Water-Borne Adhesives are bonding agents supplied as a solution or a dry powder, which must be mixed with water before application, thereby, the adhesives attain strength when the water is lost from the glue line by evaporation or absorption by the substrate. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Water-Borne Adhesives market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecasted period. Factors like the increasing demand for Water-Borne Adhesives in the Building & Construction industry due to their properties like excellent durability, weather resistance, etc., are expected to drive the global Water-Borne Adhesives market in the forecasted period. Further, the usage of Water-borne Adhesives in the packaging industry due to their ability to cure ambient temperature is estimated to propel the future Water-Borne Adhesives market in the forecasted period. Furthermore, the increasing demand for Water-Borne Adhesives from the Automotive industry due to their ability to bond with various substrates is expected to drive the global Water-Borne Adhesives market. However, factors like complex formulation and shortened shelf-life are restraining the growth of the global Water-Borne Adhesives market. 

Water-Borne Adhesives are used in labels, foils, films, paperboard decals, wood assembly, automobile upholstery, leather binding, joint cement, manufactured housing, pre-finished panels, resilient flooring, roofing, wall coverings, etc. 

The Primary use of Water-Borne Adhesives is in the Building & Construction Industry. There has been a remarkable increase in the usage of Water-Borne Adhesives in the Building & Construction industry due to their desirable properties like their eco-friendly and low-toxic nature, high solid content, and high initial adhesion, high toughness & flexibility, temperature resistance, fatigue resistance, etc. In the construction industry, adhesives are used in concrete, carpet laying, underlayment, drywall lamination, joint cement, ceramic tiles, manufactured housing, pre-finished panels, resilient flooring, roofing, and wall covering. Various types of adhesives are utilized, depending on the purposes they serve. The growth in green building construction, as well as the rising concern about the quality of construction, is accelerating the need for water-borne adhesives. Waterborne adhesives are made from either soluble synthetic polymers or natural polymers. Water-borne bonds use water as a carrier or diluting medium to disperse a resin. Water-borne sealants are increasingly becoming an integral part of construction chemicals due to their eco-friendly and low-toxic nature, high initial adhesion and high solid content properties. Further, the governments have imposed regulations in favor of using Water-Borne adhesives for buildings and constructions owing to their low Volatile Organic Compounds Emission relative to other contemporary bonds in the market. Furthermore, factors like the increased government investment in public infrastructure and increased awareness about the usage of Water-Borne Adhesives over conventional mechanical fasteners are projected to drive the growth of the Water Borne Adhesives Market. Manufacturers have also started investing in research & development to produce more innovative, cost-effective, high-performance products. These are the factors projected to drive the Global Water-Borne Adhesives market growth.  

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to be a market leader as it is one of the fastest-growing markets for Water-Borne Adhesives. Factors like increasing population, increase in growing income families, young people, and demand in the domestic and regional markets have elevated the need for Water-Borne Adhesives in these regions, thereby driving the market in the Asia-Pacific region. China and India are the primary consumers in Asia-Pacific Region, with China holding a sizeable economic GDP. The demand of this market is characterized by the development of the tapes & labels, paper & packaging, woodworking, building & construction, automotive & transportation, and other application. Further, factors like the growing popularity of non-hazardous, green, and sustainable adhesives are estimated to drive the Water-Borne market. Furthermore, there has been an increase in the usage of Water-Borne adhesives in various building applications like windows, PVC doors, canopies, panels, architectural components, etc., thereby driving the growth of the Water-Borne market. Rising demand from the packaging sector is likely to foster the development of the global water-borne adhesives market. Water-Borne adhesives have been used in the Packaging industry for bookbinding, cartons, paper bags, labels, etc., owing to their properties like shear, tack, and peel strength. This type of adhesive is utilized in several applications, like food packaging, office tapes, label applications, flexible laminations, and packaging tapes. Water-borne adhesives are non-reactive, making them a popular choice in the food packaging sector. An increase in the use of tapes and labels in the packaging of electronic and electrical devices, hygiene and medical packaging, packaging of drug delivery systems, packaging of construction materials during transit, packaging related to automotive and logistics, and packaging of consumer and industrial goods are a few factors awaited to boost the growth of the water-based adhesive market. Additionally, Various valuable properties such as durability, flexibility, and economic efficiency, are extended by water-based adhesives that boost the water-based adhesive market towards immense growth. The growing demand for lightweight and low pollution-causing vehicles is another factor driving the market's growth. This adhesive also finds use in various commercial and industrial applications due to its environment-friendly nature. Moreover, it is also used in the automobile industry to bond backing material as it helps reduce vibration in the vehicle's body panels. Factors like these have made Asia Pacific an essential scope for the global Water-Borne Adhesives market.
