The tackifier market is estimated to be valued at US$ 4.3 billion in 2024.  The demand for tackifier is anticipated to rise at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2024 to 2034. The market valuation is forecasted to be US$ 7.3 billion by 2034.

Tackifiers are majorly used as part of adhesives, enhancing the effectiveness of the product. As the industries that employ adhesives are developing, the demand for tackifiers is also increasing. Several industries, including automobile, pharmaceutical, and publishing, widely employ adhesives in their manufacturing processes, driving sales of tackifiers.

Among all the industries, the rising construction industry is expected to fuel growth in the tackifier market. The use of adhesives, especially hot-melt adhesives, in construction is paving the way for the increasing adoption of tackifiers. The growth of the construction industry, both in developed and emerging economies, is thus beneficial to the market.

While adhesives with tackifiers are common, non-tackifier adhesives are growing in popularity, too. Tackifiers with resins are being looked down upon by eco-friendly end-users, which acts as a restraint for the market. The market also has supply chain problems, as the price of raw materials is often unpredictable.

“To combat the negativity associated with resins, tackifier manufacturers are making products that are biobased. Thus, tackifiers made from pine and poly (β-pinene) are growing in popularity. Biobased tackifiers represent a significant opportunity in the market,” says an analyst at FMI.
