It mostly refers to those adhesives which have a very low or zero volatile organic compounds. Low VOCs adhesives are good for both living organisms and the environment.

Global Low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Adhesive Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing demand of low volatile organic compounds (VOC) adhesive in paper and packaging industry

The paper and packaging sector is projected to cover the significant growth rate in the global low volatile organic compounds (VOC) adhesive market due to the wide usage these adhesives in various types of packaging such as case and carton, corrugated and flexible packaging. Furthermore, easy clearance for food packaging from BGA and FDA agencies is expected to drive the growth of the low volatile organic compounds (VOC) adhesive market during the forecast period.

• Increasing usage of polyvinyl acetate (PVA) adhesives

Polyvinyl acetate adhesives is low volatile organic compounds (VOC) adhesive which is widely used in the adhesive as a synthetic resin. Polyvinyl acetate adhesives are eco-friendly and offers various properties such as presence of less VOCs, waterborne nature and superior adhesion to different substrates. It has huge scope in packaging applications such as paperboard decals, wood assembly, automobile upholstery, bookbinding, paper bags, cartons, labels, foils, film, and leather binding. As a result of all these factors, the demand for the polyvinyl acetate adhesive increases which is expected to drive the market growth.

Opportunities

• Growing interest in construction of green buildings

With augmented interest in green living among consumers, it is important to use those materials which have less or no negative effect on the environment. The usage of low volatile organic compounds (VOC) adhesives are approved in the construction of green buildings. These adhesives are produced to comply with evolving green building standards. Green building comprises bio based raw materials in the adhesive, solvent free products and concentrated emphasis on lower VOCs during and after installation. Thus, increasing interest in construction of green buildings will create ample opportunities for the market growth.

• Adverse health and environmental effects of using volatile organic compounds (VOC)

Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are responsible for various problems such as pollution and global warming. VOCs evaporation is the major factor for the formation of ground-level ozone that is extremely irritating. In addition to the health problems, ground-level ozone also has a high negative effect on plants, ecosystems and biodiversity. Hence, switching to low volatile organic compounds (VOC) adhesive products is good for both human health and environment. This is also the major factor which generate lucrative opportunities for the market growth.

Restraints/ Challenge

• Volatility in the price of raw materials

The effort of manufacturing low VOC adhesive is very challenging for manufacturers. The cost of low volatile organic compounds (VOC) adhesive is much higher than other adhesives. The cause behind this is the increasing demand for eco-friendly compounds which is growing the cost of the raw materials. The cost of low volatile organic compounds (VOC) adhesive manufacturing is inherently higher than standard adhesives which is expected to restraint the market growth over the coming years. 

• Limiting usage of low volatile organic compounds (VOC) adhesive by strict regulatory authorities

Strict regulatory authorities such as Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the U.S. and the Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) in the Europe limit the use of these compounds which might further challenge the growth of the market in the near future.
