Reactive Hot Melt Adhesive Market Insights, Trends, Opportunity & Forecast (Includes Business Impact of COVID-19)

Reactive hot melt adhesive is an adhesive that combines hot melt and reactive adhesive. The reactive hot melt adhesive has advantages of simple application of hot melt adhesive such as rapid curing, high initial viscosity and also of the reactive adhesive such as high adhesive strength and heat resistance etc.

These offer various benefits such high tolerance to extreme temperature ranges, better adhesive properties in lesser quantity, easy applicability, faster curing time which results in high production rate, better durability, and strength etc.

Reactive hot melt adhesives are mainly used for assembly works and reinforcement of decorative edging. These adhesives further aid in joining of other materials with wooden surface and enhance the structural bonding of wood. Reactive hot melt adhesives find their applications in various end-user industries such as textile automotive, packaging, transportation, furniture, footwear, and others.

The global reactive hot melt adhesives market is anticipated to grow at a flourishing CAGR in the years to come.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The growth of this market is attributed towards major relying factors which include but are not limited to; the increasing demand and application of reactive hot melt adhesives in various end-use industries, the growth in the major end-use industries such the automotive, woodworking, and construction industries, the increasing replacement of other adhesive technologies by HMAs, the increasing high demand for HMAs in various DIY applications and the globally increasing technological advancements etc.

Moreover, plastics are uniquely suited currently for application in the automotive and transportation industries. Components and structural parts which are manufactured from plastics provide consistent high-performance levels in conditions that are unsuitable for metals and other materials. Automotive components, such as seatbacks, rear spoilers, instrumentation panels, and food handling equipment, are made from plastics. Thus, this demand from the automotive industry is increasingly projected to augment demand for plastic substrates in reactive hot melt adhesives which in turn is expected to comprehensively scale up the growth of the overall market.

Furthermore, factors such as the superior properties of reactive hot melt adhesives than traditional adhesives, changing lifestyle and surge in demand for convenient and packaged food products among consumers leading to growth in the packaging industry, growing infrastructural activities and residential construction in the emerging economies, global shift toward VOC-free products, high strength, and lesser curing time adhesives driving the need for developing new products which meet environmental standards and consumer requirements and the increasing use of HMAs in road marking application will further expand the growth of this market.

However, the high curing time of reactive hot melt adhesives as compared to other technologies hinder the growth of this market.
