NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Adhesives are substances applied to one surface or both surfaces of two separate items that binds them together and resists their separation. The term 'adhesives' is used interchangeably with glue, cement, mucilage, or paste.
Adhesives accounted for only for XX% of the chemicals market in 2015. Its low share was due to limited usage of adhesives products compared to other products associated with the chemicals industry. Adhesives are not used in the same bulk in manufacturing as some other materials such as plastics.

Global per capita adhesives consumption grew from $XX in 2011 to $XX in 2015 at a CAGR of XX% and is expected to grow to $XX in 2019 at a CAGR of XX%.

Adhesives companies are developing new adhesives to cater to the needs of various industries. The various types of adhesives being developed are pressure-sensitive adhesives, pre-cut layered adhesive films and stick-to-skin adhesives.
