Market Overview
The market for UV-curable adhesives is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.16% during the forecast period of 2019 – 2024. Major factors driving the market studied is the growing demand for flexible packaging. On the flip side, relatively high machinery cost compared to other adhesives is expected to hinder the growth of the studied market.
- The acrylic segment dominated the market in 2018 and is expected to grow during the forecast period owing to the increasing applications in the end-user industries, such as automotive, consumer goods, defense & aerospace, furniture, etc.
- Emerging R&D on adhesives to develop eco-friendly products, and innovations aimed at lowering the cost of end products are likely to provide opportunities for the studied market during the forecast period.
- Asia-Pacific dominated the market across the globe with the largest consumption from countries such as China, Japan, and India.
Key Market Trends
Packaging Segment to Witness Strong Growth
- UV-curable adhesives find their applications in the packaging sector owing to their ability to create quick bonds between different materials such as plastic, rubber, metal, glass, and ceramic materials.
- Properties, such as superior strength & flexibility, ability to withstand the extreme environment, and excellent moisture resistance makes UV-curable adhesives suitable for packaging application.
- The demand for UV-curable adhesives from the plastic packaging industry is consistently increasing in Europe and North America regions, with the growing awareness about the benefits of using UV-curable adhesives. These adhesives are known to eliminate heat and Radio Frequency (RF) sealing of clamshell packages.
- The usage of UV-curable adhesives as laminating films, papers, and foils is increasing in product packaging applications where weather resistance is required.
- With the growing trend of e-commerce, e-retail, and online food orders & delivery services, the demand for packaging materials, especially flexible packaging has been increasing, which is likely to drive the demand for UV-curable adhesives during the forecast period.
- Asia-Pacific and North America dominate the demand for UV-curable adhesives for packaging applications.
Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market
