The global UV-curable adhesives market size reached USD 373.4 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 631.7 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.71% during 2025-2033.

A UV-curable adhesive is a type of light-curing adhesive that cures through UV light exposure without requiring any heating, making it ideal for packaging temperature-sensitive materials or devices. Post application, these adhesives use ultraviolet light or other varieties of radiation to induce hardening and to form a permanent bond without heating. Environment and user-friendly in nature, they consist of oligomers, monomers, photo-graph initiators, and UV clear filters that promote quick curing. These products offer superior properties, such as rapid curing rates, high bond strength, and low VOC emissions. They are also extremely strong, flexible, and can withstand extreme temperatures and humidity. Their chemical resistance and quick curing time make them ideal for bonding, encapsulating, coating, tacking, and sealing applications in a wide range of industries.

UV-Curable Adhesives Market Trends:

The market is majorly driven by the escalating product demand in numerous end-use industries for the production of ceramic, rubber, metal, electronics, pharmaceuticals and plastic substrates. In addition to this, the growing need for better production rates resulting in the rapid utilization of assembly lines in the electronics industry is fueling the market. Also, the rising demand for UV adhesives for flexible packaging applications requiring weather resistance is providing an impetus to the market. This can be attributed to the rapid utilization of these adhesives in laminating films, papers, and foils for product packaging purposes. Apart from this, the widespread utilization of environment-friendly industrial coatings and the escalating demand for UV-curable inks in packaging applications are fueling the market. Moreover, the increasing use of UV-curable resins in 3D printing, barrier films, and printed circuits is impacting the market positively. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include rapid urbanization and industrialization, considerable growth in the e-commerce industry, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities.
