Bioadhesives Global Market Report 2024

Bioadhesives are natural polymers derived from bio-based raw materials, designed to bond two surfaces together. This phenomenon involves the adherence of synthetic and natural materials to biological surfaces. Bioadhesives find applications as adhesive materials in various artificial contexts. Not only are bioadhesives cost-effective and easier to manufacture, but they also possess the potential to replace synthetic adhesives.

The primary types of bioadhesives include plant-based and animal-based variants. Plant-based bioadhesives are produced from plant sources and are utilized for properties such as matrix formation and environmental applications. These adhesives can be manufactured through methods like direct chemical synthesis, bacteria and yeast fermentation, and natural organism farming. Plant-based bioadhesives find applications across diverse industries, including packaging, paper and pulp, construction, personal care, healthcare, and others.

The bioadhesives market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.04 billion in 2023 to $5.62 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%. The growth observed during the historic period in the bioadhesives industry can be attributed to heightened environmental awareness, the implementation of stringent regulations, increased demand for biodegradable products, considerations for health and safety, and the expansion of the pharmaceutical and medical industries.

The bioadhesives market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.58 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period for the bioadhesives industry can be attributed to a surge in investment in renewable resources, the expansion of the packaging sector, a thriving construction industry, and overall economic growth. Key trends expected during this period include the utilization of natural and bioengineered polymers, the integration of 3D printing technologies, the development of nano-bioadhesives, and increased emphasis on partnerships and collaborations within the industry. These trends reflect the evolving landscape of bioadhesives, driven by advancements in technology, sustainable practices, and collaborative initiatives.

Governmental regulations and policies aimed at controlling environmental pollution are playing a significant role in driving the growth of the bioadhesives market. Governments worldwide are increasingly prioritizing measures to mitigate the adverse effects of pollution on public health and the environment. This has led to the implementation of stringent regulations to control air pollution, fostering a heightened demand for the utilization of bio-based materials such as bioadhesives. A notable example is observed in the United Kingdom, where the government, in March 2022, set additional goals under the Environment Act 2021. These goals included a legally obligatory target to reduce fine particulate matter (PM2.5) levels to 10 micrograms per cubic meter (g/m3) by 2040, with a focus on decreasing population exposure to PM2.5 by 35% compared to 2018 levels.

The growth of the bioadhesives market is further bolstered by the expanding construction industry, which is increasingly embracing sustainable practices. The construction sector, encompassing various activities related to planning, design, construction, renovation, and maintenance, is witnessing a shift towards green building practices. Builders and developers are actively seeking sustainable solutions, and bioadhesives align with these environmentally conscious principles. The Office for National Statistics reported in February 2022 that the UK's construction sector experienced a record 12.7% annual growth in 2021, indicating a substantial rise in construction activities. The industry's focus on new work and repair and maintenance, coupled with an increased volume of monthly construction output, highlights the growing adoption of sustainable practices in the construction sector.

In the bioadhesives market, strategic partnerships and collaborations have emerged as key trends. Major players in the bioadhesives sector are proactively engaging in partnerships to strengthen their positions and drive innovation. For instance, in March 2021, Technol, a UK-based clean technology company, formed a strategic partnership with Beardow Adams, a UK-based bioadhesives manufacturer, with the aim of offering sustainable packaging solutions. This collaboration demonstrates a commitment to providing environmentally friendly alternatives in the packaging industry. Additionally, in January 2021, Bemis Associates, a US-based manufacturer, partnered with DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products to launch the world's first SewFree product made from renewable materials, contributing to advancements in sustainable and bio-based adhesives.

Major players in the bioadhesive market are actively innovating by developing new products, particularly focusing on bio-compatible adhesives. Bio-compatible adhesives are specialized bonding agents formulated to be safe and compatible with biological systems, primarily targeted at medical and healthcare applications. An example of this innovation is observed in the launch of Swift Melt 1515-I by H.B. Fuller, a prominent US-based adhesive manufacturing company, in January 2023. This product stands out for its robust and rapid bonding capabilities, maintaining strong adhesion even under elevated temperatures and demonstrating impressive shear resistance. Swift Melt 1515-I has received ISO 10993-5 certification for cytotoxicity, ensuring its non-toxicity to human cells. This feature makes it well-suited for medical applications, especially in hospital settings and home care, where skin adhesion is a crucial consideration.

In August 2021, Arkema, a leading chemicals company based in France, made a strategic move by acquiring Ashland's performance adhesives business, emphasizing sustainable and high-performance solutions. The acquisition, executed for an undisclosed amount, aligns with Arkema's goal to transition into a pure specialty materials player by 2024. Ashland, the US-based chemical company that Arkema acquired, has been a significant player in manufacturing bioadhesives. This acquisition positions Arkema to strengthen its portfolio and expertise in the bioadhesive market, showcasing the industry's focus on sustainable and advanced solutions.
