Any substance that is applied to the material surface for binding them together is known as an adhesive. Adhesives used for industrial purposes are industrial adhesives. The first industrial adhesive came into use with the establishment of the first ever glue plant in 1690 in Holland. Pigments, fillers, plasticizers, and other additives are mixed with the base materials such as natural rubber, starch, synthetic polymer, polyvinyl acetate, and neoprene to form industrial adhesives. Adhesives offer huge advantages to industrial works by fixing materials of different shapes and sizes. Industrial adhesives also provide resistance from corrosion with the reduction in the weight of products. Natural polymers and synthetic polymers are the main raw materials for industrial adhesives.

Industrial Adhesives Market Growth Factors
The rapidly growing packaging, automotive, infrastructure construction, and woodworking are the driving factors for the growth of the industrial adhesives market. Technological advancement for better industrial adhesive products will also drive the market for industrial adhesives in the coming years. Technological advancement is also likely to influence the cost of industrial adhesive products. Government regulations regarding the production of products with less VOC (Volatile organic compounds) content hamper the growth of the industrial adhesives market. The fluctuating raw material prices of industrial adhesives also hinder market growth. Another restraining factor for the growth of industrial adhesives includes the huge investment required for the R&D of new products containing less VOC content. The sudden demand for lightweight vehicles that emit less VOC content is a major opportunity for industrial adhesives in the coming years.
