Global Hot Glue Market Report

The global demand for Hot Glue Market is presumed to reach the market size of nearly USD XX MN by 2030 from USD XX MN in 2022 with a CAGR of XX% under the study period 2023 - 2030.

Hot glue / hot melt adhesive, or thermoplastic adhesive, is an adhesive applied in a molten state and solidifies upon cooling to create a bond. Hot glue is typically made from a combination of polymers, resins, and additives that are melted in a specialized hot glue gun or applicator. The glue gun heats the solid glue sticks and melts them, allowing the adhesive to flow in a liquid form. The hot glue is then applied to the desired surface, where it quickly solidifies as it cools and forms a strong bond.
