Solvent-based Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Market, Global Outlook and Forecast 2025-2032

MARKET OVERVIEW:

Global solvent-based pressure sensitive adhesive market was valued at USD 2.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2.8 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period.

MARKET INSIGHT & GROWTH DRIVERS:

2023

CAGR 2039

The market growth is driven by increasing gold mining activities, particularly in Asia-Pacific and Africa, where cyanide leaching remains the dominant extraction method. However, environmental concerns and stringent regulations pose challenges to market expansion.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Growing Demand from Electronics and Automotive Industries to Fuel Market Expansion

electronics sector's rapid growth is significantly driving demand for solvent-based pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs). These adhesives are increasingly used in smartphone displays, touch panels, and flexible printed circuits due to their excellent bonding strength and temperature resistance. With global electronics production valued at over $3 trillion annually, the need for high-performance adhesives continues to rise.

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Developing markets in Asia-Pacific and Latin America offer substantial growth potential for solvent-based PSAs. Rapid industrialization coupled with increasing automotive production in these regions is driving demand for high-performance adhesives. China and India alone account for over 35% of the global automotive production capacity expansion projects announced in 2023.

COMPANY MISSION

Innovations in green solvent technology present promising opportunities for market players. Several leading manufacturers have successfully commercialized bio-based solvents that meet stringent environmental standards while maintaining the performance characteristics of traditional formulations. These developments enable solvent-based PSAs to compete more effectively in sustainability-consciousmarkets.

REGIONAL MARKET OUTLOOK

North America

North American AFFF market is characterized by stringent environmental regulations and high adoption of advanced fire suppression technologies.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) gradual phase-out of PFAS-containing firefighting foams has accelerated demand for fluorinefree alternatives, creating both challenges and opportunities for manufacturers. Key end-users include oil & gas facilities, military bases, and commercial airports where fire safety standards are rigorously enforced. Despite regulatory headwinds

Europe

Europe leads in regulatory transition toward sustainable firefighting solutions owing to strict EU directives on PFAS restrictions under REACH regulations. The region's emphasis on green chemistry has spurred development of biodegradable foam concentrates, particularly in Scandinavia and Germany where environmental consciousness is highest. However, the transitional period creates complexity as end-users balance performance requirements with compliance deadlines.
