Market Driver:

Increasing Application of Hot Melt Adhesives to Enable Speedy Expansion

The increasing application of HMAs owing to its advantages such as high productivity induced by process automation, a wide variety of applicability, eco-friendliness, and re-adhesion possibility will have a tremendous impact on this market. The shift from solvent-based adhesive or water-based adhesive to hot-melt adhesive owing to its high-speed adhesion will spur demand in the forthcoming years. For instance, during solidification, HMAs do not lose thickness, whereas solvent-based hot melt adhesives can lose up to 50-70% of layer thickness during the drying process. Moreover, its high efficacy reduces the amount of material used, thereby resulting in low labor costs. The hot-melt adhesive exhibits significant advantages compared to conventional solvent-based adhesives that typically require evaporation and removal of solvents or polymerization to bind substrates together. Hence, the growing utilization of HMA in end-use industries will positively foster the market's healthy growth.

Shortage of Workers to Retard Business Development amid Coronavirus

A temporary halt on operations has negatively impacted the global market. The automotive industry experienced a massive hit due to the disruption caused by the coronavirus. For instance, PSA, Renault, and Fiat Chrysler closed their production at their manufacturing plants.

Booming Construction Industry to Consolidate Market in Asia Pacific

The market size in Asia Pacific stood at USD 3,138.3 million in 2019. Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the global hot melt adhesives market share during the forecast period. The increasing use of hot melt adhesives in emerging economies such as India, Japan, and China will favor the market in the region. The furniture and building industries are expected to contribute significantly to the growth of the market. The heavy investment in infrastructure is likely to create lucrative opportunities for the market in Asia Pacific. The rapidly expanding packaging industry will spur demand for HMA, thus aiding the market growth in Asia Pacific.
