Adhesive Equipment Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecast (2021 - 2026)

The Adhesive Equipment Market is expected to register a CAGR of approximately 5% during the forecast period (2021 - 2026). The growth of the market is significantly driven by the increase in demand for disposable hygiene products (DHP). Concerns for safety, convenience, and hygiene are recognized as prime factors affecting the growth of the disposable hygiene products market.

• The adhesive dispensing equipment suppliers act as key partners in helping disposable hygiene manufacturers produce higher quality products faster, more efficiently, and at a lower cost. Furthermore, rising consumption of products, such as sanitary pads, wipes, baby products, and others across the world, is anticipated to drive demand for disposable hygiene products market in the near future.
• Moreover, from the end-user perspective, the packaging industry is expected to account for the largest market share of the market, especially for hot melt adhesives and water-based adhesives. This growth is driven by consumer preferences shifting toward new attractive packages, ease of use, sustainability, and conscientious environmental ideals.
• Various companies are expanding their solutions for several end-user industries to enhance their market presence. For instance, in June 2019, Henkel expanded its adhesive solutions portfolio with the launch of an adhesive solution called Loctite Liofol LA 2798 for high-performance packaging applications. The base component of Loctite Liofol LA 2798 can be combined with different hardeners for sterilization processes, aggressive filling goods, and hot filling processes. Hence, the above trends are indicative of the fact that the adoption of adhesive equipment is expected to grow during the forecast period.

Key Market Trends

Building and Construction Industry Expected to Grow Significantly

• The adhesive Equipment market is expected to find an increase in the number of applications in the building and construction industry, owing to the booming urban populations, which is, in turn, growing the expectation for safe, sustainable buildings and a healthy urban environment. Adhesive equipment can be used to outlast mechanical and environmental strain.
• Also, the use of certain materials, such as wood in the construction industry, as well as the discovery of the classic material for modern architectural solutions, is expected further to boost the use of adhesives in the industry. Hence, the growth of the adoption of adhesive equipment is expected to grow in the industry.
• Several companies are making product developments and improvisations for the building and construction industry, in an attempt to increase their market share. For instance, in January 2020, DAP reformulated and created a new edition of its DynaGrip Heavy Duty construction adhesive, which is designed to provide stronger and more durable bonds than previous editions of the product, as well as 50% more instant grab. The adoption of adhesive equipment in the industry is expected to grow, hence, fostering the market growth.

Asia-Pacific Expected to Dominate the Market
