Bio-adhesives Market Global Outlook and its Impact on Natural Bio-adhesive

by Global Market Research Analyst

The market database suggests that bio-based adhesives are natural polymeric materials that are noted to act as adhesives. The connotation is used to describe a glue that is synthetically formed from biological monomers like sugars. Market research tools suggest that bioadhesives facilitate cell-to-cell adhesion between living as well as non-living organisms. They also help facilitate the adhesion between an organism and a foreign surface.

According to business intelligence tools bio-adhesives as the name suggests are artificial materials that are designed to adhere to or stick, biological tissues. Proteins and carbohydrates are noted to be some of the key components which are used as building blocks for the development of bioadhesives. Substances such as gelatine (protein) and starch (carbohydrates) have been used as general-purpose adhesives for several years. The market analysis states that the vertical for bio-based adhesives is ever-expanding given the increased investment in research associated with sectors like biotechnology. As per biomimicry, bioadhesives secreted by microbes and by marine mollusks as well as crustaceans are being researched by professionals on a global scale.

The market database states that bioadhesives can be categorically bifurcated based on their adhesion properties into temporary adhesion and permanent adhesion. Temporary adhesives form non-polymer interactions and polymer chain entanglements with surfaces, while permanent adhesives make use of covalent cross-linking. Permanent bioadhesives are generated via a “mix to activate” process that facilitates hardening. While temporary bioadhesives make use of biological phenomenons like Stefan adhesion used by limpets and sea stars via suction/mucus-like slime. Other types of temporary bioadhesives use tacky and elastic secretions.

Market Trends for bioadhesive sealants as per Market Research tools

Artificially generally adhesives are noted to be sourced from petroleum derivatives which are generally volatile organic compounds that generate harmful emissions. Recycling as well as redmeditating petroleum-based adhesives are also noted to be a key industry concern due to which most production facilities are now shifting gears towards bio-based adhesives. Government legislation is noted to be another factor that is poised to bolster the growth dynamics associated with bioadhesives. Market research tools suggest that regulations based on the reduction of VOCs in adhesives can accelerate the adoption of bioadhesives across various commercial applications. The increased global shift towards green technology and the induction of concepts like circular economy are anticipated to be some of the main factors that bolster the market growth dynamics.

The market database states that increased research-based investment within the bioadhesives market is noted to be another parameter that is expected to drive the market growth dynamics. Some adhesives produced from marine organisms such as barnacles as well as muscles have been studied for over 40 years. They are noted to facilitate apparent stable adhesion to various surfaces under adverse aqueous conditions.

Shellac is noted to be one of the most popular bioadhesives in the market. It is a resin that is secreted from lady lac bugs on trees. Market research tools suggest that they are popularly noted to be extracted from regional segments in Asia, i.e. Thailand and India. The extract is processed to produce solid dry flakes that can be dissolved in alcohol to produce liquid shellac. It can be used as a tough natural primer and sanding bioadhesive sealant. Some of Shellac’s other functions are noted to be as an odor-blocker,tannin-blocker, stain, and high-gloss varnish.

Applications for Bioadhesives

Business Intelligence platforms suggest that bioadhesives that are manufactured from a commercial perspective have increased application in biomedical operations. As per business intelligence tools, they are generally biocompatible since bioadhesives are increasingly used in applications surrounding skin as well as body tissues. Some bioadhesives are also used in wet environments, underwater, as well as low-energy surfaces. They are also used to adhere to non-polar surfaces. The market for bioadhesives is also booming owing to the environmental and sustainability concerns associated with synthetic adhesives.

The medical bioadhesives market is noted to be in specialized drug delivery systems. They are noted to have the ability to localize drug delivery within the body thus enhancing the drug absorption process specific to the site. Effective drug delivery can be obtained from mussel adhesive protein which has similar mucoadhesion (adhesion of matter to mucus-lined surfaces is called mucoadhesion) properties to polycarbophil which is noted to be a synthetic hydrogel. When used in small quantities polycarbophil can serve useful in drug delivery applications.
