The global Hot Melt Adhesives Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 7.84 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.2% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Hot melt adhesives are thermoplastic polymers that are applied in a molten state and solidify upon cooling. They are applied using hot melt guns or extrusion coating equipment. Hot melt adhesives do not require solvents and cure rapidly upon cooling and application of pressure. They offer benefits such as durability, high bonding strength, heat and water resistance and recyclability. Due to these advantages, hot melt adhesives find wide application in packaging, transportation, construction, textiles and other industries. The growing infrastructure & construction activities and demand from the packaging industry are expected to drive the growth of the global hot melt adhesives market over the forecast period.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the hot melt adhesives market is the development of bio-based and sustainable adhesive formulations. Rising environmental concerns are prompting manufacturers to develop adhesive solutions from renewable resources. For instance, Henkel has developed technology to produce hot melt adhesives from plant-based materials such as castor oil, soybean oil and corn. These bio-based adhesives have equivalent performance as compared to petroleum-based adhesives. Another trend gaining traction in the market is the growing demand for hot melt adhesives from the nonwoven hygiene market. Hot melt adhesives are widely used in the production of baby diapers, adult incontinence products and feminine hygiene articles. Rising global birth rates and aging population are contributing to the increased demand for such hygiene products thereby driving sales of hot melt adhesives in this application segment.
Porter's Analysis
Threat of new entrants: Low-moderate, as substantial initial investments are required to build facilities and achieve economies of scale in production due to requirement of specialized equipment and machinery. Bargaining power of buyers: Moderate-high, as buyers have several product alternatives and their buying power is strengthened due to presence of global players across regions. Bargaining power of suppliers: Low-moderate, as raw materials required are widely available and suppliers have less control over pricing due to availability of substitutes. Threat of new substitutes: Low-moderate, as new substitute adhesives faces high switching cost for end users in applications where hot melts are preferred for advantages like rapid setting at room temperature. Competitive rivalry: High, as the market is moderately consolidated with global players competing on basis of product differentiation, innovation and geographical expansion.
