Abstract

The global bioadhesive market size reached US$ 2.8 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 8.2 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2% during 2024-2032. The increasing demand for natural and eco-friendly products among the masses, the widespread product utilization in the medical industry, and the implementation of various government initiatives to promote the use of eco-friendly products are some of the major factors propelling the market.

Bioadhesives are natural polymeric materials with adhesive properties or glues that are derived from natural or renewable resources, such as plants, animals, or microorganisms. They are manufactured using cellulose, starch, chitosan, alginate, gelatin, collagen, and albumin proteins. They are designed to adhere to biological surfaces, including tissues, skin, or other organic materials. Bioadhesives are widely used to improve the barrier properties of packaging materials. They are also employed in dental applications, such as filling cavities, closing wounds, and promoting healing, and delivering drugs to the gastrointestinal tract or the nasal cavity. As compared to traditional adhesives, bioadhesives are non-toxic, biocompatible, and environmentally friendly. In addition to this, they exhibit flexibility, biodegradability, and the ability to adhere to wet surfaces, making them versatile in different environments. As a result, bioadhesives find extensive applications across the paper and packaging, wood, personal care, and healthcare industries.

The global bioadhesive market is expected to expand at a larger CAGR during the forecast period. The rising awareness among consumers and industries about the importance of sustainability and environmental conservation is favoring the market growth. In addition to this, the increasing adoption of bioadhesives due to the growing environmental consciousness and rising awareness regarding the adverse effects of synthetic adhesives is contributing to the market expansion. Moreover, the increasing product application in packaging, construction, healthcare, and personal care industries owing to its unique properties, such as biocompatibility, flexibility, and strong bonding capabilities, is providing an impetus to the market growth. Furthermore, the implementation of various government initiatives encouraging the use of bio-based products and significant growth in the packaging industry are supporting the market growth.

Bioadhesive Market Trends/Drivers:

The widespread product adoption in the healthcare industry

Bioadhesives are substances that can adhere to biological tissues, such as skin, mucous membranes, and other soft tissues. They are commonly used in healthcare for wound closure, drug delivery, and tissue engineering applications. Moreover, bioadhesives are rapidly replacing conventional invasive wound closure methods, such as staples, surgical sutures, and wires, owing to their anti-inflammatory, better wound healing, antibacterial, antioxidant, and leakage protection properties. Besides this, the widespread product utilization for developing drug delivery systems, such as patches, films, or nanoparticles that can adhere to mucosal surfaces like the oral cavity and nasal passages for a controlled release of medications, is favoring the market growth. These systems further improve drug efficacy and patient compliance and reduce systemic side effects, which, in turn, is positively influencing the market growth.

Growing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable products

Bioadhesives derived from renewable resources that have a minimal environmental impact are gaining popularity due to the rising awareness among consumers and industries about the importance of sustainability and environmental conservation. In addition to this, several companies are adopting sustainability goals and incorporating eco-friendly practices, such as the use of sustainable materials, which is further propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the implementation of various government initiatives to promote sustainability and reduce the use of hazardous chemicals is contributing to the market growth. Besides this, the growing inclination towards bioadhesives over synthetic adhesives, as they contain harmful chemicals and contribute to pollution and waste, is acting as another growth-inducing factor.

Various product innovations

Researchers are exploring and making continuous improvements to enhance the performance, functionality, and sustainability of bioadhesives across various industries. Additionally, the introduction of bio-based nanomaterials, such as nanocellulose and nanochitin, that help improve mechanical strength, adhesion properties, performance, and stability is favoring the market growth. Furthermore, the utilization of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology to offer customization and precise fabrication of complex structures with tailored adhesive properties is providing a considerable boost to the market growth.
