Pressure Sensitive Adhesives Market by Technology, Application & Geography to 2018



Increasing need for weight reduction of end-user products, high bonding solutions, sustainable developments, growing tapes demand, rising GDP, purchasing power, will drive the global pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) market to $8.4 billion by 2018. India and China leads the world in terms of usage of PSA due to heavy industrialization in these countries, which makes it the biggest market for adhesives. The market here is expected to experience highest revenue growth during the next five years.

The factors driving growth in the PSA market are rising applications, current & emerging applications, and increase in tapes and labels demand. In addition, the demand for PSA in applications such as RFID, clean room label, etc. is also high. The factors hindering the growth of this market are the fluctuating cost of raw materials, lack of technology infrastructure in developing countries, and huge investment in R&D.


The market is growing slowly in Europe and will continue to grow at significant rate in the Asia-Pacific region. Asia-Pacific region’s demand is driven by the countries such as China, the fastest growing country in global PSA market. The PSA market is still in infancy stage in African markets.
