Understanding Packaging Adhesives and Their Role in Industry
Packaging adhesives are crucial materials used in the packaging sector to bond, seal, or laminate different substrates such as paper, cardboard, and plastics. Their function is to create secure, durable packaging that maintains product integrity during handling, transport, and storage. These adhesives contribute significantly to the stability and reliability of packaging structures, enabling diverse applications across food, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, and industrial sectors.
E-Commerce Growth as a Key Driver in Packaging Adhesives Demand
One of the primary catalysts propelling the packaging adhesives market is the rapid expansion of the e-commerce industry. E-commerce involves buying and selling goods and services over the Internet, which has become increasingly accessible due to greater smartphone and internet penetration. This online shopping boom requires dependable packaging solutions to ensure products are securely packed and protected during shipping.

E-commerce accounted for 16.1 percent of total retail sales in 2024, up from 15.3 percent the previous year. This steady rise in online retail is directly driving the increased need for packaging adhesives that can support efficient order fulfillment.
