Solvent-Based Inks Market Development Factors: Which Trends Are Supporting Demand?
The expanding construction sector is projected to propel the growth of the solvent-based adhesives market going forward. Construction encompasses the process of planning, designing, assembling, and building physical structures, facilities, or infrastructure. Solvent-based adhesives are widely utilized in the construction industry to provide strong and durable bonds, high initial tack, versatility, and resistance to temperature, water, and chemicals. The growth in construction activity is driven by expanding urbanization, infrastructure development, and government investments in both public and private projects. For instance, in November 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), a UK-based statistical authority, the value of new construction work in Great Britain grew by 4.2%, reaching a record £139,029 million, reflecting expansion in both private and public infrastructure projects. Therefore, the rising construction industry is driving the growth of the solvent-based adhesives market.
