The increasing use of tackifiers in the automotive and vehicle sector is expected to lead to growth in the worldwide tackifier market. Adhesion sealants are frequently utilized in welded or joined areas between diverse structures, such as automobile bodies, construction vehicles, and civil engineering vehicles. The demand for tackifiers is anticipated to increase along with the automobile industry. The automotive industry, which was valued at USD 2.9 trillion in 2021 and may grow further due to the rise in high-income groups along with growing financial assistance creating a friendlier market for low- or medium-income groups, is being driven by a growing number of players in the automobile segment providing a variety of products ranging from affordable divides to premium segments, catering to a large segment of the consumer segment. For instance, the Ford Motor Company, a major player in the car industry, sold more than 3.9 million vehicles in 2021, including sales through distributors and dealers, according to Statista.
In addition, the packaging industry makes heavy use of tackifiers. Tackifier, for instance, is used in a variety of products, including labels, flexible packaging, cartoons, cases, and envelopes. In addition to various types of solvents, these tackifiers can be used in conjunction with tape to create airtight seals in containers. The packaging industry's increasing need for tackifiers is anticipated to fuel market CAGR.
Furthermore, in every element of residential and commercial construction, hot melt adhesives are used, namely for bonding tiles, wallboard and plasterboard, as well as for roofing, flooring and plasterboard covering. Construction activity levels have risen as a result of economic growth and rising urbanization. For instance, construction production in France climbed to 56.7% in March 2021 as opposed to a loss of -41.1% in the same month in 2020, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies. Furthermore, in January 2022, non-residential building investment as a whole passed the $5 billion threshold for the first time since June 2020, marking a 1.5% rise, according to Statistics Canada. As building production and investments rise, hot melt adhesives will become more in demand. As a result, the tackifier is used more frequently in producing hot melt adhesives, which will accelerate the expansion of the tackifier sector.
Additionally, agriculture's tackifiers are widely used to immobilise or bind mulch materials like straw, pine needles, cellulose, or other mulch products put to seeded regions. Tackifiers are used to stop soil erosion because they stop the substance that is held to the soil's surface from moving. There may be significant potential opportunities as a result of the expanding use of tackifiers in other industries. Thus, driving the tackifier market revenue.
The tackifier market segmentation, based on end-use includes packaging, building & construction, rubber, paints & coatings and pulp & paper. The packaging segment dominated the market. These adhesives create flexible packaging materials like labels, envelopes, cases, and cartons. The creation of effective opening and closing settings for packaging products necessitates the employment of high-quality tackifiers, which will result in increased demand during the next years.
The tackifier market segmentation, based on form, includes solid and liquid. The solid category generated the most income due to increased use of marketed tackifiers in pressure-sensitive and hot-melt adhesives.
The Eastman Chemical Company, a renowned chemical producer, brought in about $9.272 billion in sales in 2019.
The tackifier market segmentation, based on type, includes natural and synthetic. The synthetic category generated the most income because petroleum resins' qualities are superior than those of natural resins. According to studies, utilizing synthetic tackifiers enhances the adhesive's overall quality; yet, the market also faces regulatory challenges from the government.
For instance, according to study papers, the performance of ethylene propylene diene polymethylene (EPDM) rubber was improved when 24 parts per hundred rubber (phr) was used.
The tackifier market segmentation, based on application, includes pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) and hot-melt adhesives. The pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) category generated the most income. The need for pressure-sensitive adhesives is rising across a range of end-user industries, including communications, electrical and electronics, packaging, and automotive and transportation. Because they inhibit corrosion and lessen vibration, pressure-sensitive adhesives are employed to manufacture tapes and labels. During the anticipated period, pressure-sensitive adhesives will have stronger growth due to product improvements in the flexible packaging market.
