The Global Pressure Sensitive Adhesives Market Size is valued at 13.80 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach 21.55 billion by the year 2031 at a 5.81% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Pressure Sensitive Adhesives, often known as self-stick adhesives, bind two similar or dissimilar surfaces together when pressure is applied. These adhesives do not require heat, solvent, or water activation to deliver holding force to a variety of materials. They can match a wide range of substrates and are either removable or permanent. Due to their reassurance of use and low cost, pressure-sensitive adhesives are expected to stimulate the demand for the miniaturization of electronic devices such as smartphones, PCs, and tablets. As a result of rising disposable income, the popularity and demand for such technological devices are propelling pressure adhesives market expansion.
However, the COVID-19 epidemic had a negative impact on the pressure-sensitive adhesives business. Automotive, electronics, building and construction, consumer goods, and other industries are major users of pressure-sensitive adhesives. The demand for PSAs from the automotive sector has decreased due to the detrimental impact on the industry. Disruption in value chain analysis, for example, has impacted large-scale businesses in the automobile sector.
The pressure-sensitive adhesives market is segmented on the basis of technology, product, application, and sector. Based on technology, the market is categorized as water-based, solvent-based, hot melt, and UV cured. The products segment includes rubber-based, acrylic-based, silicone-based, and other. By application, the market is categorized into tapes, labels, graphics, films & laminates, and others. The applications segment includes food & beverage, packaging, electronics & laminates, medical & healthcare, building & construction, automotive & transportation, and other.
The water-based category is expected to hold a major share of the global Pressure Sensitive Adhesives Market in 2024. This is due to the fact that water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives are made from a combination of water, polymers, and additives. It is best suited to porous and non-purpose substrates. Furthermore, several types of monomers can be utilized to obtain desired qualities such as peel strength, shear strength, and tackiness during the formation of water-based PSAs. Tapes, labels, paper, packaging, and woodworking use water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives.
The packaging care segment is projected to grow at a rapid rate in the global pressure-sensitive adhesives market since pressure-sensitive adhesives function as a catalyst for the packaging industries since they provide various benefits such as less retention time, no physical transformation or chemical reaction, and others, all of which save time and boost production.
Asia Pacific Pressure Sensitive Adhesives Market is expected to register the highest market share in revenue in the near future. This is due to increased infrastructure activity in nations such as India and China. Furthermore, the demand for pressure-sensitive adhesives will increase as the need for building chemicals rises. Again, rising demand for low volatile organic compound (VOC) content adhesives from China, Japan, and India drives demand for water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives. Adopting transparent and film labels, shrink-wrap labels for makers of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), flexible labels, and colorful wrap-around labels in North America is expected to boost the market. The pressure-sensitive adhesives market is yet in its earlier stages of development, and it has a greater potential for growth in the future.
