Current situation of adhesive industry
With the development of modern industrial construction and advanced technology, as well as the improvement of social economy and living standards, the role of adhesives in people's daily life and production is becoming increasingly irreplaceable. In 2023, the global adhesive market capacity will reach 24.384 billion yuan. Analysis of the current situation of the adhesive industry predicts that by 2029, the global adhesive market size will reach 29.46 billion yuan, with an average annual compound growth rate of 3.13% during the forecast period.
According to incomplete statistics from the "Research Report on the Development Trends and Competitive Strategies of China's Adhesive Industry from 2024 to 2029", domestic adhesives are mainly used in the construction, packaging, and wood industries, accounting for over 50% of the total. The application of Chinese adhesives in the mid to high end field will further increase during the 14th Five Year Plan period. According to the annual conference of China's adhesive and tape industry, the development goal of China's adhesive industry during the 14th Five Year Plan period is an average annual growth rate of 4.2% in production, 4.3% in sales, and an expected application rate of 40% in the mid to high end field.
Some domestic adhesive companies have emerged in the mid to high end market through continuous research and development investment and technological innovation, forming strong competition with foreign-funded enterprises and achieving localization substitution of some high-end products. Companies such as Huitian New Materials and Silicon Treasure Technology have already gained high competitiveness in niche markets such as microelectronic adhesives and touch screen adhesives. The time gap between new product launches by domestic and foreign enterprises is gradually narrowing, and the trend of import substitution is evident. In the future, the localization rate of high-end adhesives will continue to increase.
In the future, with the continuous development of the global economy and the increasing demand for adhesives in various application fields, the adhesive market will continue to maintain a growth trend. At the same time, trends such as green environmental protection, customization, intelligence, and biomedicine will lead the future development direction of the industry. Enterprises need to closely monitor market dynamics and technological development trends, strengthen R&D investment and technological innovation to meet market demand and enhance competitiveness.
Classification of Adhesive Industry
The analysis of the current situation of the adhesive industry mentions that there are many classification methods for adhesives: in terms of usage, they can be divided into structural adhesives, non structural adhesives, and special adhesives. Some adhesives are specifically developed for a particular application and have gained market recognition, allowing them to be classified according to their respective fields, such as automotive adhesives, construction adhesives, electronic adhesives, medical adhesives, sealants, potting adhesives, thermal conductive adhesives, and conductive adhesives.
Natural adhesives are adhesives made from organic materials that exist in nature. They are generally derived from plants or animals and typically have good biodegradability and environmental friendliness. Synthetic adhesives are adhesives obtained through artificial synthesis or chemical processing. Their performance is more stable and they have a wide range of applications. Common types include epoxy resin adhesives, which are based on epoxy resin and have extremely high bonding strength and high temperature resistance. They are widely used in industries such as aerospace, electronics and electrical, and automotive. Acrylic adhesive, based on acrylate compounds, has good weather resistance, UV resistance and aging resistance, and is widely used in construction, automobile, household appliances and other fields.
According to the curing method, thermosetting adhesives are adhesives that are cured by heating or chemical reactions. They cannot dissolve or reshape after solidification, and have strong resistance to high temperature and corrosion. Thermoplastic adhesives can melt when heated, solidify after cooling, have reversibility, and can be repeatedly heated and cooled. UV curable adhesives are cured by UV radiation. It has a fast curing speed and almost no solvent residue after curing, and is commonly used in high-precision electronic devices, optical products, and other fields.
According to the classification of adhesive performance, strong adhesives usually have extremely strong adhesive strength, can withstand large external forces, and are widely used in the industrial and construction fields. Elastic adhesives have good flexibility and shock resistance, and are suitable for applications that require certain deformations or stresses, such as automotive seals, building joints, etc. Removable adhesives have low adhesive strength and can be easily removed without damaging the substrate. They are commonly used for bonding labels, stickers, etc.
Overall, the adhesive industry can be classified into various categories based on different standards, from raw materials to applications, from curing methods to adhesive properties. Each type of adhesive has its specific usage scenarios and advantages. With the development of new materials and advances in technology, the types and applications of adhesives are constantly expanding. Especially the research and development of environmentally friendly and functional adhesives provide more efficient and environmentally friendly choices for various industries.
