KONSTANZ, Germany - Adhesives have gained a strong position in more and more production processes. There is hardly any product in our surroundings that does not contain at least one adhesive - be it the label on a beverage bottle, the protective film on an automobile or the profile on window frames.
Market researchers from Ceresana expect revenue of almost $50 billion for the global adhesives market in 2019. Dynamic economic development in emerging countries such as China, India, Russia and Brazil will stimulate further growth in demand for adhesives. The market research institution expects demand to rise by 2.9 percent per annum in the next eight years, meaning that growth will accelerate when compared to the last eight years.
