Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/t3ztrc/pressure) has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the International Pressure Sensitive Adhesives Market - Includes Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering.

The increasing need for weight reduction of end-user products, high bonding solutions, sustainable developments, growing tapes demand, rising GDP and purchasing power, will drive the global pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) market to $8.4 billion by 2018. India and China lead the world in terms of usage of PSA due to heavy industrialization in these countries, making it the biggest market for adhesives. These markets are expected to experience highest revenue growth during the next five years.

Rising applications, current & emerging applications, and an increase in tapes and labels demand are the factors driving growth in the PSA market. In addition, the demand for PSA in applications such as RFID, clean room label, etc. is also high. The factors hindering the growth of this market are the fluctuating cost of raw materials, lack of technology infrastructure in developing countries, and huge investment in R&D.

The market is growing slowly in Europe and will continue to grow at significant rate in the Asia-Pacific region. Asia-Pacific region's demand is driven by the countries such as China, the fastest growing country in global PSA market. The PSA market is still in infancy stage in African markets. However, this region is experiencing high growth on account of increased infrastructure spending.
