The Global Laminating Adhesives Market size was valued at USD 3.76 Billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 3.95 Billion in 2025 to USD 6.18 Billion by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period.
The global market for lamination adhesives is expanding at a high rate owing to increasing demand from packaging, automotive, construction, and electronics industries. Lamination adhesives are put to widespread use in laminating two or more layers of materials for providing durability, strength, and attractiveness. Rising demand for flexible packaging in the food and beverages sector and increased awareness for product safety and environmental sustainability are driving the market for high-performance lamination adhesives. In addition, advances in adhesives, such as solvent-free and waterborne products, are gaining popularity due to having a lower environmental impact and adhering to stringent regulations.
The sharp rise in the e-commerce sector has also helped fuel demand for value-added packaging solutions, driving market growth of lamination adhesives with high bonding strength and chemical, moisture, and heat resistance. Automotive and construction industries are also using laminated materials to improve product functionality and durability and thus driving growing market growth. Another emerging trend is the trend towards recyclable and bio-based adhesives as the manufacturers' attention shifts towards green and sustainable products. However, fluctuating raw material prices and environment-friendly laws can prove to be hurdles in the expansion of the market.
The market scope is segmented because of by Resin Type, by Technology, by End-use Industry.
Based on the Resin Type of the market is segmented into Polyurethane, Acrylic, Others.
The polyurethane segment is the dominant segment of the global market for lamination adhesives due to its superior bonding, flexibility, and adhesion properties to bond a range of substrates. Polyurethane adhesives exhibit excellent adhesion to plastics, metal, and paper-based products and hence are the top choice in mission-critical end applications in flexible packaging, automotive, and industrial laminations. Their high temperature, water, and chemical resistances also further their application as food packaging material, where the safety and longevities of the product are major issues of concern.
Another reason for the supremacy of polyurethane adhesives is that they are versatile in both solvent-based and solvent-free forms. Solvent-based polyurethane adhesives establish excellent bonding in high-speed laminations, while solvent-free versions are increasingly sought after because they are environmentally friendly and meet strict green regulations. Polyurethane has thus emerged as the preferred resin type for manufacturers seeking to achieve both performance and sustainability.
The quick growth in the food and beverage packaging segment, fuelled by rising demand for convenience and ready-to-eat foods, further accelerated the market position of lamination adhesives based on polyurethane. Also, expansion in pharmaceutical and personal care segments with multilayer and flexible packaging has further fuelled the demand. While acrylic and other types of resin are applied in certain uses, their use is lower in comparison to polyurethane adhesives, which provide unparalleled durability, resistance to chemicals, and process efficiency, cementing their position as market leaders.
Based on the Technology of the market is segmented into Solvent-Based, Water-Based, Solvent-less, Others.
The solvent-based market dominates the global lamination adhesives market due to its greater bonding power, fast drying time, and better performance in high-speed industrial processes. Solvent-based lamination adhesives have good adhesion to a wide range of substrates like plastic films, aluminium foils, and paper and therefore are the preference for flexible packaging, automotive, and industrial laminations. Their chemical and water resistance provides life to the product, particularly for food and drugs packaging, wherein shelf life as well as safety is important.
One of the most significant benefits of solvent-based adhesives is that they possess high initial bond strength and rapid drying rate, which enables effective manufacturing in high-speed lamination operations. This renders them ideal for mass production where timely operations are of utmost importance. Additionally, solvent-based adhesives also perform better in harsh environmental conditions, including high humidity and changing temperatures, which is a critical element of their continued dominance.
While environmental issues regarding the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are increasingly common, food and beverages continue to be a major driver of solvent-based adhesive demand due to their performance and regulatory compliance in most applications. Although water-based and solvent-free adhesives are increasingly becoming attractive substitutes as environmentally friendly choices, their usage remains hindered by attributes of longer curing time and reduced bonding strength in some applications. Therefore, solvent-borne adhesives remain in a leading market position due to developments intended to mitigate VOC emissions as well as enhance sustainability.
By region, Insights into the markets in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and MEA are provided by the study. The Asia-Pacific region is the dominating position in the global world lamination adhesives market driven by rapid industrialization, skyrocketing packaging requirements, and high growth in prime end-use sectors such as food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and automotive. China, India, Japan, and South Korea have witnessed immense growth in flexible packaging due to increasing urbanization, increased disposable incomes, and changing consumer behaviours towards easy, lightweight, and environmentally friendly packaging solutions. The region's dominance by large packaging producers and adhesive manufacturers, along with effective production costs and availability of raw materials, also increases market dominance in the region.
In addition to being the largest market, Asia-Pacific is also the fastest-growing market in the lamination adhesives market. The growth is being fuelled by the e-commerce boom, growing food delivery business, and rising investments in industrial and infrastructure projects. Demand for high-performance lamination adhesives is also being fuelled by growing trends for green and solvent-free adhesive systems on the back of government policies to restrict volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. India and China are being positioned as major hubs of growth due to their emerging manufacturing industry as well as increasing focus on green packing solutions.
Though Europe and North America enjoy well-developed markets with high regulatory systems promoting sustainable adhesives, their growth is relatively slower than in the Asia-Pacific region. Latin America and Middle East & Africa are steadily growing driven by increasing investment in flexible packaging and industrial applications, but they are smaller markets compared to the Asia-Pacific region.
In December 2024, Dow reported the completion of its previously announced divestiture of the Company's flexible packaging laminating adhesives business, in Dow's Packaging & Specialty Plastics segment, to Arkema, a specialty materials leader, for $150 million.
In September 2023, DuPont officially opened its new adhesives manufacturing plant in Zhangjiagang (ZJG), East China. The new plant will manufacture adhesives to supply customers in the transportation sector, mainly in lightweighting and fast-growing vehicle electrification applications.
