The South America Bioadhesive Market is expected to grow from US$252.934 million in 2025 to US$369.397 million in 2030, at a CAGR of 7.87%.
Bioadhesives are glues made from biological materials like gelatin, starch, or cellulose, which are naturally occurring polymeric compounds having adhesive properties. Under a number of circumstances, they are frequently used to hold various materials together and prevent their separation. They are also employed to facilitate adhesion between cells, between an organism and external surfaces, and between living and non-living elements of an organism. Bioadhesives are becoming more and more well-liked since they are more environmentally friendly than synthetic adhesives. The end-use sectors for the adhesives include manufacturing, packaging & paper, medical, and wood, among others.
Due to the features and physical properties of adhesives and sealants, the building and construction sector accounts for a large portion of their consumption, making it the market's main end-user category. They are utilized in a variety of settings, including HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), concrete, joint cement, resilient flooring, roofing, fixed window frames, etc. Growing construction activity in nations like Brazil, Colombia, Chile, and Peru is probably going to fuel the demand for bio-based adhesives in the region.
The increasing applications of bioadhesives across a variety of end-use sectors are the primary drivers driving the market expansion. The rise is attributed to the expansion of packaging applications in pharmaceutical packaging. Bioadhesives are quickly displacing conventional invasive wound closure techniques, such as surgical sutures, staples, and wires, in the healthcare industry due to their antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, enhanced wound healing, and leakage prevention properties. They are also utilized in skin-bonded monitoring systems, wound care dressing, and transdermal medication delivery.
