Animal Glue Industry Application and Outlook Report From 2016-2022

(MENAFN Editorial) iCrowdNewswire - Dec 8, 2017

Globalis anticipated to exhibit significant growth over the forecast period owing to escalating demand for adhesives. Animal glue is an adhesive which is generated by extended heating of connective tissues. It has been widely used until the emergence of synthetic glues. It is an organic artifact used primarily for domestic applications such as paintings, restoring objects, manuscripts, and other varied artifacts. It is also used for building of pipe organ, restoration of antiques, repairing piano and lutherie.

There is a wide variety of animal glue available in the market including collagen-based, gelatin, isinglass, rabbit skin, and bone glues. Depending on their innate properties they are used for various applications. For example, collagen-based glue, serving as an adhesive, consolidants, and binders, is extensively used for the preservation of artifacts. Other forms of glue include gelatin, isinglass, rabbit skin, fish, hide and bone glues. Gelatin is widely used in pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic and photography. Hide glue joints can be repairable and reversible. Rabbit skin glue is far more bendable when it is drying compared to hide glues. It is majorly used in binding, footwear, painting and food. These are majorly wood working adhesives. There are some significant disadvantages of these glues.

For example, hide glue has short open time, thermal limitations and is vulnerable to micro-organisms whereas rabbit-skin glue is much more flexible when it's dry than hide glues. It is used by painters for sizing or priming of oil in canvases. Rabbit-skin glue is used as a component for the preparation of compo and gesso and in bookbinding and footwear as well. The industry is poised for growth over the next seven years owing to the aforementioned applications and uses.

Mounting demand for paintings, artifacts and various other creative objects owing to the increasing disposable income in developed and emerging economies is expected to propel demand. Due to the presence of few players in the market, there is a limited supply of animal glue, thus, the demand is expected to rise owing to this huge gap in demand and supply.

The animal glue market faces major hindrance due to the fact that it harms paper, wood, and artifacts where it is used. Further, too much of humidity and change in temperature harms the materials. The market is impregnated with controversy as this industry encourages the slaughter of cattle, horses and other animals for the production of hide glues which pose a major challenge to industry growth. In the Western countries like Canada, slaughter of horses for the production of hide and hoof glues is seen negatively, which negatively impacts demand.

The growth is further challenged due to the replacement of this material for other synthetic sealants which can be used in a wide variety of end-use industry such as coating, lamination, facades, insulation, flooring and panel lamenting applications. Enhanced volatility in the prices of raw materials coupled with growing environmental concerns is anticipated to prompt companies to manufacture bio-based adhesive, thus diminishing the revenue share of animal glues. Stringent government regulations paired with standards enforced by EPA are projected to restrain growth over the next few years.
