The global hot melt adhesives market is an important adhesive technology that is seeing rising demand across various end-use industries such as packaging, footwear, automobile, and more. Hot melt adhesives are solid adhesives, when heated to their melting point, become flowable and can be used for bonding various materials. The properties of being non-aqueous, having low moisture sensitivity, and enabling fast bonding have made them popular for manufacturing and assembly applications. The global market is expected to grow substantially in the coming years due to factors such as growth in the packaging and footwear industries, the replacement of solvent-based adhesives with eco-friendly hot melt adhesives, and innovations leading to the development of high performance hot melt adhesives. Hot melt adhesive is an adhesive that is used across packaging, automotive, nonwovens, product assembly, tapes and labels, woodworking, paper bonding, and electronics sectors due to its adhesion properties. It is a thermoplastic polymer containing more than one polymer and additives such as pigments, resins, and stabilizers.
The packaging industry is the largest consumer of hot melt adhesives owing to the rise in e-commerce. Growing footwear and consumer goods sectors, particularly in developing economies, are also pushing market growth. The development of innovative and sustainable product varieties by manufacturers is opening up new application areas and opportunities. However, high dependence on petroleum-based raw materials affects supply stability, and price volatility remains a challenge. Also, the stringent environmental regulations over volatile organic compound emissions can hamper market expansion. Introduction of bio-based hot melt adhesives provides new opportunities by addressing sustainability issues.
