The development trends and technological impetus of the water-based industry

The market demand for water-based adhesives is growing

In recent years, the water-based adhesive industry has shown a vigorous development trend. Whether it is the continuous expansion of the market scale, the continuous optimization of the product structure, or the increasingly strong market demand, all these demonstrate the strong growth of this industry. China has become the world's largest consumer market for water-based adhesives, accounting for over 30% of the global market share, and its share in the domestic adhesive market has exceeded 65%.

 

Environmental protection and technology drive the overall growth of the industry

The continuous prosperity of the packaging industry is the key driving force for the growth of the water-based adhesive market. These adhesives, with their excellent heat resistance and chemical resistance, play an indispensable role in multiple fields such as shoes, packaging tapes, flexible laminations, label applications, office tapes, and food packaging. Especially in the field of food packaging, due to the non-reactive nature of water-based adhesives, they have become the first choice. Meanwhile, the rapid development of the automotive industry has also brought new growth opportunities to the water-based adhesive market. Environmental awareness and technological innovation have driven the growth of the water-based adhesive industry. With the increasing demand for automotive interiors and other areas, the application of water-based adhesives is also becoming increasingly widespread.

 

It is worth mentioning that high-performance water-based adhesives such as water-based polyurethane, water-based acrylic (ester) latex, and water-based epoxy, as sustainable bonding solutions, have a growth rate much higher than that of traditional solvent-based adhesives, becoming an important force driving the green development of the adhesive industry.
