The pressure-sensitive adhesive market continues to expand, and the industry needs to continue to upgrade in the direction of high-end

Pressure-sensitive adhesive, also known as pressure-sensitive adhesive, also known as self-adhesive and pressure-sensitive adhesive, refers to a viscoelastic body that has both liquid viscosity characteristics and solid elasticity characteristics. Pressure-sensitive adhesive has the advantages of non-toxic, non-polluting, strong adhesion, good pressure sensitivity, good oil resistance, strong aging resistance, and stable performance. It is mainly used in packaging, building materials, chemical industry, machinery, transportation, electronics, and medical care. , aviation and other fields.

There are various types of pressure-sensitive adhesives. According to different materials, they can be divided into elastomer pressure-sensitive adhesives including natural rubber, synthetic rubber, thermoplastic elastomer pressure-sensitive adhesives, etc., and acrylic, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride pressure-sensitive adhesives, etc. Resin-based pressure-sensitive adhesives including; according to different forms, they can be divided into solvent-based, emulsion-based, hot-melt, and aqueous solution-based pressure-sensitive adhesives; according to different polymer cross-linking conditions, they can be divided into cross-linked and non-cross-linked Type pressure sensitive adhesive. Among them, rubber-type pressure-sensitive adhesive, hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive and acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive are the mainstream products in the current pressure-sensitive adhesive market.

Under the current background of rapid development of the national economy, the rapid development of packaging, building materials, medical and other fields has driven the domestic pressure-sensitive adhesive market demand to continue to increase and the scale to continue to expand. According to the “China Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) Industry Application Market Demand and Development Opportunities Research Report 2022-2026” released by the Industrial Research Center Shows that the domestic pressure-sensitive adhesive market size has reached 16.55 billion yuan in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 7.2%.

From the perspective of subcategories, hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive is one of the important subcategories of pressure-sensitive adhesives. Its market sales in 2021 will be approximately 469,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 13.2%. Among them, packaging labels and fiber processing are the two largest application areas of hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesives in my country, accounting for 46% and 39% respectively. Specifically, in the field of packaging and labeling, hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesives are mainly used in express delivery, logistics packaging application scenarios, and label manufacturing scenarios such as coated paper labels and tire labels; in the field of fiber processing, they are mainly used in medical consumables, construction Manufacturing scenarios such as waterproof materials.

After development in recent years, my country’s pressure-sensitive adhesive industry has entered a stage of rapid development, and the domestic market has a high level of localization. At present, the main pressure-sensitive adhesive companies in my country include Kangdexin, Yongda, Shanghai Jinghua, Xinlun Technology, Hengshan Jiacheng, Suzhou Deyou, Silicon Bao Technology, etc. However, as the downstream application market continues to upgrade its quality and performance requirements for pressure-sensitive adhesive products, the pressure-sensitive adhesive industry is gradually upgrading in a high-end direction. Currently, a variety of new high-end pressure-sensitive adhesive categories with higher product added value have appeared on the market.

Industry analysts said that due to the high technical level of new high-end pressure-sensitive adhesive products, the domestic market is currently mainly dominated by 3M and BASF , Henkel, Fuller, DowDuPont and other leading international companies dominate the market, and the level of localization is low. In the future, as local companies accelerate their efforts to conquer related technologies, the localization level of the domestic high-end pressure-sensitive adhesive market is expected to continue to improve, and the industry has broad prospects for development.
