Hot Melt Amorphous Polyalphaolefin (APAO) Market Report

Market Insights

Hot Melt Amorphous Polyalphaolefin (APAO) Market is likely to witness a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period. The hot melt APAO market is expected to be driven by substantial growth in the global packaging industry in the next five years. As dual-income families' purchasing power grows and their attention changes to packaged products delivered at their doorsteps, the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and e-commerce industries are all witnessing an increased demand for packaging materials. Furthermore, the market is likely to benefit from rising popularity and demand for lightweight and low-emission vehicles. Automobile manufacturers' weight-reduction and emission-reduction strategies rely heavily on structural adhesives. These adhesives are used to bond various materials used in automobile assembly, allowing the vehicle's rigidity and stiffness to be increased without adding significantly to its mass. A lighter vehicle requires less fuel to operate, resulting in lower emissions. As a result of increasing personal automobile demand and growing awareness about fuel economy, the overall hot melt APAO market is expected to register significant gains over the forecast period.
