Adhesives Global Market Briefing provides strategists, marketers and senior management with the critical information they need to assess the global Adhesives Services sector.

Adhesives are substances applied to one surface or both surfaces of two separate items that binds them together and resists their separation. The term ‘adhesives’ is used interchangeably with glue, cement, mucilage, or paste.

The adhesives industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing adhesives, glues and caulking compounds.

The segments in the adhesives market were water-based, solvent-based, hot-melt-based and reactive & others.

Emergence of New Adhesive Types – Adhesives companies are developing new adhesives to cater to the needs of various industries. The various types of adhesives being developed are pressure-sensitive adhesives, pre-cut layered adhesive films and stick-to-skin adhesives. Pressure-sensitive adhesives are used in HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) duct work, automotive assembly and sound/vibration damping films. Pre-cut layered adhesive films that address vibration and noise concerns save time in assembly. Stick-to-skin adhesives are used in monitoring and drug delivery devices.

Replacing Mechanical Fasteners – Adhesives are being developed to increase efficiencies of engineers and to increase assembly and processing speed. Since mechanical fasteners do not allow expansion or contraction of joined materials during temperature variations, adhesives are being used to accommodate movements caused by thermal expansion of substrates even after they are fully cured. Adhesives are being used to join composites instead of fasteners because drilling holes can damage composites which leads to loss of time and money.
