South America Adhesives Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the South America Adhesives Market according to our research experts:

Increasing Demand from Packaging Industry

  • Packaging is a fast-growing industry in terms of design and technology for protecting and enhancing products' safety and longevity.
  • It is the largest end-user industry, accounting for 57% of adhesive consumption across all South American countries.
  • The demand for quick and on-the-go packaged items is increasing due to consumers' busier lifestyles, greater spending power, and related factors in the region. 
  • The growing interest in public health, along with the emerging e-commerce activities across the region, is likely to continue boosting the growth of the food processing industry, which will further drive the packaging demand over the coming years.
  • Moreover, packaging paper and paperboard is also growing significantly. For example, Brazil's production capacity of packaging paper and paperboard amounted to 8264 thousand metric tons in 2021, driving the demand for adhesives in the region.
