This study analyses the use of pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) across various applications. PSAs are non-reactive. These adhesives do not require heat, water, or any solvent for activation and are designed to form a bond at room temperature when pressure is applied at the time of installation. However, at lower temperatures, these adhesives tend to lose their tack, and at higher temperatures, they show reduced shear holding ability. PSAs are usually coated on backing materials and used in various forms.
This study discusses the dynamics across the following end-application segments: packaging, automotive, building and construction (B&C), medical and hygiene (M&H) and others (e.g., electrical & electronics (E&E), white goods, road marking and signage, aerospace, paper and printing, and sports equipment). The study also analyses the various product forms in which PSAs are made available for customers, namely tapes, labels, films, graphics and laminates. The aim is to highlight the growth opportunities in each product segment across various end applications. Chemistry analysis and technology analysis are two other important aspects of the study. The chemistries discussed include acrylics, rubber, silicones, and others (e.g., polyesters, polyolefins, and polyurethanes). Water-borne, solvent-borne, hotmelt, and UV curable PSAs are the key technologies discussed.
The Impact of the Top 3 Strategic Imperatives
Transformative Megatrends
Why
- Increased eCommerce in the packaging industry, vehicle electrification in transportation markets, miniaturization in the electrical and electronics (E&E) industry, and wearable electronics in the medical industry are some of the important megatrends impacting the demand for PSAs in respective end industries.
- These trends demand PSA solutions that help end industries with their design needs and performance requirements.
Frost Perspective
- PSA formulators and resin manufacturers must understand the evolving trends in end applications to develop suitable PSA formulations to help converters, brand owners, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and other value chain stakeholders use PSAs efficiently.
- Ease of application, processability, on-demand reworkability, and residue-free removal of adhesives are among the crucial aspects that formulators must focus on during the forecast period to keep pace with evolving end-industry demands.
Disruptive Technologies
Why
- Adhesive application automation is a noteworthy trend, as customers across end industries are looking to speed up the application of adhesives and improve application precision.
- Adhesives must offer flexibility to cater to manual and automated/robotic adhesive applications.
- Increased focus on recycling components/materials in the packaging and automotive industries has led to the need for on-demand adhesive debondability.
Frost Perspective
- Reparability in E&E and resealability in packaging applications are enhancing adhesive characteristics, requiring formulations to be capable of enabling media debonding/detaching when necessary.
- Developing functional formulations will be crucial for PSA manufacturers to remain competitive.
Industry Convergence
Why
- The adhesive market is expanding to include stakeholders from various ancillary markets to provide enabling technologies for the formulation, conversion, and application of adhesives.
- The use of radiation cure technologies, such as infrared and ultraviolet (UV), will accelerate, and these technology providers will gain significance in the PSA landscape.
- Companies that specialize in lamination, films, and graphics will increasingly look to introduce innovative solutions for various end industries.
Frost Perspective
- PSA formulators working closely with these technology providers will become increasingly important for developing sophisticated products and remaining competitive.
- Close collaboration with converters will help PSA manufacturers develop flexible adhesives that speed up conversion processes and facilitate effective resource use. Collaboration with brand owners and OEMs will be important to gain insight into development with evolving market dynamics.
