Construction Adhesives Market Report 2026

The construction adhesives market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $12.95 billion in 2025 to $14.15 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of residential and commercial construction, rising use of adhesives in interior applications, increasing demand for waterproofing solutions, growth of infrastructure development projects, availability of advanced polymer adhesives.

The construction adhesives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.85 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on sustainable construction materials, rising adoption of prefabricated building systems, expansion of green building standards, growing demand for high-strength adhesives, increasing investments in urban infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of high-performance bonding solutions, rising use of eco-friendly adhesive formulations, increased demand for lightweight construction materials, expansion of modular construction practices, enhanced focus on long-term structural durability.

The increase in construction activities is expected to propel the growth of the construction adhesives market going forward. Construction adhesives are specialized bonding agents designed to join a wide range of building materials, providing structural strength, durability, and resistance to environmental conditions. The demand for construction adhesives is rising as builders and contractors increasingly prefer solutions that reduce reliance on mechanical fasteners, save time, and enhance project efficiency. These adhesives improve construction quality by ensuring strong bonds, reducing material wastage, and supporting faster assembly of structures, making them essential in modern building practices. For instance, in August 2024, data from the U.S. Census Bureau, a U.S.-based federal statistical agency, indicated that the pace of new residential construction had slowed compared to previous years. In July 2024, there were 1.54 million housing starts, a 6.5% decrease from the previous month and a 20% decrease compared to July 2023. Therefore, the increase in construction activities is fueling the construction adhesives market growth.

Major companies operating in the construction adhesives market are focusing on the development of bio-based adhesives such as bio-based polyurethane structural adhesives to enhance load-bearing timber construction performance and sustainability. Bio-based polyurethane structural adhesive refers to a type of adhesive formulated from renewable biological sources, designed specifically to bond timber and other construction materials for load-bearing applications. For instance, in November 2023, Henkel, a Germany-based specialty chemicals company, introduced its first bio-based polyurethane adhesives for load-bearing timber construction: Loctite HB S ECO and Loctite CR 821 ECO. Loctite HB S ECO is a one-component PUR adhesive with 63% bio-based content and zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs), while Loctite CR 821 ECO is a two-component PUR resin containing 71% bio-based material. Both adhesives provide high mechanical strength, excellent durability, and performance comparable to conventional fossil-based adhesives, making them ideal for eco-friendly structural timber applications and reducing CO₂ emissions in construction projects.

In June 2023, Holcim AG, a Switzerland-based building materials company, acquired Minerales y Agregados for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Holcim aims to expand its solutions and product offerings in Latin America and strengthen its presence in the construction and agriculture materials sector. Minerales y Agregados S.A is a Guatemala-based company specializing in the production of dry mortars, adhesives, and related solutions for construction and agricultural applications, supporting enhanced product performance and sustainable building practices in the region.
