According to a new report by Reports and Data, the global instant adhesive market is expected to reach $3.52 billion by 2028 from a market size of $2.2 billion in 2020. This growth is associated with manufacturers increasingly substituting plastic components in place of metal or glass to design lighter weight, lower cost, and more durable products. Plastics are highly corrosion-resistant and do not require surface treatment to withstand exposure to corrosive materials.

Instant adhesives, mostly comprised of various esters of cyanoacrylic acid, are strong and fast-acting, with medical, industrial, and household applications. The acryl groups in the resin, in presence of water, rapidly polymerizes, forming long and strong chains.

Cyanoacrylates (CAs) are rapid curing and have high bonding strengths on plastic and rubber materials. The versatility of these adhesives makes them highly useful in many industries including electronics, for printed circuit board components and wires, and in medical technology for disposable plastic devices.

Light curing cyanoacrylates are one of the newest and fastest growing adhesive technologies in the market. Light cure CAs perform similarly to traditional instant adhesives but with the advantage of instant, tack-free cure when exposed to UV or visible light, since they do not require the use of solvent-borne accelerators to speed the cure process.

Market Summary

The global Instant adhesive market is expected register a CAGR of 5.6% to reach USD 3.52 Billion by 2028. This can be mainly associated with the application of instant adhesives in fast curing and excellent bonding strength, rising need for automation and miniaturization in the electronics industry and growing effectiveness of these adhesives even at room temperature; with one-part catalyst free formulation as well as high chemical resistance.

Instant adhesives are strong and fast-acting adhesives with medical, industrial, and household applications, majorly with a composition of various esters of cyanoacrylic acid. The acryl groups in the resin, in presence of water, rapidly polymerises, forming long and strong chains. These adhesives are sometimes known as power glues instant glues, or superglues.

Specific cyanoacrylates include ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate (ECA, commonly called “Super Glue” and “Krazy Glue”, or Toagosei), methyl 2-cyanoacrylate (MCA), octyl cyanoacrylate n-butyl cyanoacrylate (n-BCA), and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (used in veterinary medical, and first aid applications). Octyl cyanoacrylate is used to address toxicity concerns and reduce allergic response and skin irritation. The commonly used abbreviation for industrial grade cyanoacrylate is “CA”.
