The liquid adhesives market is projected to grow from USD 35.8 billion in 2020 to USD 44.6 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 4.5%, between 2020 and 2025. The liquid adhesives market depends heavily on the performance of paper, packaging & related products, building & construction, medical, assembly & other industries. Liquid adhesives have low viscosity. The wetting properties of these adhesives enable to hold the substrate so that molecular contact between the substrate and adhesive is activated.

The water-based segment is expected to hold the largest share of the overall liquid adhesives market during the forecast period.
Based on technology, the liquid adhesives market is segmented into water-based, solvent-based, and reactive & others. Based on chemistry, the water-based segment is segmented into acrylic polymer emulsion, vinyl acetate-ethylene emulsion, polyvinyl acetate emulsion, styrene-butadiene latex, polyurethane dispersions, and others. The solvent-based segment is classified into synthetic rubber, polyamide, and others. The reactive & others segment is segmented into polyurethane, epoxy, cyanoacrylate, methyl methacrylate, anaerobic, and silicone. Reactive liquid adhesive is the fastest growing technology segment in terms of volume and value, due to the increasing demand for high-grade liquid adhesives in the aerospace and automotive industries.

The liquid adhesives market in the paper, packaging & related products end-use industry is expected to hold the largest share during the forecast period.
Based on end-use industry, paper, packaging & related products is estimated to account for the largest share during the forecast period.
