Hot-melt Adhesives Market Drivers

Increasing Demand for Hot-Melt Adhesives (HMAs) in Various DIY Applications

HMAs can bind to a wide range of materials and surfaces that make them ideal for DIY applications, such as ceramic, cloth, paper, cardboard, metal, and plastics. While in developed economies such as North America and Europe, DIY is common, it is a relatively new notion. The DIY apps include art, woodworking, packaging of general products, and others. Because of its ease of use and the availability of HMA weapons, the stick type of HMA is commonly used in these applications. In contrast to emerging markets, the DIY approach is very popular in the United States and European countries, where labor and installation costs are high. In terms of floor space and labor requirements, hot-melt systems are cost-effective. This is most likely due to the expense of running large drying and curing ovens and emissions control equipment being removed. Solvent recovery and incineration devices are often removed from hot melt systems, which are inevitable for solvent-based systems. Moreover, this decreases the expense of installation and maintenance of these systems and thus increases their demand for DIY applications.

Rising Demand for Hot-melt Adhesives in Construction Industry

In the construction industry, hot-melt adhesives offer several advantages over other solvent-based adhesives. Hot-melt adhesives eliminate or reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and eliminate the drying or curing step, thus due to which it is increasing being used in the construction industry. Rising demand for hot-melt adhesives in flooring and carpets, doors, garage doors, windows, tile insulation, and other applications, has further raised the demand for hot melt adhesives in the construction industry. Currently, increase in private construction activities, along with the government investments in various public building and construction projects, is likely to uplift the demand for hot-melt adhesives. For instance, The Greater Cornubia, is a mixed-use and mixed-income development with industrial, residential, commercial, and open spaces. The development includes 58,000 housing units that are to be provided by both the public and private sectors and will be available to a wide range of income groups. The project's proposed investment value is R25 billion (US$1.65 billion), with a 16-year investment (the project officially started in 2016) period (until 2032). Thus, with the rising building and construction activities the demand for hot-melt adhesives is anticipated to rise over the forecast period.

Hot-melt Adhesives Market Challenges

Strict Regulations

Hot melt adhesives, however, are susceptible to higher temperatures, which lose bond strength at higher temperatures, a key factor that restricts the growth of the global market for hot melt adhesives. According to the FDA regulation of adhesives in food packaging, manufacturers of completed food packaging must guarantee that adhesives are separated from food by a functional barrier, according to Section 175.105. Thus, hot melt adhesives must also fulfil the criteria for indirect interaction with food under Sec 175.105 of the Federal Regulations. For carton sealing of both fruit and vegetable boxes, hot melt adhesive tapes are appropriate. It is not only used in farm packaging, but also in food boxes that are prepackaged. The legislation lays down requirements for the use of hot melt adhesive in applications for food packaging. Different ASTM standards such as D4499-07(2015), ASTM D 4498-07 (2015) and D3236 describe test methods to differentiate between different adhesives on the basis of their viscosity and open time. In addition, enforcement in developing countries with strict regulations is expected to hamper the growth of the global demand for hot-melt adhesives over the forecast period.

Hot-melt Adhesives Market Landscape

Technology launches, acquisitions and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the hot-melt adhesives Market. Major players in the hot-melt adhesives market are Henkel AG & Co., KGaA, Arkema Group, H.B.
