Market Trends of Polyurethane (PU) Hot-melt Adhesive Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Polyurethane Hot Melt Adhesive Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Demand from the Packaging and Electronics Industries
- An extremely high proportion of industrial products are sold in packaging, either due to requirements demanded storage and transport or for aesthetic reasons. PU hot-melt adhesives are mainstream adhesives in the packaging industry.
- They are most widely used for carton closing, sealing, etc. The packaging industry represents one of the largest end-user industries in the PU hot-melt adhesives market.
- PU hot-melt adhesives draw moisture from the substrates and the atmosphere and cure to form a stronger bond compared to other adhesives, including water-based adhesives and other hot-melt adhesive formulations.
- Moreover, polyurethane hot melt offers a stronger adhesion and cures better than traditional hot-melts, which makes it a prudent choice in the growing industrial packaging industry.
- Perfumes, cosmetics, and beauty products are customarily packaged in transparent cases. These hot-melt adhesives are used to seal those packages that ensure a clear application and help in dispensing a perfect end product.
- Due to all the above mentioned factors the Packaging and Electrnincs industry are expected to drive the market studied in the upcoming years.
