AMORPHOUS POLYOLEFINS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global amorphous polyolefins market size was USD 0.51 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 0.7 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period.

Amorphous polyolefin is a popular hot melt adhesive that is utilized across several key applications. Although the adhesive is not suitable for polar surfaces, it bonds well with non-polar substrates such as polypropylene and polyethylene. Against polar solutions and solvents such as bases, acids, alcohols, and esters, these adhesives showcase tremendous chemical resistance. They are also known for their physical characteristics such as water vapor permeability and low moisture absorption.

Amorphous polyolefin adhesives exhibit exceptional heat resistant characteristics and chemical resistance against non-polar solvents such as oils, ethers, and alkanes. The product is produced in a range of hardness, melt viscosities, surface tackiness, and softening points.  On account of the aforementioned chemical and physical characteristics, the amorphous polyolefins market growth will gain significant momentum in the coming years.  

COVID-19 Impact

Disrupted Supply Chains Led to Decline in the Market

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with amorphous polyolefins experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic badly affected the amorphous polyolefins industry due to supply chain disruptions and shortage in raw materials was also observed. Shortage of labor and strict protocols such as lockdowns and restrictions on movement created roadblocks, disruptions in end-use sectors of the product led to lower demand. Due to these factors, the market experienced a lower demand during the pandemic.

LATEST TRENDS

Packaging Industry to Accelerate the Market Demand

The combination of amorphous polyolefin with tackifiers, resins, and wax is expected to open up profitable business prospects and have a beneficial impact on the market's expansion. The market is divided into a number of different end-user sectors, including paper & packaging, personal hygiene, construction, product assembly, and others. The industry of packaging is the most dominant sector and is anticipated to dominate the market throughout the anticipated period.
