Industry Trends and Drivers:
Rising demand for flexible packaging applications:
Within the contours of rigidity, standardization, and other factors, flexible packaging has emerged as the preferred choice for several industries, including food and beverages (F&B), pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. Laminating adhesives imparts an essential role in assembling multi-layered structures with utmost barrier properties that preserves freshness, provides safety to the product, and increases shelf-life. With an increase in packaged goods, the demand for laminating adhesives is supported by providing high-performance bonding solutions with specific functionalities such as resistance to moisture, transparency, and heat durability. This has motivated manufacturers to innovate with advanced formulations of laminating adhesives, thus trying to cater to different packaging requirements.
Shift toward environment-friendly adhesives:
The growing consciousness regarding environmental effect, in conjunction with stringent regulations about the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their counterparts, has prompted the move toward adhesive applications on solvent-free, water-based, and bio-based systems. The production of these environmentally conscious adhesives would greatly lessen the ecological footprint yet still possess the required performance characteristics for various application areas. Sustainable packaging is thus pushing manufacturers toward investment in research and development, producing innovative green adhesives that comply with regulations and meet market demands. Companies are now integrating these sustainable choices into their product range, thereby fueling the demand for performance-level laminating adhesives that have an environmental conscience.
Growing use in the automotive and electronics sectors:
Laminating glues find a lot of applications to bond the components together-whether exterior dashboard displays, touchscreen displays, or structural panels. They impart strength, thermal resistance, and protection against the environment. The transition in automotive manufacturing toward electric vehicles (EVs) demands advanced materials having the strength-to-weight ratio. The laminating adhesives offer the said properties, thereby helping manufacturers to design more compact and energy-efficient constructions without sacrificing performance. The electronics industry witnessed a move toward the development of user devices/off-the-shelf applications and became the driving market for laminating adhesives to give superior durability and precision bonding on small devices. This growing demand from automotive and electronics has increased investments into adhesive technologies to the next level, in support of changes in design trend in the automotive and electronics industries.
