Green Adhesives Are Trending: Ceresana Report on the European Market for Bio-Based Adhesives
Hotmelt, construction adhesives, or thermoplastic adhesive films for lightweight composites: Bio-adhesives are increasingly meeting even demanding standards for high-performance industrial products. On the one hand, adhesives are still produced in large quantities from crude oil. On the other hand, adhesive products that are at least partially made from renewable plant or animal raw materials are conquering more and more areas of application. For the first time, Ceresana has now specifically analyzed the European market for “green” adhesives. The new market study “Biobased Adhesives – Europe” forecasts that sales of sustainable adhesives in this region of the world will grow to around EUR 1.5 billion by 2034.
Rising Demand for Bio-Adhesives for Bags, Plywood, and Furniture
The demand for environmentally friendly and high-performance bio-adhesives is increasing, particularly in the paper and packaging industry, the construction sector, and wood processing. Paper bags, corrugated board, bottle labels, and other packaging materials alone currently account for almost a third of sales generated with bio-based adhesives across Europe. The packaging industry can combine bio-adhesives well with bioplastics such as polylactic acid (PLA), while the construction industry may use them together with bio-based paints, coatings, and insulating materials. Ceresana expects market growth of 3.4% per year for the European bio-based adhesives market. In addition to market data and forecasts, the bio-based adhesives market report by Ceresana also contains background information on the general economic situation and the situation in the construction industry in the individual countries.
