Escalating Sales of Smartphones to Drive Market
A surge in the usage of electronic components is one of the prime reasons behind the flourishing electronics adhesives industry. Electronic component find applications in consumer electronics, automotives, imaging devices, medical devices, and aircraft, and this is driving the demand for electronics adhesives. The trend of miniaturization and growing use of connected devices has also benefitted the industry. Some of the other factors boosting the market include growth in disposable income, extensive use of automated appliances, and changing lifestyle.
