The glass bonding adhesives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.44 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for lightweight vehicle components, expansion of smart glass installations, growing use of adhesive bonding over mechanical fasteners, rising investments in electronics miniaturization, increased focus on durable bonding solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of structural glass bonding solutions, rising adoption of uv and led curing adhesives, growing demand from automotive lightweighting, expansion of electronics assembly applications, enhanced focus on high-strength transparent bonds.

The expanding automotive industry is expected to be the key driver of the glass bonding adhesive market. The automotive industry refers to the sector involved in designing, manufacturing, retailing, and maintaining motor vehicles. Glass bonding adhesive supports this industry by being used in vehicle assembly bonding processes, as manufacturers increasingly incorporate sandwich panels, fiberglass composites, and advanced polymers into vehicle designs to reduce weight and enhance structural integrity, durability, and thermal stability. For instance, in May 2024, according to data published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, SUVs accounted for 48% of global car sales and reached a new record in 2023, underscoring their continued popularity in the automotive market. Therefore, the expanding automotive industry is driving the growth of the glass bonding adhesive market.

Major companies operating in the glass bonding adhesive market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as advanced bonding technologies, to meet the rising demand for stronger adhesion, faster curing, and improved performance in precision assembly applications. Advanced bonding technology offers superior bond strength, enhanced durability, and faster processing than conventional adhesives, supporting the increasing use of high-precision components in automotive, electronics, and optical systems. For instance, in January 2023, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, a Germany-based adhesives and sealants company, introduced Loctite 3296, a new adhesive for lens bonding in ADAS sensors. Loctite 3296 is a dual-cure UV and thermal adhesive designed to meet various assembly requirements, providing a deep cure within seconds of UV exposure and enabling low post-cure temperatures, making it ideal for precise camera module assembly.

In May 2023, Sika AG, a Switzerland-based chemicals company, acquired MBCC Group for an undisclosed sum.
