The global Hot Melt Adhesives (HMA) market is projected to reach USD 9.46 billion by 2022 at a CAGR of 6.5%, in terms of value. The base year considered for the study is 2016 while the forecast period is from 2017 to 2022. The HMA market is driven by the increasing demand for HMA from applications such as packaging solutions, nonwoven hygiene products, and consumer DIY. The report includes an analysis of the HMA market by region, namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America.
HMAs can bond to a wide variety of materials and surfaces such as ceramic, fabric, papers, cardboard, metal, and plastics, which makes them suitable for DIY applications. Although DIY is popular in developed economies such as North America and Europe, it is a relatively new concept. The DIY applications include craft, woodworking, general goods packaging, and others. The stick form of HMA is widely used in these applications because of its ease of use and the availability of HMA guns. The DIY approach is very common in the U.S. and the European countries, where labor and installation costs are high, in comparison to the emerging markets. Hot melt systems are cost-effective in terms of floor space and labor requirements. This is most likely the result of eliminating the costs of operating large drying and curing ovens and pollution control equipment. Solvent recovery and incineration equipment, which are inevitable for solvent-based systems, are also eliminated from hot melt systems. This ultimately reduces installation and maintenance costs of these systems, and hence surging their demand in the DIY applications.
Note1: Core competencies of companies are determined in terms of their key developments, SWOT analysis, and key strategies adopted by them to sustain in the market
The top-down and bottom-up both approaches have been used to estimate and validate the size of the global HMA market and to estimate the size of various other dependent submarkets. The research study involved the use of extensive secondary sources, directories, and databases such as Hoovers, Bloomberg, Chemical Weekly, Factiva, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Securities And Exchange Commission (SEC), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and other government and private websites, to identify and collect information useful for the technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the HMA market.

This research report categorizes the HMA market on the basis of resin type, application, and region.
The global Hot Melt Adhesives (HMA) market is projected to reach USD 9.46 billion by 2022 at a CAGR of 6.5%, in terms of value. The HMA market has witnessed high growth in recent years, which is projected to continue in the coming years as well. HMAs are used in a wide range of applications such as packaging solutions, nonwoven hygiene products, wood & furniture, bookbinding, and others as it imparts properties such as enhanced processability, performance, and appearance of the product.
The main resin types are Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA), Styrenic Block Copolymers (SBC), Amorphous Poly-Alphaolefin (APAO), Metallocene Polyolefin (mPO), other Polyolefins (POP, PE, others), polyurethane, polyamide, Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA), and acrylic, among others. EVA is projected to lead the type segment of HMA, in terms of value and volume, during the forecast period. This is due to the wide usage of EVA in the manufacture of HMAs for various applications. The cost effectiveness of EVA over other types, is also leading to the high demand for the manufacture of HMAs.
HMAs are used in various application segments such as packaging solutions, nonwoven hygiene products, furniture & woodwork, and bookbinding, among others considered in the report. In 2016, the packaging solutions application accounted for the largest market share, in terms of value and volume. HMA is best suited for the manufacture of packaging solution products, especially food packaging and specialty packaging.
North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America are the main regions considered for the HMA market in the report. Asia-Pacific is the largest HMA market due to the rising demand for HMAs which is mainly driven by their increased use in packaging solutions, nonwoven hygiene products, and consumer DIY applications. Asia-Pacific is the second-largest consumer and manufacturer of HMA, globally, and is the fastest-growing region in the HMA market. Increasing consumer awareness regarding hygiene and the increasing demand for nonwoven hygiene products is contributing to the growing demand for HMAs globally.
Though the HMA market is growing at a high rate, a few factors such as the high price of raw materials, shift of the end-use market from developed countries to emerging countries, and the rising cost of production hinder the growth of the market, globally.
HMAs are used in many applications such as packaging solutions, nonwoven hygiene products, bookbinding, furniture & woodwork, and others.
The packaging application of HMAs includes carton boxes, envelopes, carton closure, cups, flexible packaging, specialty packaging, bags, and processed food products. The correct setting time of adhesives is very crucial for the successful packaging of a product. Tackifiers are one of the key raw materials for adhesives that influence the adhesion properties. The choice of resin type decides the quantity of tackifiers to be used in manufacturing HMAs. The selection of tackifiers is crucial to formulate hot melts that can meet specific setting time requirements.
HMAs are extensively used in products such as baby diapers, pet & medical pads, tissues, and towel & napkin. Feminine hygiene, adult incontinence, and toddler training pants are another key market for HMAs. The HMA market for nonwoven hygiene products is well-established in North America and Europe.
Furniture & woodwork was the fourth-largest application segment of the HMA market in 2016, with a market share of 12.1%. This application of HMA includes roofing, wall coverings, countertop laminations, and others. The consumption of construction adhesives has recovered from the European financial crisis of 2008. During the last decade, the demand for HMAs in the furniture sector has been high; Asia-Pacific continues to be the major market in this sector. India and China account for a significant market share in the woodworking application segment of HMAs.
