The global laminating adhesives market size was valued at USD 3.65 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 3.80 billion in 2024 to USD 5.53 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period. Asia Pacific dominated the laminating adhesives market with a market share of 37.53% in 2023.


Laminating adhesives is an essential component to produce films with advanced functions by laminating multiple films, which are bonded together to form a top layer. These include plastic film, aluminum foil, paper, and others. The laminating mechanisms are cured using heat or a combination of heat and pressure, similar to hot melt adhesives. These adhesives can bond well, withstand high temperatures, and shield from low-risk environmental factors. The adhesives’ properties are always apparent and are used to laminate paper or films that need to be read while protecting them from water and tearing.


Laminating adhesives can bond certain surfaces due to their varied compositions. Some products stick to paper, metal, glass, and masonry, while others stick to textiles, wood, and porous surfaces. The adhesives can also join two different materials such as rubber and metal. A laminating adhesive may or may not contain solvents. They can be made resistant to chemicals, UV rays, and humidity and withstand temperatures up to 450°F. Besides, these can also be developed for use in high-voltage applications and with electrical goods.


The spread of COVID-19 led to a reduced demand for laminating adhesives owing to the shutdown of operations by various end-use industries. These included food & beverage, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and other sectors. It forced manufacturers to reduce production. Also, limitation on the movement and trade disrupted the supply chains involved in the market. Market trends, such as breaks in cash flow, transfer in resource allocation, the essential for social distance, and others will bring about change on every stage.


Laminating Adhesives Market Trends


Rising Adoption of Solvent Free and Water Based Adhesives to Propel Industry Expansion


As environmental awareness has grown, solvent-free adhesives have become more common in the flexible packaging industry. It eliminates the erosion of organic solvent on printing ink caused by residual solvents in packaging products. Solvent-free adhesives are a future development trend that will be multifunctional and able to work with various materials in various industries. Waterborne adhesives are eco-accommodating and less harmful to on-site laborers. Water is a much cheaper solvent than organic solvent. Besides, waterborne adhesives are safer and less expensive than similar solvent-based adhesives. These are some of the primary reasons for driving the global laminating adhesives market growth.

Laminating Adhesives Market Growth Factors


Growing Demand for Flexible Packaging in the Food & Beverage Industry to Propel Industry Expansion


Surge in the population in the urban areas has increased the demand for flexible packaging which is bringing innovative trends of smarter and safer packaging in the food & beverages industry. The necessity for laminating adhesives has risen recently from general-purpose economic packages to high-performance applications such as direct usage microwavable packaging. This calls for the manufacturer to integrate laminating coating with energy-efficient and eco-friendly structures that can be used under dry food packaging (snack food, soup pouches, coffee, pasta, and others), fresh food packaging (meat, cheese, and fish packaging), fruit juices stand-up pouch, confectionery and ice cream packaging, portion lidding, glass lidding (dairy products, dry food), and ready meal packaging. Thus, the flexible packaging sector is expected to increase the global market size significantly.


Advances in Technology Lead to Development of Eco-Friendlier and More Sustainable Laminating Adhesives


Advances in technology have revolutionized the production of laminating adhesives, making them eco-friendlier and more sustainable. With the increasing awareness of environmental issues, manufacturers have started developing adhesives that have minimal impact on the environment, while still providing the same level of performance as traditional adhesives.


New eco-friendly laminating adhesives are being made using plant-based or recycled materials that are non-toxic and biodegradable. Additionally, some manufacturers are now using renewable energy sources to power their production processes, thereby reducing their carbon footprint. These sustainable laminating adhesives are not only better for the environment, but they also offer other benefits, such as improved safety for workers and reduced waste. As more businesses adopt sustainable practices, the demand for eco-friendly laminating adhesives is expected to grow, leading to even more advancements in this area.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Strict Rules and Regulations by Governments on the Disposal of Plastics to Restrain Market Growth


Governments all over the globe have been imposing programs and recycling processes for the release of dangerous chemicals from the recycling shops. This has raised a concern in the way plastics are discarded in the form of bags and holders which pollutes the aqueducts leading to clogging and hence, making a harder impact on marine brutes. Each time, large quantities of plastic is dumped in the oceans, it impacts the food chains of the marine ecosystems. Due to this, global authorities along with municipal authorities have imposed strict rules and regulations which hampers the demand for laminating bonds.


Laminating Adhesives Market Segmentation Analysis


By Resin Type Analysis


Polyurethane Segment to Hold the Largest Share Owing to the Strong Bonding Hold and Wide Performance Profile


Based on resin type, the market is segmented into polyurethane, acrylic, and others. The polyurethane segment held a significant laminating adhesives market share in 2023 owing to their characteristics over the other resin types in the market. These adhesives have excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates with numerous properties. These include non-flammability, enhancement of cure time, and formulation changes that can vary pot life. In addition, good flexibility can be achieved in the cured product. These adhesives remain bonded through a wide range of operating temperatures.


By Technology Analysis


Solvent-Based Segment to Dominate with the Growing Product Use in the Packaging Industry


Based on technology, the market is segmented into solvent-based, solvent-less, water-based, and others. Solvent-borne adhesive is the most widely used technology for flexible packaging laminating adhesives. It offers urethane technology with a long history of product development. Also, it provides good adhesion and performance to meet requirements from general to high-performance food packaging with good adhesion, product resistance, and heat resistance. This is the major driving factor for the growth of solvent-based adhesives.


In the past, general-purpose applications have been served by waterborne acrylic adhesives. For converters, waterborne adhesive typically costs less than solvent-borne adhesive. An emulsion polymer known as waterborne acrylic is produced by water's free radical polymerization of acrylic monomers. The lamination can be immediately slit to the waterborne adhesive with the increased shear strength.
