Adhesives And Sealants Market Segmental Analysis

By Adhesive Technology Analysis

  • Water-based adhesives dominated the market, largely attributable to their properties such as eco-friendly as they utilize water as the main carrier instead of organic solvents, which can be damaging to the environment and human health. They are also safe and non-toxic, making them easier and safer to work with. Additionally, the properties of water-based adhesives can be customized to meet specific requirements, such as viscosity, drying time, and bond strength. By incorporating additives, these adhesives can also be enhanced for better performance in terms of heat resistance, flexibility, and adhesion to different substrates.
  • The solvent-based adhesives segment is projected to grow at a CAGR during the projected period, mainly driven by its application in various industries such as packaging, tapes, automotive, food packaging, graphics, and medical fields due to their exceptional resistance to environmental conditions and compatibility with different surfaces. These adhesives are suitable for porous and non-porous materials, ensuring strong adhesion once the solvent evaporates, leaving behind only the adhesive.

By Adhesives Applications Analysis

  • The paper and packaging segment dominated the market owing to emerging urbanization, which led to changes in consumer habits, resulting in an increased need for packaged products. Furthermore, the rise of e-commerce is playing a significant role in driving this expansion. As incomes are projected to increase, consumer spending on packaged items is forecasted to rise further.
  • The building and construction segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR owing to its role in connecting and uniting different components and materials to the primary structure and to each other. Its function is to enhance the performance of commercial and residential buildings by effectively sealing out water, humidity, UV rays, and other elements.
