Global Geckskin Market

Geckskin is a new super-adhesive based on the mechanics of gecko feet. Geckskin is inspired from the gecko lizard which can hold nine pounds of weight on a smooth wall. Geckskin is composed of with soft elastomers, such as polyurethane or polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and stiff fabrics?such as carbon fibre or Kevlar.

The key innovation of Geckskin is the integration of a soft elastomer (the pad) with a stiff fabric (the skin), allowing the pad to drape over a surface to maximize contact. The skin of the device is woven into a synthetic tendon which in turn yields a design that plays a key role in maintaining stiffness and rotational freedom. The end result is an adhesive device that is powerful and leaves no residue.

Market Dynamics

Geckskin adhesive devices are designed to provide maximum adhesive capacity and extreme re-usability. Geckskin is washable and long-lasting. Research is going on to create 100% renewable forms of Geckskin has been created. Beyond its impressive sticking ability, Geckskin devise are easily removable. They can be released with negligible effort and reused many times with no loss of effectiveness. For these reasons, this innovation is a significant step forward towards a more environmentally friendly approach towards adhesives.

Market Segmentation

On the basis of application, the geckskin market can be segmented into Building and construction, Paper and packaging, Transportation, Leather and footwear and Furniture. During 2015, the building and construction segment dominated this market and is anticipated to retain its dominant market position until the end of 2020. Much of this growth can be attributed to the growth of the construction industry in emerging countries such as India and China.

North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW) hold the major market shares of the Geckskin. The Rest of the World segment consists Latin America and the Middle East & Africa. North America and Asia Pacific region hold most of the shares of the global market.
