The Global Vegetable Glue market is expected to grow from USD 52.2 billion in 2021 to USD 72.5 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 4.2% during the projection period 2022-2029. The increasing demand for vegetable glue in paper and packaging is owing to the growth in the retail industry. Furthermore, as there is growth in the construction industry, the demand for wooden work, such as veneer and plywood work, increases the demand for vegetable glue.
Vegetable glue is a glue made from vegetable material, especially by treating starch from cassava root. The starch used for making vegetable glue must contain alkali material in it. It is widely used in plywood and veneer products. The starch from corn, wheat, tapioca, etc., is boiled and treated with alkali to produce a clear and viscous liquid which is called vegetable glue. Vegetable glue is a liquid that is stored at room temperature and does not need to be heated while used. As vegetable glue remains soluble in water, even after drying, vegetable glue can be used for wallpaper paste. Vegetable glue is also called starch adhesives. It is widely used for paper products, paper bags (like grocery bags), corrugated boxes, wallpaper paste, tube winding (like a paper-towel roll), labeling, laminating, and envelopes. The increasing demand for vegetable glue from the packaging industry is expected to drive the market's growth. Furthermore, the market is driven by increasing governmental policies and legislation to reduce environmental pollution and consumer awareness of biodegradable products.
