Rising Focus on Low VOC Content to Revolutionize Spray Adhesive Manufacturing

The global spray adhesives market is estimated to exhibit a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2025, according to Grand View Research, Inc. Spray adhesives are specially formulated adhesives for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Spray glues, as they are popularly known, are extensively used in industrial verticals such as packaging, automotive interiors, and insulation drywall constructions.

Of late, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) revised its limits for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) content for web sprays and mist. It has also introduced Maximum Incremental Reactivity (MIR) limits on the same. This is compelling companies to develop products that comply with these limits. For instance, 3M Inc. is producing adhesives based on natural rubber compounds to meet the pressing demands for low VOC content. Recently, the company released a line of spray adhesives that is compliant with the CARB and Ozone Transport Commission’s VOC norms

The new range of six sprays, which includes a silicone spray, is designed to bond several different materials, such as laminates, plastics, papers, fabrics, woods, metals, and foam. These sprays come at a lower cost as compared to other curing technologies, such as urethanes or epoxies, and are highly flexible, which allows their use in some high demanding applications. Therefore, influx of innovative products with minimum impact on the environment can work in favor of the market.

Flourishing automotive sector in emerging economies is also likely to augment the growth of the global spray adhesives market. In emerging countries like India, where governments have initiated movements such as “Make in India” are likely to escalate manufacturing output of passenger and commercial vehicles. This, in turn, is anticipated to fuel the demand for spray adhesives in manufacturing of automotive interior components.

Asia Pacific is expected to maintain its dominance in the market throughout the forecast period. Robust growth of end-use industries such as automotive, packaging, and construction is contributing to the growth of the region. Some of the prominent companies operating in the market are Ashland Inc.; H.B. Fuller Company; BASF SE; Henkel AG & Co. KGaA; and Sika AG.
