Dublin, Jan. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Water-Based Adhesive Market- Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028 Segmented By Resin Type (Polyvinyl Acetate Emulsion, Acrylic Polymer Emulsion, Vinyl Acetate Ethylene Emulsion, Others), By Application, By Region and Competition" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Water-Based Adhesive market is anticipated to grow significantly through 2028. Through 2028, the market is anticipated to rise due to rising environmental consciousness and a paradigm shift toward more environmentally friendly and sustainable options. The European Union generated approximately 2.71 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions in 2021.

A further factor anticipated to fuel market expansion is the expanding tendency in the packaging sector to reduce solvent-based use and embrace sustainable alternatives. Water-based adhesives are developed using a combination of water, polymers, and additives. They are ideal for porous or non-porous substrates.

These adhesives may be formulated as solutions and are activated as the water evaporates or is absorbed by the substrate. Additionally, various useful properties, such as durability, flexibility, and economic efficiency, are extended by water-based adhesives that boost the water-based adhesive market towards immense growth. Moreover, the growing demand for lightweight and low pollution-causing vehicles is another factor driving the market's growth.

Furthermore, the increasing demand from paper & packaging, building & construction, and others are the crucial factors that propel the market's growth. Several businesses and research institutions are active in the market and concentrate on creating such environmentally friendly goods. The market is hence anticipated to have enormous growth potential in the years to come as a result.

Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA) Emulsion Will Continue To Be a Key Resin Type

Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA) water-based adhesives is majorly used in the wood industry for making complex joints. The use of polyvinyl acetate also provides heat resistance throughout the joint and improves the lifespan of the wood. Polyvinyl Acetate improves the UV degradability issue related to wood and imparts higher resistance against UV radiation. These adhesives are also used in bonding paper, cardboard, wood, base and for moisture-activated bonding. Therefore, polyvinyl acetate emulsion is currently the most in-demand type of water-based adhesive and is expected to dominate the market studied during the forecast period.

Growing Movement Towards Sustainability

In recent years, the use of water-based adhesives has grown significantly. These adhesives do not emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere since they do not include a solvent. Water-based thus acts as the basis for sustainability. When multi-layer flexible structures are mechanically recycled, the right adhesive can ensure consumer safety and the required protection performance without lowering the recycled material's quality.
