For instance, in May 2022, H.B. Fuller Company announced the launch of its metallocene range of solutions for various bookbinding applications. This hot melt adhesive offers many advantages for the production process and even for end-use applications including robust temperature strength, lower coat weight, and high adhesion strength. It further enables the easy recyclability of books and reduces the consumption of adhesives.
However, high advances in technology in the last few years and the growing prevalence of remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic along with the easy and cheap availability of internet facilities across the globe are likely to be major restraining factors for the market growth. Moreover, the increasing popularity of various online learning platforms and eBooks providers like Amazon Kindle is also impacting the demand for physical books, and in turn, hampering the global market demand and growth.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the growth of the bookbinding adhesives market. The rapid emergence of the deadly coronavirus has forced government authorities of various countries to impose lockdowns and many other stringent regulations. It has resulted in a temporary shutdown of production facilities and highly impacted the global supply chain, due to which, many global companies have seen a slight decline in their sales and revenue and are likely to recover over the projected period.
