China Adhesives Market Trends

Packaging is the largest segment by End User Industry.

• Adhesives in China are categorized according to their application. Construction and packaging are the most important consumers in the country, accounting for roughly 54% of total adhesive users, owing to China's fastest-developing industries. China's adhesives consumption declined in 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19. In terms of volume, demand declined by approximately 8% in the same year as in 2019. The country's lockdown for around half a year, which prompted production facilities to shut down, and personnel unavailability are two of the primary reasons for the reduction in adhesives production and consumption in China.
• Before the establishment of New China, the packaging industry failed to keep pace, but the situation immediately and fully altered with the establishment of New China. China's packaging industry has advanced from tiny to huge and weak to strong, creating a fully modern packaging system and becoming the world's packaging power. The number of companies over the required size in China's packaging sector reached about 8,831 in 2021, an increase of 648 from 2020.
• China is the world's largest construction market, with an annual average growth rate of 8.6% projected between 2022 and 2030. However, it is heavily leveraged, and the government is enacting efforts to wean the economy off its reliance on land sales. At the same time, the sector is being impacted by an aging population and a general economic slump. Recent design and building trends in China emphasize local communities, younger people, and culturally relevant projects. All such factors tend to increase the demand for adhesives in the country.
