HYDERABAD, India, September 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Mordor Intelligence announces the publication of their research report on the Global Pressure Sensitive Adhesives Market. The report titled "Global Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA) Market - Segmented by Technology, Application and Geography - Trends and Forecasts (2016-2021)" explains the current landscape and outlook of the said market.

The global pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) market is currently valued at USD 7.1 billion as of 2016 and is expected to reach USD 9.4 billion by 2021, growing at a CAGR of 5.83% during the forecast period from 2016-2021.

Pressure sensitive adhesives are an integral part of various commercial and industrial sectors, owing to their viscous & elastic, peel & shear resistance properties and the initial tack. The major applications taken into consideration in our report are tapes, labels and graphics.

Our report is segmented as follows:

• By Technology
  • Water-Borne
  • Solvent-Borne
  • Hot Melt
  • Radiation Cured
• By Application
  • Tapes
    • Single-sided
    • Double-sided
    • Transfer Tapes
  • Labels
  • Graphics
  • Others
• By Resins
  • Acrylics
  • Silicones
  • Elastomers
  • Other (PU, Epoxies, Vinyl Acetates, etc.)
• By Mode of Application
  • Permanent
  • Removable
  • By End-User Industries
  • Packaging
  • Woodworking & Joinery
  • Medical
  • Commercial Graphics
  • Transportation
  • Electronics
  • Metalworking and Assembly Operations
  • Other
• By Region
  • Asia-Pacific
  • Europe
  • North America
  • South America
  • Middle-East and Africa

The tapes segment has been divided in to two segments: single-sided and double-sided, both of which are further divided into sub-segments based on type and applications. Owing to a wide-range of applications across numerous industrial and commercial sectors, tapes accounted for over 60% market share in 2015.

The PSA market is driven by numerous factors viz. dynamic economic development in the Asia-Pacific region, increasing adoption of low-cost flexible packaging, demand from the medical and food-packaging sectors in developing nations and rapidly growing end-user industries (such as growing construction, electronics, and automotive industry). However, stringent environmental regulations regarding VOC emissions across the globe, are acting as road blocks for the growth of the market.

Some of the major players in the market are Henkel AG & Co., 3M Company, Arkema Group, Avery Dennison Corp., Dow Corning Corporation, H.B. Fuller Company and Pidilite Industries Ltd.
