Bio-Based Adhesives Market Size Forecast to Reach $11.1 Billion by 2026

Bio-based Adhesives Market

The Increased Demand From the End-Use Industries and the Environmental Regulations for Environmentally-Friendly Products Is on the Rise, Which Is Accelerating the Bio-Based Adhesives Market.

Bio-Based Adhesives Market size is forecast to reach $11.1 billion by 2026, after growing at a CAGR of 9.8% during 2021-2026. Bio-based adhesives possess extensive characteristics such as flexibility and easy curing mechanisms, owing to that they are commonly employed in end-use industries such as construction, medical, and packaging. The growing consumption of petroleum-based products (fossil-based materials) and their consequent negative environmental impact (increasing carbon footprint), there is an increasing need to develop novel and more sustainable sources to obtain raw materials. Additionally, the increasing concern about running out of petroleum resources, an increased focus has been placed on developing environmentally friendly and sustainable adhesives. This is particularly driving the demand for bio-based adhesives. Furthermore, the increasing demand from the packaging sector is likely to provide growth opportunities for the bio-based adhesives industry during the forecast period. However, bio-based additives have a shorter shelf life and perform less well than petroleum-based additives, which is likely to limit the bio-based adhesives market growth.

COVID-19 Impact

The big shift in consumer sentiment in favor of environmentally sustainable packaging solutions has been one of the primary sector development in recent years. Although COVID-19 is unlikely to put a stop to this in the long run, it may have a short-term effect on the pace of change. The ban on plastic straws, stirrers, and cotton buds, which was set to take effect later this month, has been postponed until October 2020 by the UK’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). The food service industry has also had to rethink its use of reusable or refillable products that may transmit disease. Even before the lockdown, several coffee shops, for example, had resorted to using disposable cups. Pre-packaged foods, such as fruit and vegetables, may also become more common among retailers and consumers, rather than buying them loose. Consumers may perceive such options as safer, as they may speed up restocking and time through the till. Essentially, during the current crisis, the values that packaging has long served – protecting the protection, hygiene, and integrity of products – may come to the fore. Although this could be a fad, market demand is likely to fluctuate and decrease in the near future.

Bio-based Adhesives Market Segment Analysis – By Raw Material

The plant-based segment held the largest share in the bio-based adhesives market in 2020, up to 62%. Plant-based adhesives are derived from various sources including soy protein, lignin, and starch. Furthermore, the scarcity of natural resources has resulted in the discovery of new sources of raw materials. In comparison to petroleum and natural gas, starch is a relatively inexpensive raw material for the development of adhesives. The popularity of plant-based bio-adhesives over fossil-based materials adhesives has exploded in recent years. Soy protein is a good choice among natural renewable resources for industrial use because of its high production volume and low use of soy meal-based products for human food consumption. Because of its low cost, high protein content, and ease of processing, soy protein is an ideal raw material for the production of wood adhesives. Owing to the cost-advantage associated with plant-based adhesives its demand increasing during the forecast period.
