Press Releases

The global hot melt adhesives market was valued at USD 8.9 billion in 2023 and is expected to contribute revenue of USD 14.9 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period (2025–2030). The market is driven by factors such as growing demand in increasing disposable income of consumers in emerging economies such as China, India, and Indonesia, growing packaging industries, rapid industrialization, and a shift in technology used by automobile manufacturers for assembly.

Different types of hot melt adhesives such as styrenic block copolymers (SBC), polyamide (PA), polyurethane (PU), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), majorly contribute to the global market size. These adhesives are well suited for applications where long-lasting adhesion is required as it doesn’t get easily interfered by different environmental applications.

The different types of hot melt adhesives available in the market are SBC, PA, PU, EVA, amorphous poly-alphaolefin (APAO), polyester, and metallocene polyolefin (MPO). Of all, EVA held the largest share in the market with its market size valued at USD 6.2 Billion in 2023 and is set to reach USD 7.6 Billion by 2030. The growth of EVA segment is driven by its various benefits such as durability, quicker time setting, and suitability in a huge variety of temperatures.
