Construction Adhesives Market Report 2025

The construction adhesives market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $12.06 billion in 2024 to $13.1 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to construction and infrastructure projects, building renovations and repairs, growing need for green building and sustainability, increasing regulatory compliance, and urbanization and population growth.

The construction adhesives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.87 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing digital construction workflows, circular economy practices, construction safety standards, emerging market growth, and growing adaptation to changing climate conditions. Major trends in the forecast period include high-performance and specialty adhesives, innovative prefabrication and modular construction, introduction of sustainable and low-voc adhesives, innovative technological integration, and smart building technologies.

The rise in construction activities is projected to drive the growth of the construction adhesives market in the future. Construction involves assembling materials to create large structures. The growing construction activities for both residential and non-residential buildings are contributing to the expansion of the construction adhesives market. For example, data from the U.S. Census Bureau, a federal statistical agency in the United States, revealed in August 2024 that the pace of new residential construction has significantly slowed compared to previous years. In July 2024, there were 1.54 million housing starts, representing a 6.5% decrease from the previous month and a 20% decline compared to July 2023. Therefore, the increase in construction activities is driving the growth of the construction adhesives market.

The increasing investment in the infrastructure sector is anticipated to drive the growth of the construction adhesives market in the future. The infrastructure sector encompasses the physical and organizational systems and facilities that support and enable various facets of modern society, including transportation, energy, communication, and public services. Investment in this sector contributes to the construction adhesives market by creating opportunities for the development of innovative construction methods, materials, and technologies. For example, a report published in July 2024 by the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, indicated that total government investment in infrastructure rose by 9.6% in 2022, reaching £26 billion in current prices compared to 2021. Therefore, the growing investment in the infrastructure sector is propelling the growth of the construction adhesives market.

Construction companies are increasingly incorporating bio-based adhesives into their construction activities. Growing awareness of environmental issues and the depletion of fossil resources has spurred the development of bio-based adhesives, which have a low carbon footprint and adhere effectively to various substrates. These bio-based adhesives are made from renewable, eco-friendly materials and possess advantageous mechanical and chemical properties that enhance their efficiency. For example, in March 2023, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, a chemicals company based in Germany, launched its new LOCTITE® HHD 5000, a high-performance bio-based polyurethane reactive (PUR) hot melt adhesive.

Leading companies in the construction adhesives market are developing Nuplaviva™ to enhance their global presence and achieve a competitive advantage. Nuplaviva™ aims to reduce dependence on fossil carbon and promote a more circular economy by facilitating incremental and beneficial sustainable changes. For example, in 2023, Bostik SA expanded its bio-based adhesive portfolio with the introduction of Nuplaviva™ i90, which contains 90% renewable content. This new hot-melt adhesive is specifically designed to serve as a wetness indicator for absorbent hygiene products, such as diapers and adult incontinence items.

In a strategic move in July 2022, H.B. Fuller Company, a prominent US-based manufacturer and distributor of sealants, adhesives, and specialty chemical products, acquired Fourny NV for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aligns with H.B. Fuller's plan to enhance its manufacturing capabilities, product line, and workforce in Europe, with a particular focus on developing industries such as roofing and building envelopes. Additionally, the acquisition aims to improve supply chain management in the European region. Fourny NV, the acquired company, is a Belgium-based formulator specializing in industrial adhesives.

Construction adhesives play a crucial role in various applications such as waterproofing, roofing, carpet laying, cladding, and insulation within the construction industry. These adhesives are designed to permanently bind diverse materials, providing enhanced efficiency and design flexibility. They are commonly employed in attaching drywall, tiles, holdings, and fixtures to walls, ceilings, and floors during construction activities.

The primary types of construction adhesives include water-based, solvent-based, hot-melt, and reactive adhesives. Water-based adhesives are known for their fast action and the ability to create high-strength bonds in construction applications. They utilize water as a solvent to form the coating. Various resin types, including acrylic adhesive, polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl acetate (PVA), and epoxy, are employed in construction adhesives, catering to a range of applications in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
