Europe Acrylic Adhesive Market by Technologies (Water-based, Solvent-based, Reactive, and Others), End-user Industries (Packaging, Building & Construction, Transportation, Electrical & Electronics, Sporting Goods, Woodworking, and Others), and Geography (Germany, UK, France, Italy, Spain, and Rest of Europe) - Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2021 – 2028

The Europe acrylic adhesive market size is estimated to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising adoption of acrylic adhesives in the construction, automotive, and pharmaceutical industry.

Acrylic adhesives are resin-based acrylic or methylacrylic polymers. The strength of acrylic adhesives depends on various crucial parameters, such as cohesion and adhesion. These adhesives are used to bond different materials, including ceramics, wood, metals, plastics, rubber, and glass. Acrylic adhesives are available in syrupy form, which are either colorless or slightly colored. These are obtained from monomeric esters or solutions of polyacrylates with the help of a catalyst.

Adhesion is used to measure the ability of the adhesive to stick to another object, whereas the cohesion parameter is used to check ability of the adhesive to stick to itself. There are different types of acrylic adhesives available, such as acrylic polymer emulsion and cyanoacrylic. These adhesives exhibit properties such as quick bonding with different materials, excellent environmental resistance, and fast-setting time.
