Display Bonding Adhesive Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Rising Popularity of Adhesives in the Automotive Sector - Adhesives help the transportation sector to boost security and energy efficiency. Heat shields, air filters, and other pieces can be attached to the engine block or other metal parts using adhesives, which leads to weight reduction, and increases vehicle rigidity. Moreover, nowadays, touchscreens are a standard component in many cars, which necessitates the use of high-performance optical bonding since it enables delicate touchscreen features that provide interior systems more control, and provide optical clarity and minimize reflection for enhanced visibility in automotive displays.
- Increasing Pharmaceutical Industry - In the healthcare sector, displays are now an essential component of active smart and intelligent packaging, which incorporates the use of sensors, tracking, and ePaper technologies to provide various functionalities. These technologies often require the need of display bonding adhesives to attach the display components to the smart packaging. According to estimates, the global pharmaceuticals market is anticipated to increase by over 5% by 2027, with a market value of more than USD 1430.
- Growing Demand for Wearable Technology- Wearable device components, including sensors, batteries, screens, and straps, are bonded together using a high-performance adhesive as it offers strong structural integrity, excellent performance in drops, shocks, and impacts, thermal stability, and moisture resistance.
- Rising Need for the Product from the Furniture Sector- The furniture sector focuses on innovation to meet the market trends, as a result, the demand for smart furniture is increasing. To integrate displays into smart furniture companies in the area are widely using display bonding adhesives to ensure stability and increase functionality.
Challenges
- Exorbitant Cost of Raw Materials - The high cost of raw materials required for the production of display bonding adhesives is one of the major factors predicted to slow down the market growth. Various raw materials such as resins, and fillers, are used in the production of bonding adhesives since they require specialized formulations. The cost of these raw materials keeps fluctuating which makes it difficult for the producer to acquire the raw materials and makes them switch to alternate options.
- Growing Advancements in Conventional Technologies Leading to Higher Adoption of Alternative Bonding Methods
- Stringent Regulatory Requirements Can Result in Higher Costs of Production

Display Bonding Adhesive Segmentation
Type (Optically Clear Adhesive, Liquid Optical Clear Adhesive)
The optically clear adhesive segment in the display bonding adhesive market is estimated to hold 55% of the revenue share in the coming years owing to the growing integration of touchscreen. With the advancement of technology, touch screens are widely integrated into modern displays. Optical clear adhesives (OCAs) or "display adhesives" are made specifically to join display components together and provide enormous adhesion properties between the display panel and the touch sensor. For every LCD and OLED that needs a GG or OGS touchscreen, optical bonding is the process of laminating, where a layer of resin is applied between the glass to ensure seamless integration and optimal touch sensitivity.
Additionally, the Liquid-based bonding technique, known as liquid optically-clear adhesive (LOCA), is utilized owing to its strong overall performance and high degree of impact resistance and is used for many display screens, touch panels, and other lens bonding applications to offer strong bond holds.
Application (LCD Displays, Touch Screens, Aerospace Displays, Medical Displays, Industrial Displays)
Display bonding adhesive market from the LCD displays segment is set to garner a notable share shortly. owing to the increasing need for adhesives in LCDs. In the creation of liquid-crystal displays, adhesives are used as a key component to improve the optical and durability properties. Display bonding adhesives are used as an interface between the layers of the LCD monitor display which helps in improving the impact resistance and screen clarity. As a base material for display optical performance, these adhesives have been employed to maximize the amount of light that reaches liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and their ability to display accurate color, and brightness, and withstand vibrations. Besides this, they also decrease the chance of display failure making them reliable across various applications.
