Global Packaging Adhesives Market Definition

Adhesive, also known as glue, is any non-metallic substance that is applied to one or both surfaces of two separate items to bind them together and prevent them from being separated. Adhesives can be naturally found or synthesized. Adhesives are typically classified according to their method of adhesion. These are then classified as reactive or non-reactive adhesives, depending on whether the adhesive chemically reacts to harden.

Polymeric materials, including natural and synthetic polymeric materials such as polyurethane, polychloroprene, cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, and polyvinyl pyrrolidone, are the primary components of adhesive raw materials. Solvent-based, water-based, and hot-melt adhesives are all choices available. Water-based adhesives such as polyurethanes and polychloroprene are used, whereas solvent-based adhesives are used in other polymeric materials.

Adhesives are extremely important in packaging applications. More than 70% of all adhesives used globally are used in the packaging industry. These adhesives are used in a variety of packaging applications, including case and carton closures, flexible packaging, folding cartons and envelopes, and corrugated converting.

Global Packaging Adhesives Market Overview

The global Packaging Adhesives Market is being driven primarily by rising demand for packaged beverages and food products as a result of population growth, rising disposable income, and changing eating habits. Furthermore, the use of packaging adhesive is expanding in the pharmaceutical sector due to the benefits it provides, such as protecting medicine from contaminants, microorganisms, and bacteria and maintaining the sterility of pharmaceutical products, which is significantly increasing the global Packaging Adhesives Market size.

Moreover, the packaging adhesives industry is being driven by rising consumer awareness of food safety and expanding infrastructure in developing markets. However, the phasing out of solvent-borne adhesives due to VOC emissions is impeding the growth of the market under consideration. In addition, dealing with the waste generated by packaging material is difficult.

As the demand for online shopping grows in emerging markets, labels and plastic bags are being used for packaging, which will eventually drive the Packaging Adhesives Market. Furthermore, the development of innovative processing methods for extending the shelf life of food products presents a growth opportunity for the global Packaging Adhesives Market.
