Lamination adhesive is a type of glue that holds the materials together and also provides excellent properties such as chemical & heat resistance, flame resistance, optical clarity, thermoforming capability, and electrical insulation. Moreover, they are also lightweight, easy to handle, and provide damage resistance. Lamination adhesive for flexible packaging acts as raw material for producing products for consumer durable industries. Pharmaceutical, medical, agricultural containers, and the food industry are some of the major end-use industries of lamination adhesive for flexible packaging.
Global lamination adhesives for flexible packaging market was valued at US$ 2.1 Billion in 2021 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period (2022 to 2030).
Drivers
Growing spending on packaged food across developed as well as developing regions is expected to propel the market growth of lamination adhesive for flexible packaging. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service, in 2018, U.S. consumers, businesses, and government entities spent US$ 1.71 trillion on food and beverages in grocery stores and other retailers and on away-from-home meals and snacks. Thus, growing spending by the consumers on packaged food is projected to augment the market growth of lamination adhesive for flexible packaging.
Developing markets such as BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) are projected to experience a surge in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth over the forecast period. This is projected to ultimately increase the manufacturing industry which is expected to propel the market growth of lamination adhesive for flexible packaging.
The raw material consumption and supply is not expected to get impacted hugely across the globe owing to the rise in demand for packaging solutions during the pandemic. Major players functioning in the market are adopting new strategies in order to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Producers are opting to expand their production lines of polypropylene, one of the key raw material for packaging products. This scenario is expected to fuel the production of raw materials used for packaging solutions in various countries across the globe.
