Global Bio-based Adhesives Technology and IP Analysis Report 2023: The Solution to Stricter Regulations and Growing Consumer Demands

DUBLIN, Aug. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Bio-based Adhesives: Technology and IP Analysis" report has been added to  ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This comprehensive study delves into the realm of innovation within adhesives, particularly those sourced sustainably.

Focusing on bio-based adhesives, the report examines three key categories: plant-based adhesives, bio-based polymer adhesives, and other bio-based adhesives, encompassing bio-inspired and microalgae-derived adhesives. The adhesive industry is experiencing a significant evolution, largely driven by the enforcement of stringent government regulations on volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the prohibition of toxic chemicals in adhesive manufacturing, and the surging consumer demand for environmentally friendly products.

In response to these transformative trends, adhesive manufacturers are striving to offer sustainable solutions, aligning their production and consumption processes with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals.

Bio-based adhesives impart lower mechanical and chemical performance than synthetic adhesives. A lot of the research centers on the incorporation of functionalized nanomaterials and natural fibers, at the nanoscale, to improve bio-adhesives' characteristics and performance.

Research is driven by stakeholders trying to find innovative approaches to address the challenges associated with bio-based adhesives, which will boost these adhesives' share and take the market from nascency to global commercial-scale deployment.
