Animal Glue Market Analysis and Development Trends Report 2025
21St
January 2019 - Global
animal glue market is 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.
The industry faces a considerable challenge from bio based and
petroleum-based adhesives. Bio-based adhesives, which is composed of vegetable
oils, soy, and starch, not only preserves the environment by reducing carbon
footprint but also lowers the overall cost of production of these sealants.
Growing petroleum based sealant industry is likely to intercept with the growth
of this market as petroleum-based adhesive saves time during manufacturing of
directories and books.The market is segmented on the basis of application and
product. Application segment consists of binding, footwear, painting and food.
Footwear sub category can further include assembly and bonding of sole and
other parts related to footwear. Product segment can be categorized into rabbit
skin, bone, hide and fish glue.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to account for the largest share in the
global animal glue market. Increasing population in emerging economies coupled
with rapid development in the industrial sector including adhesives, paints,
and food & beverage industry are expected to increase product demand in the
region. Europe has a huge demand owing to the fact that European people are
generally fond of art and music and animal glue have the ability to fix paintings
and artifacts. North America is also estimated to witness favorable growth
owing to the increasing population coupled with higher disposable income
resulting in demand for paintings and creative materials industry. The industry
is highly consolidated with only a few players entertaining the market. Notable
companies include African Glue Industries and LD Davis Industries Inc.
