Hot Melt Adhesives Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Resin (Metallocene PO (MPO), Polyurethane and Other Resins), Product Type (Glue Sticks, Glue Slugs and Other Product Types), Application (Furniture, Packaging Solutions and Other Applications), and By Geography


According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Hot Melt Adhesives Market is accounted for $9.1 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $13.5 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period. Hot melt adhesives are thermoplastic adhesives made of polymers that are utilised in mechanical anchorage. Due to the rising demand for new and enhanced goods from numerous end-use sectors, including automotive, manufacturing, packaging, furniture, and non-woven/hygiene, the global market is anticipated to experience significant expansion.

According to Business Insider’s BI Intelligence, online shopping is anticipated to reach up to USD 632 billion in sales by 2020, with the growth of e-commerce continuing to skyrocket.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

High demand in DIY applications

Hot Melt Adhesives (HMA) are ideal for DIY projects because of their ability to adhere to a broad range of materials and surfaces, including ceramic, fabric, papers, cardboard, metal, and plastics. Although DIY is common in Western economies like North America and Europe, it is still a relatively new idea in emerging markets like India, the United Arab Emirates, and Turkey. The DIY uses range from crafts to woodworking to packaging for everyday items. Due to its simplicity of usage and the accessibility of HMA guns, the stick version of HMA is frequently used in various applications.

Restraint:

Lower thermal resistance of Hot Melt Adhesives (HMA)

When the temperature is close to their flow point, HMA are particularly effective, which facilitates the movement and bonding of the adhesives for a variety of applications, including packaging and nonwoven hygiene goods. However, because of their lower thermal resistance, they show limitations at high temperatures. For such purposes, solvent and aqueous adhesives are used in their place.

Opportunity:

Increasing demand of reactive HMA over traditional adhesives

Comparing reactive hot melt adhesives to traditional formulations based on solvents, they have a low or nil VOC content. They are more environmentally friendly than the traditional options because they don't contain any solvent and have met VOC requirements. The adoption of environmentally friendly products is a current manufacturing priority, which is driving up demand for these adhesives. These adhesives have the capacity to do away with solvents and gain further advantages like decreased labour and energy expenses. Flexibility, high strength, and great adherence to a variety of substrates, such as wood, textiles, plywood, particleboards, foams, metals, and plastics, are just a few of their physical characteristics.

Threat:

Difficulty in usage on hard-to-bond substances

Hard-to-bond surfaces include low surface energy substrates, low porosity or low surface roughness substrates, highly recycled paper stock, and other shiny and coated polymers. For glueing, these surfaces need hardened adhesives. HMA take longer to harden than other light-cured adhesives like epoxy adhesives since they are not cured. HMA are not thus preferred for materials that are difficult to bond. This could lead to the substitution of two-part acrylic-based adhesives.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had a favourable effect on the expansion of the world market. Globally mandated tight lockdown regulations increased e-commerce sales and the need for packaging solutions. Hot melt glue was in high demand for the production of medical packaging solutions because of the outbreak's strong need for pharmaceutical and medical products. In the years to come, hot melt adhesives are anticipated to have profitable demand in the automotive and electronics sectors thanks to the removal of lockdown measures and the resurgence of industrial activity.

The ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. EVA is a copolymer adhesive, deployed in various industries including packaging, assembly, paper, and automotive. Excellent adhesion, strong mechanical strength, paraffin solubility, and superior flexibility are the key features propelling the segment growth.

The nonwoven hygiene products segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The nonwoven hygiene products segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to rising disposable income and growing personal hygiene concerns are the main drivers of demand for nonwoven products such feminine hygiene items, diapers, and personal care items, which in turn is expected to accelerate industry growth.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to its affordable labour. China continues to be a major location for industrial product assembly. As a result, it uses a lot of HMA in a variety of applications, including footwear, wood goods, and appliances. Due to the expansion of the footwear industry, adhesive consumption is rising in Southeast Asian nations like Vietnam and Cambodia.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to The expansion of the building industry, the expansion of the automotive industry, and the expansion of online product delivery services in Western European developed nations like Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Spain will all have a favourable impact on the market growth in the area.
