Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives Market Outlook (2023-2033)

The global pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA) market is estimated to be valued at US$ 60.2 billion in 2023 and it is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% to reach US$ 105.7 billion by the end of 2033.

The pressure-sensitive adhesives, which are non-reactive self-adhesives, when applied pressure bond with the various substrates. Due to its high viscosity, it attracts and holds onto wet surfaces when it comes into contact.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive's ability to bind solely relies on its polar attraction to a substrate's surface. The adhesive can be activated without the use of heat, solvent, or water. The packaging, consumer electronics, automotive, and construction industries all use it extensively.

Historic and Future Path for Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives Market

With the growing demand for electronic devices in response to their miniaturization the pressure-sensitive adhesives market is expanding dramatically. Additionally, the primary driver of the market's growth is the increasing demand for lightweight vehicles, which leads to an increase in automotive production.

Additionally, it is estimated that the market will experience growth in forthcoming years due to the expanding use of sensitive adhesives in tapes and labels as well as their widespread acceptance due to their ease of adaptability.

  • Short Term (2023-2026): Growing demand for flexible packaging from various end-use industries is likely to drive the PSA market during the short term.
  • Medium Term (2026-2029): Rising e-commerce industry across developed as well as developing countries to create a positive environment for the growth of pressure-sensitive adhesives.
  • Long Term (2029-2033): Product innovation coupled with business expansion across untapped markets to meet the end-user’s requirement is likely to drive the PSA market growth in the long run.

Market Dynamics Overview

“Growing Packaging Industry to Supplement PSA Market Growth”

The growing packaging industry creates high opportunities for the PSA market. Packaging is the process of creating a package for a consumer good. Packaging enables end-users to differentiate their brands and makes it effortless for consumers to identify their products.

Growing consumer demand for packaged goods as a result of changing dietary preferences and altering lifestyles may have a critical impact on the packaging market. Further, owing to their high barrier properties, shelf lives, and consumer safety, products will be in greater demand as the population and per capita income rise.

Hence, due to such factors, the packaging industry is anticipated to grow at a prominent growth rate, and mushrooming packaging industry paves the way for the PSA market growth over the forecast period.

“Government Strict Rules to Hamper Market Growth”

A class of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is capable of vaporizing into the atmosphere. In some PSA materials VOCs are present which are harmful to health as they cause nose, and throat irritation, eye, headaches, nausea, and loss of coordination. They can also cause damage to the kidneys, central nervous system, and liver. Among VOCs, some are inferred or verified as carcinogens.

Hence, to prevent harm to the ozone layer and check health hazards due to VOCs governments across both developed as well as developing economies imposed rules and regulations over the use of materials containing or emitting VOCs. On the back of the aforementioned facts, the PSA market is estimated to witness certain challenges during the forecast period.
