Global Emulsion Adhesives Market Definition

Emulsion adhesive refers to a water-based adhesive made by homogeneously emulsifying vinyl acetate, EVA, or acrylic synthetic resin polymers in water. Emulsion adhesives are formulated with several polymers such as vinyl acetate polymers and copolymers, ethylene vinyl acetate, acrylic, natural rubber latex, and synthetic elastomers such as styrene-butadiene rubber or polyurethane. The emulsion adhesives are classified based on bonding Wet bonding adhesives and Dry bonding adhesives.

The emulsion adhesives feature excellent adhesive properties than other aqueous adhesives and are used for various applications such as furniture, woodworking, decorated plywood, paper working, packaging, decorated plywood, composite members, and panels. Emulsion-based PSAs are widely used for packaging labels, opaque labels, adhesive films, graphic films, and tapes, owing to their holding power and shear resistivity. These are non-flammable, non-toxic in nature, and hence are relatively safer to use.

Emulsion adhesives have more excellent initial adhesive properties than other aqueous adhesives. The absence of flammable solvents and more environment-friendly properties of emulsion adhesive determine the better safety measure for factory operations like ventilation, flameproof lighting, and others. Emulsion adhesives are widely utilized in a variety of applications, including the production of non-woven products, box and folded carton packaging, paper bag manufacture, and others.

Global Emulsion Adhesives Market Overview

The major factors driving the Emulsion Adhesives Market growth are the increasing demand for these adhesives in developing countries and the growing demand for eco-friendly adhesives. Due to a variety of factors, such as the transition from solvent-based adhesives to water-based adhesives, which enables manufacturers to reduce the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC), these adhesives are becoming more and more popular on the market. Along with that, the demand for these adhesives is rising in developing countries as they allow an extensive range of work from coating with a brush to machine coating, also, they are relatively inexpensive, resulting in increasing demand from Asian countries.

Moreover, the global packaging industry is witnessing rapid growth, owing to the constantly growing demand from the food packaging sector. The demand for packaged and canned goods is rising together with the demand for pressure-sensitive adhesives, primarily acrylic, as a result of changing consumer lifestyles (with a focus on work-life balance). Furthermore, design improvements and innovation, combined with a shifting focus toward the usage of recyclable materials for packaging, are expected to offer numerous opportunities for the growth of the market, thus leading to many new products.

Over the duration of the projected period, all of the aforementioned reasons are likely to increase market demand. However, the availability of substitutes in the market including hot melt adhesives, and performance issues in high-strength applications is the major challenge identified in the Emulsion Adhesives Market, which can potentially hinder the market growth in the coming years. The availability of hot melt and other solvent-less adhesives is giving tough competition to these adhesives, which is posing a challenge in the market.
