- All the abovementioned factors indicate a positive outlook for growth in market demand over the coming years.
North America to Dominate the Market
- North American countries are expected to dominate the UV-curable adhesives market. In recent times, there have been growing investments in semiconductor production in the United States and Canada, which has propelled demand for UV-curable adhesives in the region.
- In August 2024, the US Department of Commerce announced a USD 1.6 billion investment to enhance semiconductor production at Texas Instruments. Once fully operational, TI's Sherman facilities are projected to churn out over 100 million chips daily.
- In July 2024, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) unveiled a USD 120 million investment into the FABrIC (Fabrication of Integrated Components for the Internet's Edge) network. This five-year initiative, with a total commitment exceeding USD 220 million, is set to strengthen Canada's semiconductor manufacturing and commercialization landscape.
- The medical industry has been another major consumer of UV-curable adhesives in the region in recent times. UV-curable adhesives are used in a wide range of medical applications, including syringe assembly and electronic components in medical devices.
- North America boasts the largest medical devices industry globally, spearheaded by the United States. In recent times, significant investments have been made in new healthcare manufacturing facilities across the country.
- In November 2023, Eli Lilly, a US pharmaceutical company, invested around USD 2.5 billion to build a new pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Germany for producing injectable pharmaceutical products and medical devices, including those for diabetes and obesity. The construction began in 2024, and the facility is expected to be operational by 2027.
- Such developments are expected to boost the demand for UV-curable adhesives in pharmaceutical products and medical device manufacturing.
- All such factors are expected to boost the demand in the North American UV-curable adhesives market during the forecast period.
