Increasing investments in South Africa from foreign companies to boost the demand for adhesives
- South Africa is one of the top individual demand generators in Africa. From 2017 to 2021, South Africa maintained a 14 to 16% share. Acrylic, epoxy, and EVA are the most often used resins in South Africa. The building and construction, packaging, and healthcare industries account for the majority of the country's adhesive demand.
- The demand for adhesives increased dramatically between 2017 and 2019. The automotive and construction end-user sectors are driving the increase in the demand for adhesives, mostly as a result of policy assistance from the government. For example, the introduction of the Automotive Manufacturing Development Program (APDP) in 2013 enhanced long-term automotive investments in the nation, which expanded local production capacity during this forecasting time.
- Adhesives are majorly consumed in the packaging industry in the country owing to their importance in bonding plastics, metals, and paper and cardboard packaging applications. Waterborne adhesives are highly consumed in the industry because of their cheaper cost and high bonding strength, which is required in these applications. It is seen that nearly 30 thousand tons of water-borne adhesives were consumed in the packaging industry of the country in 2021.
- Furthermore, African nations are making significant attempts to improve domestic production with the support of increased investment from Asian and European countries. As a result, established overseas firms, such as Lupin and Dr. Reddy's, are anticipated to increase their manufacturing capacity in the country. This factor is predicted to increase demand for healthcare packaging materials, such as blister packs, caps and closures, pouches, and IV bags.

South Africa Adhesives Market Trends
Plastic packaging with nearly 79% of the overall production will dominate the packaging industry
- The demand for quick and on-the-go packaged items is increasing due to consumers' busier lifestyles, greater spending power, and related factors. In today's competitive FMCG market, it has become inevitable for companies to use attractive packaging and offer innovation in their packaging to stand out from their competitors and maintain their brand in the market. Consumers and manufacturers prefer paper and paperboard packaging instead of plastic packaging. This factor is likely to result in increased use of paper-based packaging and its adhesive usage. In 2021, paper and paperboard packaging accounted for 21% of total packaging, amounting to 9.7 million tonnes of packaging, and it is expected to register a growth of 3.83% during the forecast period.
- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the country-wide lockdowns and temporary shutdown of manufacturing facilities caused several issues, including disruptions in supply chains and import and export trade. As a result, the country's packaging production registered a stagnant growth of 0.91% in 2020 compared to the previous year, significantly affecting the market. Packaging production is majorly driven by plastic in the country, which accounted for 36.2 million ton or around 79% of the packaging produced in 2021. With the advancement of plastic recyclability, the plastic segment is likely to maintain its growth and register a 3.17% CAGR during the forecast period.
- The growing interest in public health issues during the post-pandemic period, along with the emerging e-commerce activities across the nation, is likely to boost the growth of the food processing industry, which will further drive packaging demand over the coming years.

BMW, Ford, Isuzu, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen are the primary drivers of the value chain. These firms significantly impact the economy of Gauteng, the Eastern Cape, and KwaZulu-Natal. These OEMs, together with their suppliers, are at the heart of the three regional clusters, and their socioeconomic contribution is critical to the social upliftment of these areas.
- In 2019, the country recorded about 6,31,921 units of vehicles produced, which drastically reduced to 4,47,213 units in 2020, accounting for a decline of about 29% owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to this, the variation in automotive production between 2019 and 2021 was about -21%, whereas the variation between 2020 and 2021 was recorded at about 12%.
- Over the years, the use of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles has contributed significantly to problems such as climate change, environmental pollution, and increased cost of gas. The automotive industry in South Africa is among the highest CO2 emitters, responsible for approximately 20% of total emissions and the third highest contributor to air pollution. Owing to this, the industry has adopted alternatives such as EVs due to their simplicity and technological advancements, which ensure low emissions.

- Product - All adhesive products are considered in the market studied
- Resin - Under the scope of the study, resins like Polyurethane, Epoxy, Acrylic, Cyanoacrylate, VAE/EVA, and Silicone are considered
- Technology - For the purpose of this study, Water-borne, Solvent-borne, Reactive, Hot Melt, and UV Cured adhesive technologies are taken into consideration.
| Keyword | Definition |
|---|---|
| Hot-melt Adhesive | Hot melt adhesives are generally 100% solid formulations, based on thermoplastic polymers. They are solid at room temperature and are activated upon heating above their softening point, at which stage they are liquid, and hence, can be processed. |
| Reactive Adhesive | A reactive adhesive is made up of monomers that react in the adhesive curing process and do not evaporate from the film during use. Instead, these volatile components become chemically incorporated into the adhesive. |
| Solvent-borne Adhesive | Solvent-borne adhesives are mixtures of solvents and thermoplastic, or slightly cross-linked polymers, such as polychloroprene, polyurethane, acrylic, silicone, and natural and synthetic rubbers (elastomers). |
| Water-borne Adhesive | Water-borne adhesives use water as a carrier or diluting medium to disperse a resin. They are set by allowing the water to evaporate or be absorbed by the substrate. These adhesives are compounded with water as a diluent, rather than a volatile organic solvent. |
| UV Cured Adhesive | UV curing adhesives induce curing and create a permanent bond without heating by using ultraviolet (UV) light or other radiation sources. An aggregation of monomers and oligomers is cured or polymerized by ultraviolet (UV) or visible light in a UV adhesive. Because UV is a radiating energy source, UV adhesives are often referred to as radiation curing or rad-cure adhesives. |
| Heat-resistant Adhesive | Heat-resistant Adhesives refer to those that do not break down under high temperatures. One aspect of a complicated system of circumstances is the adhesive's capacity to withstand disintegration brought on by high temperatures. As the temperature rises, adhesives may liquefy. They can withstand stresses resulting from differing coefficients of expansion and contraction, which might be an additional advantage. |
| Reshoring | Reshoring is the practice of moving commodity production and manufacturing back to the nation where the business was founded. Onshoring, inshoring, and back shoring are further terms used. Offshoring, the practice of producing items abroad to lower labor and manufacturing costs, is the opposite of this. |
| Oleochemicals | Oleochemicals are compounds produced from biological oils or fats. They resemble petrochemicals, which are substances made from petroleum. The oleochemical business is built on the hydrolysis of oils or fats. |
| Nonporous Materials | Nonporous materials are substances that do not permit the passage of liquid or air. Nonporous materials are those that are not porous, such as glass, plastic, metal, and varnished wood. Since no air can get through, less airflow is required to raise these materials, negating the requirement for high airflow. |
| EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement | A trade agreement and an investment protection agreement were concluded between the European Union and Vietnam on June 30, 2019. |
| VOC content | Compounds with limited solubility in water and high vapor pressure are known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Many VOCs are human-made chemicals that are used and produced in the manufacture of paints, pharmaceuticals, and refrigerants. |
| Emulsion Polymerization | Emulsion polymerization is a method of producing polymers or connected groups of smaller chemical chains known as monomers, in a water solution. The method is often used to make water-based paints, adhesives, and varnishes, in which the water stays with the polymer and is marketed as a liquid product. |
| 2025 National Packaging Targets | In 2018, the Australian Environment Ministry set the following 2025 National Packaging Targets: 100% of the packaging must be reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2025, 70% of plastic packaging must be recycled or composted by 2025, 50% of average recycled content must be included in packaging by 2025, and problematic and unnecessary single-use plastic packaging must be phased out by 2025. |
| Russian Government’s Import Substitution Policy | The Western sanctions suspended the distribution of several high-tech items to Russia, including those required by the raw material export sectors and the military-industrial complex. In response, the government launched an "import substitution" scheme, appointing a special commission to oversee its implementation in early 2015. |
| Paper Substrate | Paper substrates are paper sheets, reels, or boards with a base weight of up to 400 g/m2 that has not been converted, printed or otherwise altered. |
| Insulation Material | A material that inhibits or blocks heat, sound, or electrical transmission is known as Insulation Material. The variety of insulation materials includes thick fibers like fiberglass, rock and slag wool, cellulose, and natural fibers as well as stiff foam boards and sleek foils. |
| Thermal Shock | A temperature change known as thermal shock generates stress in a material. It commonly results in material breakdown and is especially prevalent in brittle materials like ceramics. When there is a quick temperature change, either from hot to cold or vice versa, this process occurs abruptly. It occurs more frequently in materials with poor heat conductivity and insufficient structural integrity. |
