These factors are predicted to notably contribute toward the global market.

However, availability of alternative choice of adhesives in the market is anticipated to hamper the market growth. The increase in spending on R&D has led to a vast product portfolio of adhesives. There are a large number of adhesive products available in the market for each industry starting from construction to automobile and electronics to optical.  

The activated covalent bonding technology helps in creating bonds on uneven surfaces. In this technique, a chemical process activates OH radicals on the component surface that are brought together to create a permanent and strong covalent bond. The traditional bonding processes were highly dependent on the use of adhesive fluid at the interface between two components to fill the gap for bonding purposes. Activated covalent bonding, on the other hand, does not need an introduction of the third material in the bonding process. Optical clear adhesives are expected to develop some of the novel applications in infrared radiation (IR) optical assembly due to the elimination of adhesive glue with similar strength and mechanical properties. This factor is anticipated to create remunerative opportunities for the expansion of the pressure sensitive adhesives market in the future.
