Pressure-sensitive adhesives represent the third largest global market segment in size and in expected demand growth. This segment is growing at an annual rate about 10% higher than the average for the total global adhesives and sealants market.

The business is rather concentrated in the label sector and more mature and fragmented in the packaging tape business. Many large tape and label manufacturers are back integrated into captive PSA production and for some, even merchant sales.

This segment is characterized by significant foreign trade activity: the industrialized countries produce sizeable amounts of PSA that are exported to the less developed countries.

This report details the dynamic market for pressure sensitive adhesives worldwide and provides a further breakdown of their use in tape, label and other sub-segments. The global presentation identifies the PSA demand in the USA, Western Europe and Japan which, when combined, represents about 80% of the world market place.
