Contact Adhesives Market to See Incredible Growth - 2025
An
adhesive is a substance that is used to bind two surfaces together.
Contact adhesives are adhesives that are employed for high strength
binding of different materials. They are also known as
semi-structural adhesives. The surfaces of both substrates to be
bonded are coated with contact adhesive evenly. Once the adhesive
dries by the evaporation of solvent, slight pressure is applied,
resulting in high initial strength. The drying process of the
adhesives is fast, and the bonded surfaces are very difficult to
separate. Thus, correct surface arrangement of the materials before
application of the adhesives is very important. The adhesive is able
to withstand rapid changes in temperature, moisture, and vibrations.
Contact adhesives can be utilized for binding of materials such as
paper & board, wood, leather, fabric, metal, rubber, glass,
ceramic, and plastic. These adhesives are preferred for products with
large surface area.

Report Overview @
The
contact adhesives market can be segmented based on dispersion system,
raw material, mode of application, end-use industry, and region.
Contact adhesives are manufactured in either solvent-based system or
water-based system. Raw materials (base polymers) utilized for the
production of contact adhesives include polychloroprene,
polyurethane, acrylic polymers, styrene butadiene rubber, butyl
rubber, and natural rubber. The raw material and its grade and
composition varies according to the end-use application of the
adhesives. Based on mode of application, the contact adhesives market
is divided into spraying, curtain coating, roller coating, and
brushing. Spraying is the most widely utilized mode of application of
the adhesives. Roller and curtain coatings are employed for flat
sheets. In terms of end-use industries, the contact adhesives market
can be segmented into footwear, automotive, building &
construction, furniture, packaging, and others. Based on region, the
contact adhesive market can be segregated into Asia Pacific, Europe,
Middle East & Africa, North America, and Latin America.
Easy
and fast adhesion, versatility in adhesion to materials, high
strength, flexible bonds, and resistance to aging, heat, oils, and
chemicals, are the driving factors of the contact adhesives market.
Solvent-based adhesive systems are preferred over water-based systems
due to their greater strength and durability. However, commonly used
solvents are flammable and toxic. Therefore, additional precautions
are required for safe handling of solvent-based systems. Stringent
environmental rules and regulations for VOC emission are likely to
hamper the market of contact adhesives. On the other hand,
water-based systems are safe and eco-friendly, as compared to
solvent-based systems. Water based systems require more time to dry
and have poor performance as compared to that of solvent-based
systems. Polychloroprene is expected to dominate the contact
adhesives market due to its high ultimate and shear strength. The
polymer is majorly utilized in the footwear industry. Acrylic
polymers are estimated to hold a major share of the market by the end
of the forecast period due to eco-friendly nature.
Asia
Pacific is anticipated to dominate contact adhesives market due to
the rise in number of vehicles and expansion of the automotive
industry in the region. China and India are anticipated to hold
prominent share of the market due to the expansion of their economies
and the increase in buying capacity. Demand for contact adhesives is
rising in North America and Europe due to the rise in construction
and repair & maintenance activities.
