Glass Bonding Adhesives Market is expected to grow at Significant CAGR from 2021-2030 as per MRFR Analysis
Glass bonding adhesives are designed to offer optimal performance even upon exposure to hostile conditions. The glass bonding adhesives are solvent free and do not emit VOCs during cure. They form high-strength, durable, and water-resistant bonds to glass, plastic, as well as metal substrates.
The global glass bonding adhesives market is primarily driven by the increasing adoption of non-hazardous, green, and sustainable adhesives due to stringent regulations pertaining to environmental protection. The increasing use of glass bonding adhesives in UV curing technology is one of the major drivers of the glass bonding adhesives market. Rising demand for glass bonding adhesives from various end-use industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and others in emerging countries of Asia Pacific is likely to propel the market growth during the review period. The increasing prevalence of light-weight and fuel-efficient automotive across the globe is expected to drive the demand for glass bonding adhesives over the forecast period. High demand for durable, strong, and thermal resistant electronics appliances is expected to fuel the market for glass bonding adhesives. Within the Fast and Stable Adhesive Curing with Debonding Option (FACIDO) project, which started in 2017, modified adhesives containing curie-particles is likely to enable a robust adhesive bonding process by means of induction heating, envisaging materials such as glass, reinforced plastics, and metals. This process is expected to offer rapid curing even to the thick bond line as compared to the conventional heating. Moreover, the induction heating is safe, infinitely controllable, and compact, which makes it suitable and easy to use. Thus, the ongoing research & development to develop such bonding process using induction heating with short curing time is expected to boost the market growth. However, the high cost of glass bonding adhesives is likely to challenge the market growth during the assessment period.
Many of the market players are focussing on key developments such as expansion, acquisition, merger, and others. For instance, in May 2017, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA introduced innovative adhesives named ‘Loctite HY 4090’ and ‘Loctite HY 4080 GY’ which offer bond strength, speed, and durability. These innovations created opportunities for designers and OEM engineers looking for ways to improve assembly applications or streamline the process and to help overcome costly challenges. Furthermore, H.B Fuller announced acquisition of Royal Adhesives & Sealants for USD 1.575 billion as the company’s strategy for global growth. Considering these trends, the global glass bonding adhesives market is expected to grow considerably during the review period, 2018-2023.
