Water-Based Adhesive Market Dynamics

Major drivers for the growth of this market are the variety, flexibility, and economic practicality of water-based adhesives

The demand for water-based adhesives is ever increasing. These adhesives set quickly and form powerful bonds that will remain strong for an extended period of the adhesive market unless exposed directly to excess water or moisture. Water-based adhesives also serve an important purpose in product assembly in industries like packaging and woodworking (furniture products and boxes) and lamination applications in the graphic arts industry, creating a significant demand for water-based adhesives in the forecast period.

Further, waterborne adhesives' major benefits are the absence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and ease of clean-up after application. Many paints and finish manufacturers such as Rohm and Haas, Behr, and Benjamin Moore offer low or no-VOC products for various woodshop applications. For example, Monocoat company product contains no VOCs, nor does it contain other harmful chemicals. Its clear-color oil is a pigment-free, natural finish that adds a slight amber tone to wood.

Stringent regulatory policies may hinder market growth in the coming years.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis on Water-Based Adhesive Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has harmed the global water-based adhesive market. The disturbances in supply chain management and transportation of goods and services harmed the growth of the market. Many manufacturing and production units were disrupted due to the government enforced lockdowns and curfews across the world which led to losses and wastage of many water-based adhesive products. The pandemic also significantly changed consumer demand and behavior. Consumers refrained from purchasing non-essential products amid the pandemic thereby impacting the sales of water-based adhesive products. The uncertain and unexpected situation caused by the pandemic significantly impacted the market hence, slowing its growth. There was a steep decline in the demand for water-based adhesives due to the lockdowns and travel restrictions in almost all the countries which negatively affected the growth of the market. But the post-pandemic situation has improved. The market has recovered and is set to grow at a high rate.

Water-Based Adhesive Market - Segmentation Analysis

Based on the end-user, the global water-based adhesive market is broadly segmented classified into building and construction, woodworking, paper & packaging, automotive, and others

Among all these end-users, paper & packaging dominate the market in terms of a long-lasting, high-strength bond and low-VOC content. Woodworking is also anticipated to remain a strong contributor in the forecast period's water-based adhesive market, owing to its specific design and high quality. Several next-generation adhesive solutions address the growing demand from wood furniture and flooring manufacturers for materials that reduce hazardous emissions in their finished goods, considering that wood naturally emits VOCs. 

Further, the companies aim to strengthen their global market position through their product portfolio to design several next-generation adhesive solutions. For instance, in April 2019, H.B. Fuller has specifically designed several next-generation adhesive solutions to address the growing demand from wood furniture and flooring manufacturers for materials that help reduce hazardous emissions in their finished goods, considering that wood naturally emits VOCs. These new products include Rakoll 4933, a formaldehyde-free, water-based adhesive; Rakoll 5010, a low monomer emission reactive hot melt adhesive; and a range of NEP-free primers for edge-banding applications.

Water-Based Adhesive Market - Geographical Analysis

Based on the region, the global water-based adhesive market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa

The Asia Pacific dominated the global water-based adhesive market among all regions due to growing demand from the automotive industry. The rising volumes of production and an increase in the number of variants of vehicles sold around the globe have further propelled the demand for the water-based adhesive market. Also, water-based products provide an excellent alternative to solvent-based adhesives. These products significantly reduce VOC emissions in the manufacturing process. Low-viscosity compounds also perform consistently well in OEM tests, making water-based adhesives a great way to ensure that vehicles do not emit volatile chemicals. This technology will function optimally with a permeable substrate; if the door panel is composed of different fabrics such as foam and leather, this could be ideal for the manufacturer. 

Furthermore, as per the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) in 2019, in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East region, the total number of commercial vehicles sold was around 8,043,351 vehicles, heavy trucks, buses, and coaches. This is expected to provide huge opportunities for manufacturers and distributors seeking to extract profits from this market.
