The growing automotive industry is anticipated to be a significant driver of the glass bonding adhesive market. This industry encompasses the design, manufacturing, wholesale, retail, and maintenance of motor vehicles. Glass bonding adhesives play a crucial role in the automotive sector by facilitating the vehicle assembly bonding process, as manufacturers increasingly incorporate sandwich panels, fiberglass composites, and advanced polymers into their vehicle designs to reduce weight, enhance structural integrity, and improve durability and thermal stability. For example, in May 2024, data from the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, indicated that SUVs, accounting for 48% of global car sales, reached a record high in 2023, further cementing their popularity in the automotive market. Sales of SUVs in developed economies exceeded 20 million in 2022, marking a 50% market share for the first time, with over 360 million SUVs on the roads worldwide. Consequently, the expanding automotive industry is propelling the growth of the glass bonding adhesive market.

The expansion of the construction industry is expected to bolster the growth of the glass bonding adhesives market. This industry encompasses the planning, design, and execution of building projects, including residential, commercial, and infrastructure developments. Glass bonding adhesives are essential for enhancing structural integrity, ensuring durability, and enabling design innovations in construction applications. The rising preference for modern, visually appealing architectural designs that frequently utilize large amounts of glass further drives the demand for high-performance bonding adhesives. For example, in March 2023, data from Oxford Economics, a UK-based economic information services firm, indicated that the value of construction work is anticipated to increase from $9.7 trillion in 2022 to $13.9 trillion by 2037, supported by significant construction markets in China, the U.S., and India. Thus, the global growth of the construction industry will aid the expansion of the 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 May 2023, Sika AG, a Switzerland-based chemicals company, acquired MBCC Group for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to enhance Sika's product offerings in the construction chemicals sector, with a focus on innovation and sustainability while expanding its market presence across various areas, including buildings, infrastructure, and underground construction. MBCC Group is a Germany-based company specializing in construction chemicals and solutions, including glass bonding adhesives.
