Industrial Adhesives Tightening the Screws on Nuts and Bolts

The structural adhesives market is on the way of growth and it will continue the same way in the years to come.

 APAC will grow the fastest in the years to come. This is because of the high infra investments, numerous housing projects, and development of the real estate industry. All these factors have brought about an increase in the requirement for structural adhesives and further construction materials. These offer an enhanced product quality, high speed of production, and decreased costs to builders and fabricators.

The acrylic category, had the highest revenue in the past. As opposed to other structural adhesives, acrylic variants provide high shear and peel strength, allowing the making to bond with metals and plastics in quite a lot of applications, for example footwear, woodworking, DIY, and building & construction. 

The water-based category led the structural adhesives market in the past, and it will be the largest in the near future. The growing preference for water-based adhesives over solvent-based adhesives can be credited to the low or no emission of harmful (VOCs) from the former.

The building and construction category will have the fastest growth in the market. This has a lot to do with the use of these adhesives for a variety of applications, for example drywall lamination, flooring underlayment, countertop lamination, and construction of the houses, and in HVAC systems, concrete, ceramic tiles, resilient flooring, cement, roofing, pre-finished panels, and wall covering.
