Surge in Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Adhesives
The India market for adhesives is going through a sharp change towards bio-based and environment-friendly solutions. Growing environmental awareness and regulations against volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have encouraged manufacturers to produce bio-based and water-borne adhesives. Packagings, construction, and the automotive industries are adopting such adhesives more and more in order to decrease their carbon footprint. For instance, in May 2023, Brilliant Polymers introduced Brilliant Max Cure, a solvent-free adhesive that cures quickly, and HA960/A900, a solvent-based GLYMO-free adhesive at Interpack 2023, improving safety, sustainability, and performance in flexible packaging. Moreover, advancements in biodegradable adhesives produced from plant origin like starch and soy proteins are on the upswing. Furthermore, recycling-friendly adhesive recipes are coming to the fore for enabling circular economy efforts. Regulations by the government encouraging sustainability like extended producer responsibility (EPR) of waste packaging are driving industries even harder toward using eco-friendlier adhesives. With increasing demand for environmentally friendly products from consumers, the sustainable adhesives market in India is likely to grow at a high rate, driving R&D efforts to formulate high-performance, non-toxic substitutes with comparable durability and strength to conventional synthetic adhesives.
Rising Demand for High-Performance Adhesives in Automotive and Electronics
The development of India's automotive and electronics industries is propelling the need for high-performance adhesives with greater durability, heat resistance, and electrical insulation capabilities. The electric vehicle (EV) boom has spurred the demand for advanced bonding technology in battery packs, light vehicle structures, and thermal management. Adhesives are substituting mechanical fasteners in the production of vehicles to minimize weight, improve fuel economy, and enhance crashworthiness. Likewise, the electronics industry observes miniaturizing trends and complexities in devices with the demand for adhesives that offer improved thermal conductivity along with electrical insulation. The technology is vital to circuit boards, sensors, as well as the packaging of semiconductor devices. Evolving 5G infrastructure along with smart gadgets also intensifies the demand for adhesives that enhance dissipation of heat and reliability. As advances in material science continue to grow, high-performance adhesives are becoming part of India's changing automotive and electronics sectors.
Growth of Smart Adhesives and Industry 4.0 Integration
India's adhesives market is also witnessing digitalization with the emergence of smart adhesives and integration of Industry 4.0. Smart adhesives that shift properties according to environmental conditions such as temperature, pressure, or humidity are finding wider use in industries like aerospace, healthcare, and packaging. Such high-end adhesives enhance efficiency, allow for self-healing functionality, and make the products safer by giving real-time performance feedback. For example, in April 2024, Henkel grows in India with an Application Engineering Center in Chennai and an adhesives plant at Kurkumbh, applying Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing to boost high-performance adhesives for thermal management, water-proofing, and electronics assembly. Moreover, industry 4.0 technologies like automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and IoT-based monitoring systems are streamlining adhesive application processes in manufacturing. Intelligent factories are using robotics for accurate adhesive dispensing, minimizing material wastage and enhancing quality control. AI-based predictive maintenance is enabling manufacturers to boost productivity and minimize downtime. With Indian industries adopting digitalization, the usage of smart adhesives and automated adhesive application systems is set to increase, enhancing production processes to be efficient, cost-friendly, and sustainable.
