Global Instant Adhesive Market Outlook, 2027

Instant adhesives are commonly referred to as cyanoacrylate adhesives or super glue as they have immediate bonding capacity. They quickly cure by reacting with moisture for reliable connections with instant high-performance bonding of common materials such as rubber, metals, wood, plastic, and polystyrene. Instant adhesive is suitable for any industry, whether applied manually or through instant adhesive dispensing equipment on automated lines, with custom tool designs available to fit individual specifications. Generally, they are used for high-performance bonding of materials in seconds, with products available for rubber, polystyrene, wood, metal, and even the latest generation of plastics. Finally, with a wide range of viscosities available, there is an instant adhesive suitable for any workflow—from conventional bonding to gap filling and sealing. The advantages of using instant adhesive are: flexible adhesion for moving substrates; high strength to bond substrates; large temperature resistance range; weather and moisture resistance; low odour and low bloom adhesion. According to the research report, "Global Instant Adhesive Market Outlook, 2027," published by Bonafide Research, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.10% over the forecast period. The rapidly growing market can be attributed to high applications in electronics and consumer industries in recent years. The automation in the electronics and appliances industry to make light-weight electronics has largely helped generate market revenues. The electronics industry has the highest application of instant adhesives with nearly 23% market share and is expected to generate higher revenues over the forecast period. The advancements in electric vehicle manufacturing and the need to make them lighter further drive the demand for instant adhesive globally. It is projected that the application of instant adhesive in the transportation industry is expected to grow rapidly at a CAGR of 9.25% during the forecast period. Therefore, the market is estimated to show overall lucrative growth for the market. However, the low durability and high cost of instant adhesives as compared to other types of adhesives are restricting the growth of the global instant adhesives market.

Cyanoacrylate adhesives have a major market share of 80% and are generally cured through conventional processes. Moreover, cyanoacrylate adhesives are fireproof and environmentally safe, making them ideal for use in automated dispensing systems while constructing a variety of products. They are formulated with 100% solid materials, which significantly reduce risk during the manufacturing process. Cyanoacrylate adhesive curing times range from several seconds to a few minutes. They are able to bond to a wide range of similar and dissimilar materials like metals, plastics, elastomers, ceramics, and wood, which provide exceptional bond strength with even stress distribution as well as excellent ageing and weathering properties. This makes them ideal for design engineers who need to fix to a variety of materials during the assembly process. It is very easy to use and automate, whether it is introduced into an existing production line or in a maintenance repair shop. These fast-fixing, high-strength cyanoacrylates can be specified for higher temperature applications (up to 250 °F), replacing slower-curing adhesives such as acrylics, epoxies, and silicones. The use of instant adhesives in the electronics industry is widespread as they contribute directly to the manufacturing of electronics with long-term operation and longevity. Major uses of adhesives in the electronic industry include bonding of surface-mount components (SMCs), wire tacking, potting or encapsulating components, and conformal coating of circuit boards. They are also used to assemble prototype electronics (used in wire wrap), fly model aircraft, and as retention dressings for nuts and bolts. Their effectiveness in bonding metal and general versatility has made them popular among modellers and miniature hobbyists. Cyanoacrylate adhesives are used for the instant tacking of wires inside electronic devices as it keeps circuit boards neat and orderly, making them easier to handle in later stages of the assembly process. It is also used for soldering and fixing components to either side of a PCB, as it efficiently secures SM components prior to the mechanised soldering process. Low viscosity adhesive is applied to the top of the transformer stack as it wicks down to seal between the laminates and prevents buzzing or rattling in use. They are also used to bond LCD screens to substrates for a good aesthetic appearance and high strength. Headset bonding components together and non-bloom formulation are required to maintain a good aesthetic appearance. Additionally, they are also used in bonding torroids to improve durability and resistance against high levels of vibration. The growth of the instant adhesives market can also be attributed to the increased investments by key market players to launch efficient and cost-effective products. High growth in the end-use industries of Asia-Pacific and miniaturisation and automation in the electronics industry are further fuelling the demand for instant adhesives.

Furthermore, inventions in green adhesives technology along with the increased investments by leading market players to launch efficient and cost-effective products extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2027. Additionally, the rising awareness about the benefits of instant adhesives will further enhance the future growth of the instant adhesives market. However, the surging prices of instant adhesives in comparison to other adhesives will restrict market growth. Factors such as poor solvent and temperature resistance and a decrease in robustness also hamper the market's growth. The Asia-Pacific region leads the instant adhesives market owing to the booming manufacturing industry and their presence in the region, specifically in India and China. The region is estimated to show lucrative growth during the forecast period of 2022 to 2027 due to the increase in the demand for instant adhesives from advancing countries. Furthermore, the low tax rates and the occurrence of major key players will further boost the growth of the instant adhesives market in the region. The outbreak of coronavirus had a negative impact on the instant adhesives market. due to severe disruptions in manufacturing and supply-chain operations as a result of lockdowns and other limitations imposed by governments all over the world. Furthermore, consumer demand has decreased as people are now more focused on removing non-essential expenses from their budgets since the general economic situation of most people has been badly impacted. The global instant adhesives market is likely to revive as regional government agencies begin to lift these enforced lockdowns. Companies present in the market: 3M, Bostik SA, Delo Industrial Adhesive, H.B Fuller, Henkel AG & Company, Huntsman Corporation, Illiniois Tool Works Incorporation, Lord Corporation, Loxeal Engineering Adhesive, Parson Adhesives, Permabond LLC., Pidilite Industries, RPM International Inc, Sika AG, Toagosei Co.
