The hot-melt adhesive market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 5.57% during the period 2020−2026. This is according to a new report form Arizton Advisory and Intelligence, a quality-driven firm research firm. Hot-melt adhesives are a form of thermoplastic adhesive, also known as hot glue.
In North America, the demand for hot-melt adhesives primarily comes from the packaging industry and it’s likely to continue as the key driving factor for this market — reaching an absolute growth of 39% between 2020 and 2026, with an incremental growth of U.S. $870.85 million.
The U.S. will be the highest revenue generator in the region during the forecast period.
Additionally, bio-based adhesives are gaining attraction with the demand for sustainable products. Bio-based hot melts contain around 60% renewable, naturally obtained resin content. These bio-based, hot-melt adhesives are economical and typically offer a higher penetration into fibers of cartons and other materials, ensuring a strong bond.
Most bio-based packaging adhesives are hot melts, and these are significantly greener than their conventional alternatives. These bio-based adhesives are used for tray forming, top and bottom case sealing, carton sealing, and wraparound carton sealing. EVA hot-melt adhesives are flexible and compatible with various other polymers and additives, which makes the manufacturing processing fairly simple.
Hot-melt adhesives also come in pellet form are made up of chemical compounds that help in quick adhesion on permeable and impermeable surfaces. These adhesives in pellets are available in form of slugs, sachets, firm, powder, and tablets. They’re most suitable for application in the manufacturing process where rapid melting is required.
