The "Adhesives Market Global Briefing 2018" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global adhesives market is expected to reach around $105 billion in 2020.

This can be attributed to the expected increase in the global adhesives mergers and acquisitions (M&A). In 2016 many adhesives companies said they were willing to pursue acquisitions in the next 12 months. In addition, M&A interest is likely to be fueled by stronger corporate balance sheets, liquid debt markets, and continued favourable interest rates; for example, Royal Adhesives & Sealants LLC recently announced it has acquired Adhesive Systems Inc. In 2016. Increases in mergers and acquisitions have led to a stronger market presence in multiple regions for many adhesives companies.

The segments in the adhesives market were water-based, solvent-based, hot-melt-based and reactive & others.

Asia Pacific was the largest region in the adhesives market in 2017, accounting for around 45% market share. North America was the second largest region accounting for around 22% market share. South America was lowest region accounting for around 3.5% market share.
