The uv cure adhesives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.52 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to miniaturization of electronic devices, growth in medical technology, expansion of electric vehicles, increasing automation in manufacturing, advancements in photoinitiator chemistry. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for fast curing adhesives, rising use in electronics assembly, expansion in medical device bonding, shift toward solvent free adhesives, adoption in precision manufacturing.

The growing demand for consumer electronic devices is expected to drive the growth of the UV cure adhesives market in the coming years. Consumer electronics are devices designed for personal use, primarily for entertainment, communication, and personal management, aimed at simplifying daily life through user-friendly technology. Demand for these devices is rising due to the integration of smart technologies that enhance functionality, convenience, and user experience, making them increasingly essential in everyday life. UV cure adhesives are employed in consumer electronics for bonding, sealing, and encapsulating components such as screens, sensors, and housings, ensuring precision and durability. For example, in May 2023, the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association reported that total consumer electronic equipment production in Japan reached $209.16 million (¥32,099 million), up from $164.65 million (¥25,268 million) in May 2022. Hence, the increasing demand for consumer electronic devices is driving the UV cure adhesives market.

Key companies in the UV cure adhesives market are focusing on developing advanced dual-curing and moisture-reactive adhesive technologies to improve bonding efficiency and reliability. Dual-curing adhesives combine UV/visible light curing with humidity-induced cross-linking to achieve complete bonding even in shadowed areas. For instance, in July 2025, Panacol, a Germany-based manufacturer in the industrial adhesives market, launched Vitralit UD 8060 F, a high-performance, one-component adhesive for electronics and sensor assembly. The adhesive offers high elongation at break, strong adhesion to substrates such as PC, PMMA, FR4, copper, and aluminum, and temperature resistance from -40°C to +130°C. It cures rapidly under UV or LED light while completing curing via atmospheric humidity, preventing thermal stress on sensitive components. Vitralit UD 8060 F provides a flexible bond that absorbs mechanical stress, maintains strength under humid conditions, and includes a fluorescent tracer for visual quality control, supporting reliable manufacturing quality assurance. Like all Panacol adhesives, it is RoHS-compliant and free from heavy metals and phthalates.

In May 2024, H.B. Fuller, a U.S.-based adhesive manufacturer, acquired ND Industries for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is aimed at accelerating H.B. Fuller’s growth in the high-margin segments of the functional coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers (CASE) industry. ND Industries, a U.S.-based chemical company, specializes in manufacturing fastener-related adhesives, sealants, and thread-locking products for various industries.
