South America Bioadhesive Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The South America Bioadhesive Market is expected to grow from US$252.934 million in 2025 to US$369.397 million in 2030, at a CAGR of 7.87%.

Bioadhesives are glues made from biological materials like gelatin, starch, or cellulose, which are naturally occurring polymeric compounds having adhesive properties. Under a number of circumstances, they are frequently used to hold various materials together and prevent their separation. They are also employed to facilitate adhesion between cells, between an organism and external surfaces, and between living and non-living elements of an organism. Bioadhesives are becoming more and more well-liked since they are more environmentally friendly than synthetic adhesives. The end-use sectors for the adhesives include manufacturing, packaging & paper, medical, and wood, among others.

South America Bioadhesive Market Growth Drivers:

• Rise in construction to boost the growth of the bioadhesives market in the South America Region

Due to the features and physical properties of adhesives and sealants, the building and construction sector accounts for a large portion of their consumption, making it the market's main end-user category. They are utilized in a variety of settings, including HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), concrete, joint cement, resilient flooring, roofing, fixed window frames, etc. Growing construction activity in nations like Brazil, Colombia, Chile, and Peru is probably going to fuel the demand for bio-based adhesives in the region.

• Rising demand for Pharmaceutical packaging is expected to boost the growth of the bioadhesives market in the South America Region

The increasing applications of bioadhesives across a variety of end-use sectors are the primary drivers driving the market expansion. The rise is attributed to the expansion of packaging applications in pharmaceutical packaging. Bioadhesives are quickly displacing conventional invasive wound closure techniques, such as surgical sutures, staples, and wires, in the healthcare industry due to their antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, enhanced wound healing, and leakage prevention properties. They are also utilized in skin-bonded monitoring systems, wound care dressing, and transdermal medication delivery.

South America Bioadhesive Market Product Offerings:

• GantrezTM ms-955 polymer: Maleic anhydride polymer and copolymer is GantrezTM ms-955 polymer. It is offered as an off-white powder and is a sodium and calcium salt mixture of methyl vinyl ether and maleic anhydride. The polymer chains are further cross-linked by the cations' formation of salt bridges. It hydrates, enabling cohesion and stickiness in denture adhesive creams. It can be used directly in formulas for denture adhesives. The features and advantages give a strong, long-lasting hold for denture adhesive lotions and powders in wet conditions. Oral patches and denture adhesives are among the applications.
• 3MTM Fast Tack Water-Based Bioadhesive 1000NF: The 3MTM Fast Tack Water-Based Adhesive 1000NF is a one-part, solventless adhesive that requires no mixing for safe and simple handling. A proprietary water-based adhesive from 3MTM, Fast Tack Water-Based Adhesive 1000NF, combines quick, heat-resistant bonding, repositionability, and high ultimate strength to produce successful results. Waste is reduced by low overspray and high coverage. The 3MTM Fast Tack Water-Based Adhesive 1000NF has a quicker bonding time than most one-part water-based adhesives, achieving handling strength in about one minute or less to keep production processes moving. The adhesive is non-flammable and free of polychloroprene, which can help to lower insurance costs and increase workplace safety.
