Global Lamination Adhesives for Flexible Packaging Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Lamination Adhesives for Flexible Packaging market size is expected to reach $ 6769 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 4.6% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Laminating adhesive is an adhesive specifically used in the lamination process. Its main function is to tightly combine two or more materials by bonding to form a composite material with specific functions. This adhesive can be used for the lamination of various materials, such as paper, polyester film, polyethylene film, metal foil, fabric, etc., as well as different combinations of these materials, such as paper/film, film/film, paper/foil, etc. The strength of laminating adhesive depends on the combination of its cohesive strength and adhesive strength, where the cohesive strength is affected by Tg (glass transition temperature) and elongation, while the adhesive strength is affected by wetting and interfacial bonding.
There are various types of laminating adhesives, which can be subdivided into water-based composite adhesives, solvent-free composite adhesives, and solvent-based composite adhesives according to product types. These different types of adhesives have their own characteristics and application scenarios. For example, water-based laminating adhesives are favored for their environmental friendliness and good bonding properties. The market demand for laminating adhesives mainly comes from multiple terminal application fields, including flexible packaging, industry, and automobiles. In the field of flexible packaging, laminating adhesives are widely used in food packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, etc. to meet specific requirements for barrier properties, freshness preservation properties, etc. In addition, with the improvement of environmental awareness and the increasing demand for sustainable development, environmentally friendly and degradable laminating adhesives have gradually become the new favorite of the market.
The industry is undergoing a structural shift toward environmentally safer and more sustainable adhesive technologies. Increasing global restrictions on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the demand for packaging materials that support circular economy goals are encouraging the adoption of water-based and solvent-free adhesives. Additionally, there's growing interest in bio-based adhesive formulations that reduce dependency on fossil resources.
As packaging becomes more functional—offering features like aroma retention, oxygen/moisture barriers, or temperature resistance—the demand for high-performance adhesives is rising. These adhesives must maintain bond strength under challenging conditions (freezing, retort sterilization, microwave heating), and allow for high-speed lamination without compromising quality. This trend supports the use of two-component polyurethane systems and innovative curing technologies.
Flexible packaging continues to replace rigid packaging in many sectors due to advantages such as lighter weight, lower material usage, extended shelf life, and convenient handling. This shift is especially strong in emerging markets, where demand for packaged food, pharmaceuticals, and e-commerce-ready packaging is surging. Lamination adhesives benefit directly from this trend, as they are essential to the conversion of raw film materials into value-added packaging formats.
Global Lamination Adhesives for Flexible Packaging includes Henkel, H.B. Fuller, Arkema, etc. Global top 5 companies hold a share over 38%. These companies have performed well in technology research and development, product innovation, market expansion, etc., and have promoted the rapid development of the entire industry. At the same time, as market demand continues to change and upgrade, companies are also constantly adjusting and optimizing product structure to meet the diverse needs of customers.
