Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA) Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Technology (Water-based, Solvent-based, Hot melt, Radiation), By Application (Tapes, Label, Graphics, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2025-2032

The global pressure sensitive adhesives market size was valued at USD 14.38 billion in 2025. The market is projected to grow from USD 14.81 billion in 2026 to USD 18.82 billion by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.04% during the forecast period.

Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA) is a type of non-reactive adhesive which forms a bond with the substrate when pressure is applied. The special characteristic of these adhesives of not solidifying but retaining its viscosity makes them permanently tacky and suitable for applications. The hassle free application of these adhesives has significantly contributed the increasing demand of PSA.

Increasing demand for PSA from various end use sectors due to the durability and firm application is likely to drive the market. the high demand for acrylic adhesives due to high environmental resistance, resistance to corrosion, heat, temperature, UV radiations, color stability, and water resistance shall foster the market growth.

However, manufacturing of pressure sensitive adhesives involves emission of VOCs which are harmful for human health. This is expected to hinder the pressure sensitive adhesives market growth.

Key Market Driver -

Increasing demand due to easy adaptability and other exceptional properties.

Key Market Restraint -

Stringent regulations regarding VOC emissions.
