Glass Bonding Adhesives Global Market Report 2024

The glass bonding adhesives market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.14 billion in 2023 to $3.4 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the expansion of the automotive industry, the rise of renewable energy projects, a growing demand for aesthetic designs, an increased utilization of glass in furniture, the manufacturing of medical devices, and heightened environmental concerns.

The glass bonding adhesives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.71 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the adoption of electric vehicles, the increasing use of wearables, the expansion of the aerospace industry, the growth of e-commerce, rapid urbanization, and the implementation of energy-efficient building standards. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the adoption of UV-curing adhesives, the use of high-performance structural adhesives, the emergence of hybrid adhesive technologies, the development of customized formulations tailored to specific industries, the integration of digitalization and automation in manufacturing processes, and the deployment of 5G technology.

The glass bonding adhesive market is poised for growth, driven by the expanding automotive industry. This industry involves various activities, including designing, manufacturing, wholesale, retailing, and maintaining motor vehicles. Glass bonding adhesives play a crucial role in vehicle assembly bonding processes, particularly as automakers increasingly incorporate sandwich panels, fiberglass composites, and advanced polymers into their designs. This enhances vehicle attributes such as structural integrity, longevity, and thermal stability. For example, in November 2022, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) reported a 7.4% increase in the UK's car production to 69,524 units compared to previous years. Notably, over 81% of these automobiles were exported, with major shipments to the US, Japan, South Korea, and Australia. Hence, the growth of the glass bonding adhesive market is directly linked to the expanding automotive industry.

The glass bonding adhesives market is also expected to benefit from the growth of the construction industry. This sector encompasses planning, design, and execution of building projects across residential, commercial, and infrastructure development. Glass bonding adhesives contribute significantly to structural integrity, durability, and design innovations in construction applications. The demand for high-performance bonding adhesives is further fueled by the increasing preference for modern and aesthetically pleasing architectural designs, often incorporating extensive use of glass. For instance, Statistics Canada reported a 0.4% increase in investment in new construction to $20.3 billion in April 2023, with a 3.4% rise in non-residential spending to $5.9 billion. Additionally, the US Census Bureau noted a 13.8% increase in privately owned housing units approved by building permits in February 2023. This, in turn, supports the growth of the global glass bonding adhesives market.

An emerging trend in the glass bonding adhesive market is the advancement in bonding technology, with major companies focusing on developing innovative products to strengthen their market position. For example, in January 2023, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA introduced Loctite 3296, a dual-cure adhesive designed for lens bonding in ADAS sensors. This adhesive combines UV and thermal curing characteristics, making it suitable for assembly operations requiring low post-cure temperatures and high cure depth after brief exposure to UV light. This innovation addresses the precision needs of assembling camera module components.

Major companies are also launching new products to sustain their position in the market. In May 2022, DINOL introduced an upgraded 30-minute safe-drive-away glass bonding adhesive, Dinitrol 9100 HD, replacing the previous Dinitrol 9100. This adhesive, used in vehicle construction for new glazing and repair, reduces waiting time before driving. It is versatile, suitable for various glass and surfaces, making it applicable across a wide range of applications.

In April 2021, Sika AG acquired Hamatite, a Japanese company specializing in glass bond adhesives. This move aims to expand Sika AG's product range for sealing and bonding solutions in the Japanese construction sector, reinforcing its market presence in Japan. Hamatite, known for its hot melt adhesives for windshields and headlamps, enhances Sika AG's capabilities in the glass bonding adhesive market.
