The report states that fragmentation of global market will be a challenge for the market. The global pressure sensitive adhesives market is highly competitive and fragmented due to the presence of many global players. Most of the market vendors operating at the global level are small and medium enterprises, and their business models differ from that of well-established corporations.

Major vendors are concerned with value-added activities, such as material production, high-volume supplies, and product innovation. This raises the cost of production per unit for these vendors. Further, price wars are likely to increase as domestic and local vendors provide alternatives at much lower prices. Major corporations risk low profitability as they emulate the strategy of smaller ones to maintain their market share, affecting their investments in R&D.
