          (EMAILWIRE.COM, March 09, 2022 ) Low VOC adhesive market size is forecast to reach US$59.2 billion by 2026, after growing at a CAGR of 6.1% during 2021-2026. Having been made aware of the potential consequences of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) consumers are demanding more eco-friendly products. This is the main driving factor behind the growth of the low VOC adhesive market. Once an adhesive is applied, it cures by evaporation of VOCs. Commonly used VOCs include formaldehyde, toluene, mineral spirits and xylene. This is what gives off the characteristic odor. Adhesives labelled low VOC strive to reduce the total VOC content. They meet all the regulations and have the least negative impact on indoor air quality. Low VOC adhesives are used across almost all industries. Furniture assembly and upholstery, packaging, carpeting, construction and automotive are some of the key industries where they are extensively used. Another contributing factor to the growth of the market is increasing government regulations. Adhesive manufacturers have to strive to keep up with the changing regulations on the amount of permissible VOC. Hence there is a high demand for low VOC adhesives.

          COVID-19 Impact

          When the pandemic hit, in an effort to curb the spread of the virus, lockdowns, curfews and travel restrictions were placed. This has had a major impact on most of industries especially the transportation sector. The movement was restricted with advisories such as, ‘travel only if necessary’. In certain places public transport came to a complete standstill and flights were grounded. When lockdown was lifted it was of importance to maintain social distancing by limiting the number of commuters and also keeping the transportation system operational with a skeleton workforce to ensure that the workers risk of infection is reduced. Measures in place such as online classes and work from home have also been a contributing factor in reduced traveling. The freight segment has had a mixed short-term effect in terms of transportation demand. There is a surge in demand for truck drivers in the transportation of essential goods. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, there was 40% to 60% increase in products being moved into grocery stores and warehouses and in US since COVID spread started. But travel restrictions, border closures and state of emergencies have affected the supply chain demand allowing only items deemed essential. This has impacted the low VOC adhesives market.

          Low VOC Adhesive Market – Drivers

          Health and Environmental Effects

          If a person is exposed to a high concentration of VOCs in the air, they may experience breathing difficulties, eye, nose or throat irritation, or even headaches. Individuals with pre-existing respiratory problems, such as asthma, may be more sensitive to these volatile compounds. The effects of long-term exposure to VOCs can be more devastating. In fact, there is a known link between exposure of industrial workers to high levels of benzene and formaldehyde and increased cancer rates. VOCs are responsible for numerous problems of pollution and global warming. VOCs evaporate on a near-constant basis, both when actively used and when stored. This evaporation contributes to the formation of ground-level ozone or smog that is extremely irritating and aggressive to living things. In addition to the health problems mentioned above, ground-level ozone also has a strong negative impact on plants, biodiversity and ecosystems. In addition, VOCs are one of the causes of acid rain, which is responsible for damaging lakes, rivers, forests, soils, fish and wildlife populations and buildings. Hence, switching to low VOC products is good for human health as well as environment. This is the main driver behind the growth of the low VOC adhesives market.

          Green Buildings

          With increased interest in green living, it is essential to use materials that have a little or no effect on the environment.
