Global Adhesive Film market is anticipated to grow significantly through 2028 due to the increasing demand from electronics industry. In 2022, Australia revenue in the Electronics segment is projected to reach USD 6.06 Billion.

Global Adhesive Film market is expected to expand during the projected period due to increasing demand from electronic sector as it provide excellent bonding performance and superior impact resistance to various products. Film adhesives are solid sheets of thermoplastic or partially cured (B-staged) thermosetting polymers that can be cut to size and are generally used to attach large-area components, substrates, and lids. These days, it is impossible to conceive lighting applications without adhesive films since they are essential to production and assembly operations. LED light strips are widely used for domestic, professional, and industrial market use. These sticky films are resistant to extreme weather as well. The fact that they continue to be waterproof is their main benefit since water entering through an electric unit from rain or snow might result in fire dangers. These applications increasing the demand of adhesive film which anticipate the market’s growth. Furthermore, the increasing demand of adhesive film from construction sector particularly in the manufacturing of building materials such as windows, doors, and insulation as they offer excellent bonding strength, weather resistance, and durability. Adhesive films are used for bonding various materials together, including glass, plastic, and metal. Moreover, adhesive film also used in packaging, medical and aerospace industry which propel the market’s growth.

For instance, Adezif produce Adezif PE100 adhesive polyethylene protective film for construction industry & public work industry such as protection of rough surfaces cement, concrete, and bricks, protection of manhole covers.

Increasing demand from the Electronics sector

Adhesive films are use in consumer electronics sector where they provide excellent bonding performance and superior impact resistance to various products such as bonding internal and external components, electronic corrosion prevention, surface protection, decorative trim and logo mounting, internal insulation, high temperature resistant masking, thermal management, and  prevention from dirt and debris resulting in the growth of market.

For instance, Henkel Adhesives Technologies produces the adhesive film for consumer electronics used in various products such as smartphone, tablets, smart watches, storage and graphics chips and smart home appliances.

Additionally, in the automobile industry, adhesive films like tapes and protective films are frequently used to facilitate joining processes and protect several vehicle elements, including door panels, roofs, seats, dashboards, and external bodywork components.

For instance, according to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, the percentage of hybrid electric vehicles sold in 2020 was 11.9%, up from 5.7% in 2019.

Furthermore, for instance, according to data from the India Brand Equity Foundation, India's car sector grew to become the fifth largest in 2020, with 3.49 million units sold across the commercial and passenger vehicle segments.

Adhesive films are lightweight and flexible, which makes them an ideal choice for various applications where weight and flexibility are critical factors. As the growing demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles increases the demand of adhesive film for various purposes such as sealing, laminating, and bonding.

The widespread need for vehicles will increase the use of adhesive films, which will fuel market expansion over the projected period.

Aerospace Vertical will Continue to Boost Revenue

When designing aircraft such that they are stunning to look at, the aerospace industry mainly relies on the use of adhesive films. Additionally, fleets and maintenance are performed on military aircraft on an ever-increasing basis. In the exterior, interior, and engine compartments of aircraft, which include the overhead bins, convenient seat trays, and similar items, adhesive films are present. Thus, the Global Adhesive Film market is anticipated to witness substantial growth in the upcoming years.

For instance, Henkel Adhesives Technologies produce high-reliability film adhesive solutions for aerospace electronics in planes, helicopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) including engines, turbines, sensors, guidance systems, and navigation systems.

High Demand for Tapes By The Medical Industry

Film adhesive is widely used in the medical industry in ultrasound and mammography equipment, x-ray and blood monitoring equipment, PET/CT and MRI scanners, and bone densitometers. Adhesives films are also used in the wound care solution such as Medical adhesive tape, or surgical tape, is used to attach bandages, gauze, and other dressings to the skin around wounds, along with this providing patients with packaged food requires sturdy packaging, which calls for a productive adhesive film industry.

For instance, The Strouse Corporation produce medical adhesive tape such as micropore paper tape and transpore polyethylene tape for urgent need, zinc oxide tape and durable cloth tape for athletics.

Additionally, the packaging industry has the high demand of adhesive film this is due to increasing demand from food packaging and e-commerce industry. Primarily, fruits & vegetables such as apples, oranges, strawberries, tomatoes, as well as eggs are packaged using the adequate packaging material for both imports and exports. It aids in controlling fruit respiration and maintaining ethylene density, which slows down the ripening process. Consequently, this contributes higher shelf life to fruits and vegetables.

For instance, Ecoplast Ltd produce Ecobond adhesive film used in the food industry for packaging of canned food and frozen products.   

Furthermore, increasing trend of e-commerce increases the growth of safe and secure packaging. As the supply of different products from the source to the consumer end require special type of packaging which help to protect product from damage. Along with this, the demands of adhesives for tamper-resistant seals and return ready packaging in the e-commerce industry increases. Thus, use of polymer-based packaging material increases which result in increasing demand of adhesive film.

For instance, Bostik produce Kizen and TLH 9100 E used as smart adhesives for e-commerce packaging.

All these factors led to the growth of Global Adhesive market in the upcoming years.

However, many polymeric material are used in the production of adhesive film such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride and these are petroleum-based material whose prices are fluctuating due to the volatility in petroleum prices, as a result, the manufacturers of adhesive films face difficulties in maintaining the stability of their product prices, which can ultimately affect their profitability and implementation of stringent regulatory policies on volatile organic compounds (VOC) are limiting the market growth. Also, high manufacturing cost and an increase in the complexity of film production on account of the customization of the product is estimated to sluggish growth. Moreover, available of alternative substitutes which are new and advanced materials, such as nanomaterials, graphene, and carbon fiber, the demand for traditional adhesive films may decrease. Along with this, the rising trend of sustainable and eco-friendly products can also impact the growth of the adhesive film market, as consumers prefer products that have minimal environmental impact.

For instance, T Pack produce paper adhesive tape which was an ecological alternative to film adhesive tapes.

In addition, the transportation of adhesive films requires special handling and packaging, and any mishandling during transportation can damage the products, affecting their quality and performance. Furthermore, the growing trend of just-in-time manufacturing and supply chain management practices can also create challenges, as manufacturers must ensure timely delivery of their products to meet the demand of their customers restraint the growth of the market.
