According to the latest research, the global Adhesives market size was valued at USD 23176.29 million in 2022 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.21% during the forecast period, reaching USD 31429.29 million by 2028.
Adhesives refers to the material that adheres two objects together, and different adhesives are used according to the characteristics of the material to be bonded. The adhesive is actually a diluted resin, and the resin itself is sticky. According to its chemical properties (such as epoxy resin, polyurethane, polyimide), or it carrying capacity (structure, semi-structure or non-structure) and so on.
Impacts from the short-term
Affected by the popularity of COVID-19, adhesives are a capital-intensive and talent-intensive industry. Due to irresistible factors, the downstream industry of adhesives in most regions shows a trend of continuous decline or slow growth in sales. With the rapid development of automobiles and industry, this popularization will undoubtedly accelerate the market's demand for adhesive regulators. COVID-19 will have less impact on large companies that adopt current strategies and focus on improving profitability. The most affected will be small and medium-sized enterprises, especially during the tightening period after the epidemic.
Impacts from the long-term
When the epidemic is under control, various downstream adhesive market industries will usher in a strong rebound, especially in the automotive industry market, where the sales of adhesives will also increase. Coupled with the digitalization of e-commerce in the industrial equipment market, it has become more and more convenient for people to buy the adhesives they want. Therefore, as long as the adhesive can continuously update its product performance and attract the attention of consumers, the development opportunities of the industry will become more and more optimistic.
Use of 3-D vision in adhesive applications
3-D vision systems are used to inspect adhesive applications that can’t be addressed with conventional 2-D vision systems. When adhesive is applied to hold two components together or seal a joint against the elements, it is often possible to determine the footprint of the adhesive using 2-D machine vision or a human inspector, but these techniques cannot accurately determine the volume of the glue or the glue’s features when the adhesive and the part or background are black on black. A 3-D vision system that uses a combination of a laser that projects a line and an image sensor overcomes these challenges and can determine the position and the volume of the adhesive. This makes it easy to verify that the correct amount has been applied and that it is in the right position to seal the part.
Ebeam technology is thriving
Ebeam technology has existed for over 40 years, but more recently, it has been gaining traction among adhesives manufacturers and package converters as an alternative to oven drying and ultraviolet curing. The technology is favorable because it is both powerful and cost-effective. Ebeam technology produces virtually no VOCs (volatile organic compounds) which the Adhesive and Sealant Council views negatively, since they can contribute to respiratory issues and compromised air quality. The upfront cost of an ebeam system is traditionally more expensive than UV systems but the payback period can often be calculated in months since they offer more consistent output and more efficient energy usage.
