(US), and Greiner AG (Austria) are some of the leading players operating in the aerospace foams market. These players have adopted the strategies of expansions, acquisitions, new product launches, investments, new technology developments, partnerships, mergers, collaborations, and agreements to enhance their position in the market.

Liquid adhesives are adhesive materials that are in a liquid form at room temperature. They are usually based on polymers, resins, and monomers and are used in many industrial and consumer applications. Some of the most common uses for liquid adhesives include packaging and construction, furniture, automotive, and electrical and electronics. Liquid adhesives are also used to bond a wide variety of materials, including plastics, metals, wood, rubber, and fabrics. The demand for liquid adhesives continues to grow as manufacturers look for new ways to reduce costs, increase production efficiency, and improve product quality.

The global liquid adhesives market size is projected to grow from USD 35.8 billion in 2020 to USD 44.6 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period. The growing demand for liquid adhesives from end-use industries, such as paper, packaging, & related products, building & construction, medical and assembly & others, drives the liquid adhesives market. This demand has encouraged many companies to adopt various developmental strategies in the liquid adhesives industry to increase their presence in the market. The growth strategies, such as merger & acquisition and investment & expansion, were adopted by the players to increase their foothold and maintain sustained growth in the liquid adhesives market.

Liquid Adhesives are mainly used in paper, packaging & related products, building & construction, woodworking, consumer & DIY, automotive & transportation, leather & footwear, medical, assembly, etc. They are extensively used in the paper & packaging industry due to their ease of use and low cost when compared to conventional adhesives. They are in fluid form or state and have low viscosity. The wetting properties of these adhesives enable us to hold the substrate so that molecular contact between the substrate and adhesive is activated.

The market in APAC is projected to register high growth, and the trend is projected to continue during the forecast period. The growth of the market can be attributed to the growing population and urbanization in the region. The emerging economies, such as India, China, and South Korea, are investing in various industrial developments that are also driving the liquid adhesives market.

There are various small, medium, and large players operating in the market. Some of the major market players include Henkel AG (Germany), H.B. Fuller (US), Sika AG (Switzerland), Arkema (France), The 3M Company (US), Jowat SE (Germany), RPM International Inc. (US), Avery Dennison Corporation (US), Dymax Corporation (US), Permabond LLC (UK) and others.

Ballistic Composites are composite materials that are designed to be lightweight and strong enough to protect against ballistic impact. They are typically made by combining multiple layers of materials such as Kevlar, ceramics, plastics, and metals. These materials are designed to absorb and dissipate the energy of a projectile, reducing the risk of injury to the person wearing the composite material.

The global ballistic composites market size is expected to grow from USD 2.0 billion in 2022 to USD 3.1 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period. Increasing crime and terrorist activities are driving the demand for ballistic body and vehicle armor for use by political leaders, businesspeople, bureaucrats, high-profile athletes, entertainment celebrities, and others. As ballistic composite armor is lighter and meets the highest requirements of international standards for safety, there has been a surge in the demand for composite materials in personal protective clothing and transportation. Various companies are focusing on adding composite armor to vehicles designed for civilians, depending upon client needs and the desired protection level, composites can be added in doors, roofs, and floors as well as firewalls, pillars, posts, and other body panels.

This is attributed to the increasing demand for ballistic composites from the defense sector in the US and Canada. The US is the largest defense spender in the world and is investing heavily in modernizing its military infrastructure. This is expected to drive the demand for ballistic composites in the country. Additionally, Canada is also expected to increase its military spending over the forecast period, which will further drive the demand for ballistic composites in the region.

High ballistic resistance, lightweight, and durability have driven the market for ballistic composites in defense applications. On the other hand, the higher cost of ballistic composites compared to metals and alloys and the high requirement for customization for end-use applications are the major restraining factors in this market. However, several opportunities are identified in the ballistic fibers, which would help in the growth of the ballistic composites market. These opportunities include the development of low-cost and high-performance commercial ballistic fiber, for instance, M5. In order to achieve technical excellence, armor manufacturers are working with composites companies in the design stage of ballistic composites.

Companies operating in the ballistic composites market have strengthened their position in the global market by adopting expansions, partnerships, agreements, new product/technology launches, joint ventures, contracts, and mergers & acquisitions from 2018-2022. The major players active in the market are Honeywell International Inc (US), Koninklijke DSM N.V. (Netherlands), BAE Systems (UK), Royal Ten Cate (Netherlands), Morgan Advanced Materials (UK), DuPont de Nemours
