Pressure Sensitive Adhesives Market Statistics- 2030
The global pressure sensitive adhesives market forecast was valued at $9.8 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $17.6 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2021 to 2030.
Pressure sensitive adhesives, also referred as self-stick adhesives, are materials that adhere two similar or dissimilar surfaces together through surface contact, when pressure is applied. These adhesives do not need activation by heat, solvent, or water to apply holding force on various materials. They are either removable or permanent and have the ability to match wide variety of substrates.
Acrylic based pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) are thermoplastic in nature and can be formulated with acrylic monomers and polymers with low glass transition temperature. These pressure sensitive adhesives are versatile, low-cost, and offer enhanced performance characteristics making them suitable for label applications. Acrylic PSA are polar in nature and tend to stick well to polar materials or substrates such as metals, glass, polyesters, polycarbonates, and neoprene. These are the major pressure sensitive adhesives market growth factors. Flexible packaging is the most economical method utilized for packaging, distributing, and preserving food, pharmaceuticals, beverages, and other products, which need extended shelf life. The flexible packaging industry has witnessed significant growth over the past decade, due to rise in demand from end users. Thus, pressure-sensitive adhesives are being utilized as a common tool by packaging engineers, as they assist in keeping the packaging in place until it reaches its required location. All these factors collectively boost the demand for pressure sensitive adhesives, thereby augmenting the market growth, globally.
However, fluctuation in cost of raw materials is anticipated to restrain the pressure sensitive adhesives market growth. The growth of pressure-sensitive adhesives market is restricted, owing to the escalation in price of raw materials required for their production. Furthermore, deficit in the supply of a key raw material for the production of water-based and other adhesives acts as a major challenge in the adhesives industry. The shortage of VAM in the market is attributed to the shutdown of few production plants in Europe, the U.S., and Asia-Pacific, due to plant failure, accidents, or for regular maintenance scheduled work.
