In Korea, traditional adhesive applications such as footwear, textiles, construction, furniture showed a weak growth trend, growth rate of about 2%. However, high-performance applications such as adhesives in the electrical and electronic sectors (mainly acrylics, epoxy, polyurethanes, silicones or other functional sealants) showed strong growth trends of about 8%. Adhesives in packaging and composite applications, such as acrylics, pressure-sensitive adhesives, hot melts, etc., performed well in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food packaging industries, with a growth rate of 12%, especially in the application of pressure-sensitive adhesives in the electronics industry has significantly increased. High-performance adhesives used in the automotive and electronics sectors are often controlled by large multinationals, but more and more local adhesive manufacturers in South Korea are increasingly competing in this area and have strong research and development capabilities.
Korea is now more focused on adhesive and pressure-sensitive adhesive research and development. Research and development in the field of electronic appliances mainly focuses on high-performance ultra-thin thin film with pressure-sensitive glue, flexible board or rotating display adhesive, transparent electromagnetic shield film (TES) with pressure-sensitive glue, non-corrosive optical combination touch screen panel with pressure-sensitive glue, optical transparent glue (OCA) and so on. For the automotive sector, research and development is mainly focused on: structural adhesives, temperature-resistant adhesives. For the construction field, the main research focuses on durable structural adhesives and reinforced concrete adhesives. For the field of medicine, research and development is currently mainly used in bonding tissue bio-based adhesives, mainly used in nerve, bone, dental bonding.
korea's investment and research and development in raw materials and intermediates is expected to increase in the coming years to further refine adhesive formulations. At the same time, in technology development, Korean enterprises will focus on environmentally friendly adhesives, water-based emulsions, hot melts and reactive adhesives and other high-performance products to better meet the needs of leading industries such as electricity, automotive and so on.: Encouraging smart green innovation and adding value to products
In Asia, Taiwan has been an important producer and exporter of adhesives. Overall, sales and prices of adhesives in Taiwan were fairly stable, with sales of adhesives growing at an average annual rate of 1.41% in 2013-2017.
present, Taiwan attaches great importance to environmental protection, for this aspect of the control is also very strict, different departments issued relevant environmental regulations for adhesive environmental control. Taiwan's resin and adhesive manufacturers will focus more on environmentally friendly and high value-added adhesive development, such as reactive hot melts, water-based adhesives, bio-based resins, high-tech and automated operating applications. In Taiwan, sustainable materials including water-based, reactive and hot-melt adhesives accounted for 69% of the overall adhesive sales market, and the market share of water-based adhesives remained the largest, from 33% to 38.7% in 2016. The fastest growing segments of Taiwan's adhesive market in 2016 were electrical and electronic appliances, paper and book binding segments.
Taiwan's current policy focuses on encouraging innovation in smart technologies, green energy, smart manufacturing, people's livelihood and services to help the industry optimize its added value and enhance its position in the global market.
