Packaging Adhesives Market to Reach USD 31.22 Billion by 2033, Growing at 5.43% CAGR from 2025
Adhesives in Food and Flexible Packaging
Adhesives play a critical role in the food packaging industry, particularly in flexible packaging applications. Flexible packaging refers to materials like plastic films, foils, and paper that can bend or conform to the shape of the product, offering convenience, reduced material usage, and extended shelf life. Within this segment, flexible packaging adhesives are essential for bonding multiple layers of different substrates to create durable, high-performance packaging. These adhesives ensure seal integrity, protect against moisture and oxygen, and preserve the freshness and safety of food products.
Common adhesive technologies used in food packaging include solvent-based, water-based, and solvent-free systems, each selected based on the packaging material and product requirements. With increasing demand for sustainability and food safety, modern flexible packaging adhesives are also being developed to meet regulatory standards, reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and enhance recyclability without compromising performance.

Comparison: Industrial Adhesives vs. Henkel Adhesives vs. Laminating Adhesives
Industrial adhesives refer to a broad category of bonding agents used across various industries such as automotive, construction, electronics, and packaging to join materials like metal, plastic, glass, and composites. These adhesives are designed for high performance, durability, and resistance to environmental factors. Henkel adhesives, on the other hand, are a branded range of adhesive solutions developed by Henkel, a global leader in chemical and consumer goods. Henkel offers a wide variety of adhesives under brands like Loctite, Technomelt, and Teroson, catering to both industrial and consumer applications.
While they fall under the umbrella of industrial adhesives, they are distinguished by proprietary formulations, strong brand reputation, and extensive R&D. Laminating adhesives are a specific type of industrial adhesive used primarily in the packaging and manufacturing industries to bond multiple layers of materials, such as plastic films, foils, and paper. These adhesives provide clarity, flexibility, and resistance to chemicals and heat, making them ideal for food packaging and flexible packaging solutions. In summary, industrial adhesives encompass a wide range of applications; Henkel adhesives are a leading brand within that space; and laminating adhesives serve a specialized role in multilayer bonding.
