UV Adhesives, also called UV glue, UV Sterilizers, UV Steroid Solvents or UV glue sticks, are vital components of many industries. UV adhesives are adhesives that polymerize or solidify with ultraviolet light, thus curing via radiation. These UV adhesives were originally developed for the cosmetic industry, where color bottles, plastic containers, lips, eyes, and skin. UV adhesives have now become a commonplace in most industries due to their UV curing properties, especially for food and cosmetic applications.
Market Dynamics
Technological advancement in the development of adhesives is fostering the growth of the UV adhesives market. For instance, in October 2019, Eurobond Adhesives Ltd launched Vitralit UC1535, a new transparent adhesive, specifically designed for application in electronics. It hardens with UV light within a few seconds and can also be used for semiconductor production due to its low ion content. Moreover, strict VOC emission regulation is again expected to augment growth of the market.
On the other hand, presence of cost-effective alternative is expected to hinder growth of the market.
