Based on application, the global hot melt glue gun market is segmented into packaging, construction, automotive, furniture, footwear, electronics, and others. In 2020, the packaging segment held the largest share of the global hot melt glue gun market. The increased adoption of flexible packaging techniques across multiple industries, such as retail, pharmaceutical, food, and beverage, is predicted to drive up demand for packaging. The flexible packaging material includes a bag, pouch, and film. The emergence of e-commerce businesses in the world is another factor that drives demand for packaging. As consumers' attitudes toward health consciousness develop, the packaging industry is looking for more innovative food and beverage packaging materials. The need for hot melt glue guns is increasing as the packaging industry expands. Durable glue guns that can run continuously over long periods of time are required for packaging and carton closure applications. Small detailed cartons can be glued to heavy quality wraparound cases with a hot melt glue gun. It's ideal for bonding all types of packaging since the wide range of formulations available makes it simple to find the right one for any application. Even if packaging comes in a variety of materials, the use of a hot melt glue gun is unaffected because it can stick to all types of paper, board, and plastics, as well as a variety of other substrates. Beverage cartons, cookies and biscuits cartons, dairy product carton closures, agricultural box closures, instant noodles box sealing, cooking oil box closing, cooking sauce carton sealing, iron frame carton sealing, and other applications.

The global hot melt glue gun market is segmented into five main regions-north America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South America. In 2020, Asia Pacific held the largest share of the global hot melt glue gun market, followed by North America. The growth of the hot melt glue gun market in the Asia Pacific region is mainly attributed to the rising focus of government authorities on infrastructural development in countries like China, Japan, and India. For instance, the growth in infrastructure development projects such as dams, airports, expressways, and national highways in India is expected to drive the hot melt glue gun market in the near future.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Hot Melt Glue Gun Market

COVID-19 pandemic first began in Wuhan (China) in December 2019, and since then, it has spread across the globe. As of May 2021, the US, India, Brazil, Russia, the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Germany, Colombia, and Argentina are among the worst affected countries in terms of confirmed cases and reported deaths. The coronavirus pandemic has affected economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The chemical & materials industry is one of the major industries suffering serious disruptions, such as supply chain breaks, technology events cancellations, and office shutdowns, as a result of this pandemic. The shutdown of various plants and factories in leading regions such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East & Africa has affected the global supply chain and negatively impacted the manufacturing, delivery schedules, and sales of various goods. Furthermore, various companies have already announced possible delays in product deliveries and slump in future sales of their products.
