The Europe water-borne adhesive market is estimated to register at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of market is attributed to increasing demand of water-based adhesive as eco-friendly adhesives for the sealant and growing use of recycled plastic.

Craftsmen and contractors experimenting on the product innovation are actually challenging the limits of the manufacturers to perform trials on product developments.
The global water-borne adhesive market is estimated to expect a high surge in the demand during the projected period with the recent revolution in chemistry and formulation in creating high performance acrylic emulsion and binder offering the product to deliver durability and resistance from any uncertainty such as blocking, chemicals, water, and wear-and-tear resulting in boosting the demand of the product.
Water based adhesives are versatile in nature; it is an ideal product for non-porous and porous substrates creating a strong bonding between the products material to meet demanding application.
Water-borne adhesives in end-user industries such as footwear, and packaging are capturing the major share of the market. This adhesive form contains low VOC content and comes along with reduced health risks, which does not emits toxic fumes and odor.
With COVID-19 outbreak somehow it impacted positively for the industry and witnessed a demand surge for the application such as packaging and healthcare industry. On the other hand the lockdown extension and the strict regulation imposed by the government severally impacted the construction and building activities.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
