In 2018 and 2019, Rising Raw Materials and Transportation Costs Impact Adhesives Prices around the world. Many manufacturers of adhesives, such as waterbased, hot melt and polyurethanes, are increasing prices
Waterbased adhesives and hot melts that are used for packaging for e.g. Consumer Goods will in general have a price increase.
A price action is worldwide effective due to the industry of base chemicals for adhesives. Raw materials for adhesives are experiencing both supply constraints and a various cost increases in the feedstock chain
