The global flock adhesives market was valued at $1.9 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $2.9 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2020 to 2027. Adhesive flocking is a process that involves incorporation of short fibers into adhesive layers through electrostatic or mechanical process. This results into formation of flocked fibers that are widely used in the textile sector. There are several processes that are used for adhesive flocking such as spraying, rolling, brushing, or dipping. Flock adhesives find applications in sectors such as automotive, textile, cosmetics, industrial technology, home & household, paper & packaging, construction, furniture, and textile.
Growth of the global flock adhesives market is attributed to the factors such as increase in utilization of flock adhesives in textile sector. There are several advantages of flock adhesives in the textile sector such as prevention of condensation of water droplets, heat insulation, prevention of dynamic friction & mechanical noise, and improve handling of equipment. Moreover, its characteristics such as environment friendly nature, elasticity, softness, resistance to scratches, and stability is the major growth factor in the global market. The automotive sector incorporates flock adhesive during manufacturing of glove boxes, sun visors, headrests, window guide, coiled cables, and cladding of pillars A, B & C. Textile industry is adopting flock adhesives for advertising prints on sports cloths and functional brush effect can also be achieved on carpets and mats. In addition, rise in adoption of flock adhesives in the furniture sector during manufacturing of upholstery fabrics with improved abrasion resistance also propels the market growth. These factors are predicted to augment the demand of flock adhesives during the forecast period. However, health and environmental hazards associated with flock adhesives is predicted to hamper the market growth. For instance, plastisol screen printing flocked adhesive is harmful to human skin and may lead to skin & eye irritation. In addition, use of flock adhesives in household sector is also expected to offer new opportunities for the market growth.
