Packaging Adhesives Market to Grow with a CAGR of 3.15% through 2030

Rising Demand of Packaging Adhesives in Flexible Packaging and food & beverage sector are factors driving the Global Packaging Adhesives Market in the forecast period 2026-2030

According to TechSci Research report, “Packaging Adhesives Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Packaging Adhesives Market stood at USD 15.35 Billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 3.15% in the forecast period.

Packaging adhesives play a critical role in delivering high-performance bonding solutions tailored to the demanding requirements of a wide range of end-use applications, particularly in the production of boxes and cartons. These adhesives are available in various formulations, with water-based adhesives being a prominent category comprising water, polymers, and functional additives to ensure strong adhesion and operational efficiency.

The rising global demand for packaged food products is a major growth driver for the packaging adhesives market. Packaged foods offer extended shelf life at ambient temperatures, providing consumers with greater convenience and accessibility. Within this segment, flexible packaging has gained significant traction due to its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and lightweight design.

Flexible packaging typically involves the lamination of multiple polymer layers, which enhances mechanical strength and printability. This multilayer structure is often produced through a single extrusion process, improving manufacturing speed and reducing costs. These advantages are expected to accelerate the adoption of flexible packaging across industries, thereby increasing the demand for advanced adhesive solutions.

The growing emphasis by key market players on e-commerce integration and digital transformation is further supporting the expansion of the flexible packaging sector. As both retailers and manufacturers increasingly engage with consumers through direct-to-consumer online platforms, the need for durable, visually appealing, and secure packaging formats continues to rise. This trend is expected to contribute significantly to the sustained growth of the packaging adhesives market in the coming years.

Global Packaging Adhesives Market is segmented into technology, resin, application, regional distribution, and company

Based on the category of application, flexible packaging emerged as the dominant segment in the global market for packaging adhesives in 2024. Flexible packaging is widely used across a broad spectrum of industries, including food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal care, household goods, and industrial products. This packaging format includes pouches, sachets, bags, wraps, and films applications that require advanced adhesive technologies to bond multiple layers of materials such as plastic, aluminum foil, and paper. Adhesives play a critical role in maintaining barrier properties, heat resistance, and seal integrity, which are essential in preserving product freshness and shelf life.

Modern consumer lifestyles increasingly favor products that are lightweight, easy to store, resealable, and portable all hallmarks of flexible packaging. This shift is particularly prominent in the food and personal care sectors, where single-use sachets, snack pouches, and resealable bags have become commonplace. The widespread adoption of such formats has directly contributed to higher consumption of packaging adhesives tailored to flexible materials. Flexible packaging uses less raw material compared to rigid packaging, reducing the carbon footprint during production and transportation. This aligns with global sustainability trends and corporate commitments toward eco-friendly packaging. Adhesives used in this segment are being engineered to be recyclable, compostable, or solvent-free, making them highly compatible with new-generation flexible packaging formats aimed at circular economy goals.

Based on region, The Asia Pacific region is projected to record the most accelerated growth in the global packaging adhesives market during the forecast period. This robust expansion is primarily driven by a combination of macroeconomic and demographic factors, including shifting consumer lifestyles, rising disposable incomes, rapid urbanization, and substantial population growth particularly in key economies such as China and India.

As consumers across the region increasingly adopt fast-paced, convenience-oriented lifestyles, there is a marked shift in preference toward ready-to-eat and pre-packaged food and beverage products. This behavioral change is fueling a substantial rise in the demand for efficient and reliable packaging solutions thereby creating a significant market opportunity for advanced adhesive technologies. China and India, owing to their sheer population scale and expanding middle class, are emerging as pivotal markets for packaged consumer goods. These countries are witnessing rapid industrial growth, an expanding retail sector, and the proliferation of modern trade and e-commerce channels, all of which are contributing to increased domestic production and consumption of packaged products.
