Fluctuating prices of crude oil is expected to drive bio adhesives market growth

Crude oil is extensively used in the manufacturing of petroleum-based adhesives. Fluctuating prices of petroleum feed stocks and crude oils is pushing manufacturers toward developing bio adhesives, supporting the market growth. Furthermore, increasing compostable bioadhesives demand for medical applications is likely to support the material’s demand globally.

Within the report, the market is segmented into type, application, and geography. By type, the market is further segmented into plant-based and animal-based. By application, the market is segregated into paper and packaging, construction, woodworking, personal care, medical, and others. Geographically, the market is sub segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South & Central America, and Middle East & Africa.

Bio adhesives are the natural polymeric materials derived from the biological sugar monomers. Global adhesives manufacturers are shifting from producing petroleum-based adhesives to bioadhesives to ensure safety and avoid skin itching & other health issues due to the VOC emission from the synthetic adhesives. In addition, stringent governmental policies and regulations related to the usage of synthetic construction materials that are responsible for health issues is pushing manufacturers toward developing eco-friendly composite materials. These aspects are likely to accelerate the global bioadhesives market growth. 

Increasing usage in various manufacturing industries to drive market growth

Bio adhesives are used in various industrial applications such as paper and packaging, construction, woodworking, personal care, medical, and others. Increasing demand for hot melt bioadhesives from the packaging sector is driving the paper and packaging segmental growth. Furthermore, increasing demand for the water-resistive, higher tensile strength-based bio adhesives for building and construction applications is expected to drive the construction segmental growth. Increasing bioadhesives usage in other industrial areas such as personal care, woodworking, medical, and others is also driving the market growth.
