The adhesive market is gradually becoming large-scale and environmentally friendly

Adhesive is a chemical product, mainly used for the production of wood-based panels, building and building materials industry, packaging and labeling industry, footwear industry, transportation industry and household appliances and electronics industry. At present, many adhesive companies and scientific research institutions have strictly implemented GBl8580-2001 and GBl8583-2001 standards, and actively research and develop and introduce low-toxic, non-toxic, high solid content, solvent-free and water-based adhesive production technologies and products, production equipment Continuous improvement, continuous improvement of new product grades, continuous emergence of safety and environment-friendly new products, basically eliminating the use of benzene. It can be considered that China's adhesive industry has basically realized industrialization, partially replacing foreign imports and even exporting a considerable amount of products.

With the rapid increase in high-end products, the adhesive market, which was originally dominated by low-middle-end products, has begun to show diversification. Industry insiders believe that the market demand for high, medium and low-end products will coexist for quite some time in the future. The market share of quality-qualified general-purpose medium and low-grade products is about 60%, and the annual growth rate is 7% to 9%. It is expected that this growth momentum will continue to be maintained in the next 10 years. High-performance and high-quality products are developing rapidly. The annual growth rate is generally above 12%, and some are as high as 20 to 40%. The future growth rate is expected to be higher than 10%, and the development prospects are very good. With the rapid development of China's economy, the demand for specialty adhesives and their products will continue to grow, and there is great room for development.

The bottleneck of the development of China's adhesive industry still exists, mainly the important key raw materials, high-performance and high-quality additives need to be imported, difficult to solve in the short term, which will affect the further development of the adhesive industry. In 2004, the adhesive market became more competitive. The world's leading adhesive manufacturers entered the Chinese market one after another. The world’s top 11 companies all established joint ventures or wholly-owned enterprises in China. Sales have accounted for about 40% of total adhesive sales in mainland China, and high-tech products have dominated the market.

In the future, the development direction of adhesive production will be towards scale and intensification. Some small and medium-sized enterprises with small scale, poor technology and equipment, and low product quality have been eliminated. Some enterprises with large production scale, high technological level and good product quality will accelerate the development of new products, new technologies and brand cultivation, and continuously enhance their strength. And market competitiveness. Environmental protection and energy-saving products accelerate development. With the concept of protecting the environment and cherishing resources becoming more and more popular, energy-saving production technologies such as high solid content, solvent-free, water-based, photo-curing (uv) and other environment-friendly and low-temperature curing, waste recycling, and the like will become more and more. Pay attention and continue to increase research and development efforts. Epoxy resins and other environmentally friendly and energy-saving products, such as low-toxicity, non-toxic, water-based, and easily biodegradable, will further accelerate development in a short period of time, thereby realizing the environmental protection of the entire industry.
