South America Laminating Adhesives Market Segment
Analysis – By Type
Solvent-based adhesives segment held the largest
share of 36% in the South America laminating adhesives market in the year 2020.
Solvent-based adhesives offer
advantages such as high bond strength, lower emission and lesser cure time.
This has led to the adoption of solvent-based adhesives or laminating adhesives
in various applications. The increased demand from food packaging industry is
highly driving the solvent-based laminating adhesives. According to the United
States Department of Agriculture, the total value of food processing industry
in Brazil stood at US$177 billion in the year 2019, an increase of 7% as
compared to the previous year. This is contributing to
the demand for food packaging industry, which in turn is driving the demand for
solvent based segment in the South America laminating adhesives market.
South America Laminating Adhesives Market Segment Analysis – By Resin Type
Polyurethane
segment held the largest share of 42% in the South America laminating adhesives
market in the year 2020. Polyurethane adhesives are stronger than water-based
and hot melt adhesives. It forms bonds quickly and takes lesser time to cure. Polyurethane
are very flexible, durable, and provide good impact resistance. Polyurethane
adhesives are compatible in a wide range of temperature and has excellent
resistance to high temperature. Polyurethane adhesives are also highly
resistant to chemicals and works well under any contact of chemicals. Polyurethane
adhesives are also waterproof and cures faster than other types of resin based
adhesives like epoxy in situations where there is contact of water. This is
highly driving the polyurethane adhesives segment in the South America laminating
adhesives market.
South America Laminating Adhesives Market Segment Analysis – By Product
Tape adhesives
segment held the largest share of 32% in the South America laminating adhesives
market in the year 2020. Tape adhesives are being used as an alternative for
fasteners, screws, and in welding. Tape adhesives have polyvinyl acetate which
helps in facilitating better adhesion and provides glue properties. Tape
adhesives offer structural strength, which is one of the main reasons why it
can replace bolts, rivets, and other mechanical fasteners. Tape adhesives help
in enabling lower temperature applications which aid in simplifying the
manufacturing processes. Tape adhesives have extensive applications in various
areas such as building & construction, medical & healthcare,
automobile, electrical & electronics and aerospace and others, which is
hugely driving the South America laminating adhesives market.
South America Laminating Adhesives Market Segment Analysis – By End-Use Industry
Packaging industry held the largest share of 34% in the South America laminating
adhesives market in the year 2020. The increase in the application of solvent-based adhesives
or laminating adhesives in the packaging industry is highly driving the South
America laminating adhesives market. The increase in the use of packed foods
and other items in the South America region is hugely driving the South America
laminating adhesives market, as solvent-based
