Market Overview:
UV-curing
adhesive is particularly suitable to produce glassware, glass furniture and
acrylic glass, as well as for products in the optical industry and in medical
technology. Loctite provides UV-adhesive with medical clearance especially for
this purpose. Owing to the efficacy the
UV Adhesives demonstrates, it is widely used across a diverse range of
industrial sectors. Based on the industries and its use, UV Adhesives have been
bifurcated such as Epoxy, Acrylic, Cyanoacrylate, Silicone and Polyurethane. Moreover,
recent trends favouring the use of UV adhesives in medical & pharmaceutical
and electronics sector is expected to drive the global UV Adhesive market.

However,
lower profit margins due to the usage of high-cost chemicals and lack of
awareness of UV Adhesives among consumer in developing countries may restrain
the market in future. Also, the bargaining power of the supplier is very high
for UV adhesives as there are less number of suppliers available in the market.
This also impacts the bargaining power of the buyers to be low. Generally,
manufacturers of UV adhesives are in monthly contract with raw material
suppliers of UV adhesives due to high cost of raw chemical and fluctuation in
its price.

Industry/ Innovation/ Related News:
November 2016 – H. B. fuller has launched two new
Water-Based Adhesives, containing a UV fluorescing agent, developed to
help corrugators who are investing to achieve zero defects in their production
lines. The new product launch would help H.B. fuller to attract the consumer
and hence increase its market share.
August 2016 – Panasonic Corporation announced
that it has developed a "Time-lagged UV Curing Adhesive (Fine Glue)"
suitable for gluing and assembly of mobile device housings and panels, and will
start mass-producing it in September 2016. This liquid material cures after a
certain amount of time following exposure to UV irradiation, making it easier
to carry out the assembly process and rendering it possible to attach a
UV-protection (UV-proof) panel after irradiation. As this new adhesive
can be applied in a thin width and thick layer, it is suitable for mobile
devices that have limited space for adding adhesive.
July 2017 – Vitralit® UC 6686 is a newly
developed light curable epoxy adhesive from manufacturer Panacol lloking at the
growing demand of UV adhesives in the market. Upon exposure to ultraviolet
light, it cures in seconds to form a crystal clear, extremely hard, scratch
resistant surface perfect for dome coatings and for decorating glass and
plastics. The acquisition has been done in order to expand the UV operation in
Hong Kong in order to address the forthcoming demand.
February 2017 – Innovative
Chemical Products (the ICP Group) announced the acquisition of MinusNine
Technologies, a leading formulator and manufacturer of UV/EB coatings,
adhesives, primers and specialty products for graphic arts and industrial
applications. MinusNine, headquartered in Birdsboro, PA, will be integrated
into ICP Industrial, Inc., one of the three divisions of the ICP Group. The acquisition has been done in
order to address the forthcoming demand.
April 2015 – Henkel has agreed to acquire
Novamelt GmbH, a privately owned German company that offers a wide range of
hotmelt pressure sensitive UV adhesives based on thermoplastic rubber under the
brand name Novamelt PS. With this transaction Henkel as leading solution
provider worldwide for adhesives, sealants and functional coatings will further
enhance its competence in the area of hotmelt adhesives.
November 2017 – Covestro
has begun operations at a new production facility for aqueous polyurethane
dispersions (PUDs) at its Dormagen site. Along with a current expansion of
production in Barcelona, the company is thus boosting its capacities in Europe
significantly. In order to meet global demand, Covestro is also building a new
facility in China, as well as planning to resume production in the United
States and at the same time modernizing and expanding facilities there.
Regional Analysis
Geographically, Asia Pacific region accounted
largest market share in the Uv Adhesive Industry and expected to
dominate during the forecast period due to growing economies in the region,
rise in in medical &
pharmaceutical and electronics sector in the region. China being largest consumer and manufacturer of
UV Adhesives. Growing demand in glass bonding, electronics, packaging &
laminating and industrial application in the country is expected to drive the
UV Adhesive market in China. In addition to this, North America & Europe have witnessed healthy growth owing to rising
packaging & laminating and industrial sector with increasing demand of
epoxy and acrylic based UV adhesives in the region.
