Bio based Adhesives Market Overview

The Biobased Adhesives Market size is estimated to reach US$13.4 billion by 2030 after growing at a CAGR of 9.6% from 2024 to 2030. Biobased Adhesives are natural polymeric substances that act as adhesives performing similarly to synthetic alternatives and are also environment friendly. Biobased Adhesives are majorly used for biomedical applications which involve skin or other body tissue due its biomedical property. For instance, Collagen-based Biobased Adhesives are used for a variety of medical uses such as wound enclosure, by absorbing blood and coagulation products on its fibers, trapping them and thus effectively adhering to the wound. Petroleum-based synthetic adhesives emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are harmful to the environment as well as to human beings. Biobased Adhesives are thus preferred as they are produced from bio-based materials which emit low VOCs, this acts as a major driver for the market. Biobased Adhesives are used extensively in the healthcare industry for applications such as wound healing, as they are made of biological monomers and thus are safer to use. Asia-Pacific region is witnessing a fast growth in the Biobased Adhesives market due to increasing demand. For instance, chitosan-based Biobased Adhesives are in high demand due to its applications in biomedical, wood adhesives, adhesives for metallic surfaces and others, which will increase the growth of Biobased Adhesives industry in Asia-Pacific region in the forecast period. One of the key factors driving the chitosan demand in the Asia-Pacific region is the easy availability of its raw material, obtained as a waste product from the fishery industry.

A notable trend towards Biobased Adhesives made from renewable resources including plants, algae, and marine life is the growing awareness of environmental sustainability. Consumer demand for environmentally friendly products and laws encouraging the use of sustainable materials are the main drivers of this movement. Biobased Adhesives are appealing for a range of applications, such as packaging, building, and healthcare because they are less carbon-intensive and biodegradable than their synthetic counterparts. Improved bioadhesive manufacturing techniques and the discovery of new biomaterials are the results of ongoing biotechnology research and development. Bioengineered polymers and genetically modified proteins are two innovations that are improving the efficiency, adaptability, and affordability of bioadhesive formulations. These developments are pushing the use of Biobased Adhesives in a variety of industries by making it possible to create materials with qualities that are specifically suited to fulfill application needs.
