Description

The global Corrugated Adhesive market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1457 million in 2025 to US$ 2097 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2025 to 2031.

The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.

Corrugated adhesives refers to specialized glues used in the manufacturing of corrugated fiberboard, which is commonly employed in packaging applications. These adhesives bond the fluted (corrugated) medium to the linerboard, ensuring structural integrity and durability of the final product. The most prevalent type is starch-based adhesive, favored for its cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and strong bonding capabilities. Other types include synthetic adhesives and sodium silicate-based adhesives, chosen based on specific performance requirements such as water resistance or bonding strength.

Market Development Overview:

As an important auxiliary material in the packaging industry, Corrugated Adhesive is widely used in the bonding of cartons, paper boxes, labels and other products. In recent years, with the rapid development of e-commerce, logistics and consumer goods industries, the demand for corrugated paper packaging has continued to grow, driving the expansion of the adhesive market. The global corrugated paper adhesive market size has steadily increased, and the market size is expected to exceed US$5 billion in 2023, and will maintain an average annual growth rate of 5%-7% in the next few years. The promotion of environmental protection policies and the rise of green packaging trends have prompted environmentally friendly products such as water-based adhesives and hot melt adhesives to gradually increase their market share, replacing traditional solvent-based adhesives. In addition, the popularization of automated production equipment has also improved the efficiency of adhesive use, further promoting market development.

Regional Analysis:

From a global market perspective, the Asia-Pacific region is the main consumer market for Corrugated Adhesive, especially China, India and Southeast Asian countries. Due to the prosperity of manufacturing and e-commerce, there is a strong demand for corrugated paper packaging, which has driven the growth of the adhesive industry. The North American and European markets are mature and demand is stable, but due to strict environmental regulations, companies prefer to use low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) water-based adhesives and bio-based adhesives.

Price analysis:

The price of Corrugated Adhesive is greatly affected by raw material costs, supply and demand, and policy factors. The main raw materials include acrylic acid, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), petroleum resin, etc., and their price fluctuations will directly affect the pricing of adhesive products. In 2022-2023, affected by the fluctuations in international crude oil prices and tight supply chains, the prices of some adhesive raw materials will rise, resulting in a slight increase in the price of adhesive products.

Market development opportunities:

The rapid development of global e-commerce has driven the demand for corrugated paper packaging, which in turn has driven the growth of the adhesive market. Governments of various countries have tightened restrictions on VOC emissions, promoting the research and development and application of environmentally friendly products such as water-based adhesives and bio-based adhesives. The research and development of new high-performance adhesives (such as low-temperature hot melt adhesives and degradable adhesives) provides a new growth point for the market. The manufacturing and retail industries in Southeast Asia, Africa and other regions are developing rapidly, and the adhesive market is expected to expand further in the future.

Market risks and challenges:

The price of petroleum-based raw materials is greatly affected by the international situation, which may increase production costs. Although environmental protection policies promote industry upgrades, they may also increase the compliance costs of enterprises, especially small and medium-sized manufacturers. Some packaging companies use glue-free bonding technology (such as ultrasonic sealing), which may pose a challenge to the traditional adhesive backing market. As the industry concentration increases, large companies occupy market share through scale advantages, and small and medium-sized enterprises face greater competitive pressure.
