South America Construction Adhesives Market Trends

Waterborne Technology to Dominate the Market

• Water-borne adhesives use water as a carrier or a diluting medium, to disperse a resin. They are set by allowing the water to evaporate or be absorbed by the substrate. These adhesives are compounded with water as a diluent, rather than a volatile organic solvent.
• They can be considered as low-VOC adhesives. Water-borne adhesives are produced from either soluble synthetic polymers (from polymers, such as cellulose ethers, polyvinyl alcohol, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, and polyvinyl pyrrolidone) or natural polymers (from vegetable sources, such as starches and dextrins; protein sources, such as blood, fish, milk albumen, and soybean; and animal sources, such as bones and hides).
• Acrylic water-borne adhesives and latex water-borne adhesives are majorly employed for different applications, in the building and construction industry.
• Acrylic water-borne adhesives are mainly used as a pressure-sensitive adhesives in the construction sector, in the form of labels and tapes, for tile bonding and laminating purposes.
• The significant growth of the construction industry in the South America region has boosted the demand for construction adhesives in the recent past.
• Hence, owing to the above-mentioned reasons, waterborne technology is expected to dominate the market studied.

Brazil to Dominate the Industry

• Brazil currently accounts for the major share of the South America construction adhesives market owing to the growing construction projects in the country.
• In the recent past, the government of Brazil has initiated several programs to strengthen the public-private partnership in investments related to construction projects.
• Additionally there has been increased growth in the demand for residential growth which is likely to increase the demand for construction adhesives in the country.
• Hence, owing to the above-mentioned factors, Brazil is expected to dominate the market studied during the forecast period.
