Laminating Adhesives Market

Market Overview:

The global laminating adhesives market size reached US$ 3.0 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 4.6 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2% during 2023-2028.

Laminating adhesives are highly functional laminate composites used for joining, assembling and packaging material surfaces. They are commonly available in electron beam (EB), ultraviolet (UV), hot melt, solvent-based, solventless and water-based variants. These adhesives are manufactured using polyurethane, acrylic, polyester, epoxy, vinyl, aliphatic urethane, nylon and aromatic urethane resins. Laminating adhesives are used for packing snacks, meats, confectioneries, cheeses, agricultural chemicals and medical products. They exhibit various advantageous properties, such as high chemical and heat resistance, mechanical performance, transparency, wettability, bond strength and compatibility with other materials. As a result, they are widely used across industries, such as flexible packaging, automotive, transportation, manufacturing and construction.

Laminating Adhesives Market Trends:

The rising demand for flexible packaging solutions across industries is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. With the increasing number of manufacturing units, food processing plants and industrial production setups, there is a shifting consumer preference toward laminating adhesives to secure flexible packaging materials. Moreover, widespread product adoption in the automotive industry is providing a thrust to the market growth. Lamination adhesives are used in the display modules, body panels, fenders, grill opening reinforcement (GOR), heat shields, headlamp reflectors and frames of the automobiles to protect the surface from the external environment and enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. These adhesives are also widely used in the place of nuts and bolts due to their lower cost of production and higher bonding strength. In line with this, the increasing demand for laminated pharmaceutical tablets, pouches, and medical devices is also contributing to the growth of the market. Additionally, the development of advanced water-based adhesives for natural and synthetic textiles, metallic films and plastics is creating a positive outlook for the market. Other factors, including the increasing consumer demand for packaged and ready-to-eat (RTE) food products, along with rapid industrialization, especially in the developing economies, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
