industry is witnessing rapid technological & architectural innovation. Increasing applications in flexible architectural design and renovations of old buildings drive the adhesive market globally. Additionally, rising demand for adhesives in the manufacturing of bio-based plastic materials in the construction industry is also anticipated to foster demand over the forecast period. As builders look for desirable adhesive solutions for their remodeling and construction projects, several new industry product trends are emerging. Adhesives are critical tools for building projects and on the job site. Adhesives continue to see steady growth in various building and construction applications, including subfloor installation. A more efficient subfloor installation project has significantly higher yields, faster application and superior bond strength. The government investment in construction and infrastructure activities in emerging economies will also influence the market's growth. For instance, construction spending in the U.S during July 2021 was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of US$ 1,568.8 billion. The companies are launching new products to cater to the need of the booming construction industry. For instance, in 2021, Al Muqarram Group has made the latest addition to its product lineup - HVAC Contact adhesive - at Dubai's Big 5 construction expo. The new HVAC contact adhesive, specifically designed for phenolic and PIR ducts. In 2020, Toyochem Co., Ltd. has developed a new series of biodegradable pressure-sensitive adhesives. The newly developed polyurethane PSAs are suitable for construction and other industries where biodegradable materials are preferred.
Adhesive Market Segmentation Analysis
Water-Based Adhesive
The global water-based adhesive technology in adhesive market was valued at US$ XX million in 2020 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period to reach US$ XX million by 2028. Water-based adhesive is an environmentally friendly adhesive formulation technology. The adhesive forms a bond between two substrates after the formulation evaporates or is absorbed into the substrate, leaving the adhesive behind. The market share of water-based adhesives is growing significantly since the development has shifted towards more and more sustainable solutions that support health and safety and reduce environmental impact. Waterborne adhesives are a great alternative for solvent-based systems, as they do not contain VOC, are lighter in weight and necessitates less product for forming durable bonds. Water-based adhesives can be used on various substrates, including plastics, metallic films, paper, cardboard and natural and synthetic textiles. The adhesives are cost-effective to produce and easy to use. In most cases, it is easier to sustain a uniform consistency with a wet bond adhesive. The companies are launching various new products based on water-based adhesive technology. For instance, in 2021, H.B. Fuller has launched a new Swift tak 5730 water-based adhesives for the paper straw industry. The high-performance adhesives will help create liquid-resistant and consumer-safe paper straws even on fast-moving machines. According to the company, manufacturers are focusing on adopting high-performance adhesive, as global regulatory aims to ban single-use plastics. The European Union has also banned throwaway plastics such as cutlery, plates and straws in mid-2021. In 2020, Bostik has launched a new, innovative water-based adhesive, Aquagrip 3720, for automotive interior assembly applications. The product is perfect for bonding lower surface energy, rigid substrates to the closed-cell foam and foam-backed materials.
