Report Scope
Adhesives and adhesive-applying equipment industries are vital in the ever-changing global economy, providing binding solutions for complex productions in numerous sectors. The function of adhesives and their associated equipment and machinery is to enhance the bonding of the substrates, giving them durability, strength and the ability to meet the requirements in different applications. The effective operation of adhesive equipment ensures consistency, precision and minimal wastage in the substrate surface bonding. Adhesive equipment therefore improves the end user’s cost-effectiveness and assists in providing new opportunities in the adhesive market.
For this analysis, the global markets for adhesives and adhesive-applying equipment were segmented into:
- Adhesives: By curing technique (e.g., physically hardening, chemically curing, pressure sensitive); by technology (e.g., hot-melt adhesives, solvent-based adhesives, water-based adhesives, reactive adhesives); by chemicals (e.g., acrylic, cyanoacrylate, epoxy, polyurethane, silicone); by end use (e.g., packaging, transportation, building and construction, woodworking, consumer/do-it-yourself [DIY]).
- Adhesive-applying equipment: By type (e.g., auxiliary equipment, application process equipment, dispensing equipment, unloading equipment). By end user (e.g., packaging, transportation, building and construction, others).
The auxiliary equipment category is further segmented into robotics and automatic, web-handling, curing and other equipment. The application process equipment category is further segmented into spray, dots and beads, wheel, brush and others. The dispensing equipment category is further segmented into holt-melt/dispense, meter mix and others. The unloading equipment category is further segmented into tubes and cartridges, drums, pails and totes, pallets, slats and bricks;
This report also covers the global adhesives and adhesive-applying equipment market’s current dynamics, the strategies and trends driving the demand for adhesives, the key manufacturers of these products, recent environmental, social and governance (ESG) developments and a competitive landscape in which companies are operating within this market. A brief profile of the major global manufacturers in this market is also provided. The adhesives and adhesive-applying equipment market is also analyzed from international and regional perspectives to understand the industry’s growth potential.
