Failures can become success stories. Cyanoacrylate was completely unusable as a transparent plastic – but as a superglue, the fast-curing material is now constantly inspiring new users: climate demonstrators use it to glue themselves to roads, doctors spray wound dressings, forensic technicians secure fingerprints. Adhesive technology is highly innovative and is conquering more and more areas of application. The adhesives market report has now examined the market for adhesives in Europe for the fifth time: In 2021, the total demand of vinyl, acrylic, polyurethane, elastomer, epoxy and other adhesive types in 23 European countries, including Russia, the Caucasus and Turkey, amounted to around 3.2 million tonnes.

European Demand for Adhesives in 2021: Vinyl 34% / Acrylics 16% / Polyurethane 8% / Elastomers 17 % / Epoxy 2% / Others 22 %

This study looks in detail at vinyl, acrylic, polyurethane, elastomer, epoxy and other adhesive types. For 22 individual European countries, including Russia, Caucasus countries and Turkey, information is provided on demand, production, import and export of adhesives since 2019 – and forecasts up to 2031. Volumes are given in tonnes, and revenues in both USD and EUR.

Not covered here are sealants, cement, mortar, and phenol and other formaldehyde condensates. → Ceresana offers its own market study on sealants and adhesives made of polyurethane (PUR).

 

Proven and Innovative Applications

The most important sales market for adhesives is the paper and packaging segment, which accounts for around 30% of total European demand. Due to stagnating private consumption, Ceresana market researchers do not expect a recovery in this area until 2024. The construction industry, the second largest market for adhesives, is also currently experiencing a significant slump. The automotive industry, which is increasingly replacing screws, rivets and welding with adhesives, is also relying on innovative joining technology: Around 18 kilograms of adhesives are used in a new car, and around 250 kilograms in a bus – from the protective layers of the battery cells to the crash-proof windows. Adhesives enable lightweight construction not only in aircraft, but also in ships, for example. Other major applications for adhesives are wood processing, leather, shoes and other consumer products.

 

Sticky Vinyls

The most significant adhesive type in terms of volume is currently vinyl products, which offer a particularly wide range of applications. The most important grades include adhesives based on polyvinyl acetate (PVAC). Additionally, polyvinyl acetate is used to produce polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), which is also used as an adhesive for porous materials such as paper, cardboard, wood, cork or leather. The main consumers of vinyl adhesives are the paper, packaging, wood products and construction industries. They mainly use water-based products and hot melt adhesives.

 

Wanted: Environmentally Friendly Adhesives

Adhesives sometimes contain large quantities of solvents that can evaporate from bonded surfaces or from containers. Organic solvents, especially aromatic hydrocarbons such as xylene or toluene, are not only a fire hazard but also a health hazard because their vapors are addictive and can cause cancer. For this reason, more environmentally compatible alternatives are increasingly being sought. In Europe, water-based adhesives already accounted for around 52% of total consumption in 2021. If an adhesive contains only water as a solvent, however, preservatives have to be added, which in turn can be problematic for people with allergies.

 

The Study in Brief:

Chapter 1 of Ceresana’s new study provides a comprehensive presentation and analysis of the European adhesives market – including forecasts up to 2031: for each country, the development of sales, demand per application, trade, and production are detailed.

For the 8 largest countries in Europe, market data is broken down in detail for the different adhesive types and adhesive technologies:

  • waterborne adhesives
  • hot melts
  • solvent-borne adhesives
  • reactive adhesives
  • other technologies.

Chapter 2 thoroughly analyzes the different applications of adhesives, their respective data and influencing factors:

  • paper and packaging
  • construction
  • wood processing
  • transportation
  • shoes and leather
  • consumer products
  • other applications.

It also looks at demand for individual adhesive types:

  • Vinyl
  • Acrylic
  • Polyurethane (PUR)
  • Elastomers
  • Epoxy
  • Other Adhesives.

Chapter 3 provides a useful manufacturer directory with the 83 most important adhesive producers in Europe, clearly arranged by contact details, revenues, profits, product range, production sites, brief profile and specific information on adhesives. The adhesive manufacturers featured include: 3M Europe N.V., AkzoNobel N.V., Bolton Group, Compagnie de Saint-Gobain S.A., Dow Europe GmbH, H.B. Fuller Europe GmbH, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, Lohmann GmbH & Co. KG, and tesa SE.
