The anticipated surge in demand for UV adhesives in the electronic industry is poised to drive the growth of the UV adhesives market. The electronic industry, encompassing the design, development, manufacturing, and distribution of electronic components, devices, and systems, benefits from the exceptional precision offered by UV adhesives in joining various components. This ensures reliable and long-lasting performance across a diverse range of electronic devices. For instance, LG, a South Korea-based consumer electronics company, reported its highest annual revenue ever in January 2023, with an increase of 12.9% from 2021, exceeding $52.7 billion in sales. The revenue for LG's Home Appliance & Air Solution Company in 2022 reached $22.5 billion, marking a 10.3% increase from the previous year. Consequently, the escalating demand for UV adhesives in the electronic industry is propelling the UV adhesives market's growth.

The expansion in automotive manufacturing is expected to be a significant driver for the UV adhesives market. The automotive industry, covering the design, development, production, and maintenance of motor vehicles, utilizes UV adhesives for their rapid curing properties. This enhances manufacturing efficiency by bonding components, reducing production time, and delivering robust and durable bonds crucial for vehicle safety and longevity. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), there were 85.4 million automotive vehicles produced worldwide in 2022, marking a 5.7% increase from 2021. Additionally, the International Energy Agency reported in September 2022 that electric car sales set a new high in 2021, increasing by four percent to reach 6.6 million, contributing to the total of 16.5 million electric vehicles on the road. Hence, the growth in automotive manufacturing is fostering the UV adhesives market.

The surge in raw material prices is anticipated to pose a challenge to the UV adhesives market's growth. Elevated raw material prices can result in higher production costs, potentially limiting the affordability and accessibility of UV adhesives. Key raw materials such as epoxy, acrylic monomers, and photoinitiators have experienced significant price increases in recent years, impacting overall production costs. For example, Qingdao Echemi Digital Technology Co. Ltd., a China-based B2B digital commerce platform, reported an approximately 100 yen per kg increase in bisphenol A type and F type epoxy resin in June 2021, reaching around 5822 CNY per ton. Consequently, the increase in raw material prices is restraining the growth of the UV adhesives market.

Leading companies in the UV adhesives market are strategically focusing on introducing specialized one-step UV cure epoxy adhesives to gain a competitive advantage. Specialized one-step UV cure epoxy adhesives combine the benefits of epoxy adhesive properties with UV curing technology in a single step. They offer rapid curing when exposed to UV light, creating a strong and durable bond suitable for applications requiring quick, reliable bonding. In July 2023, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA introduced Loctite Ablestik NCA 01UV, a one-step cure active alignment UV adhesive that cures in a single step with just three seconds of UV LED light exposure. This eliminates the need for oven curing, saving time, energy, and reducing CO2 emissions. The adhesive is designed for high-resolution advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) cameras and lidar modules, making it an ideal solution for the automotive industry.

In July 2022, Arkema acquired Permoseal Ltd., a South African-based chemical company, for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move is expected to reinforce Arkema's position in the South African adhesives market and expand its range of adhesive solutions. Permoseal Ltd. specializes in offering a variety of UV light-curable glues and UV adhesives for different applications and industries.
