PUR Hot-Melt Adhesives Market 2024

The PUR hot-melt adhesives market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.04 billion in 2023 to $5.41 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to several key factors, including the expansion of the packaging industry, rising demand for durable and high-performance adhesives, growth in the consumer goods sector, increased investment in research and development, and the expansion of e-commerce.

The PUR hot-melt adhesives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.18 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing demand for environmentally friendly adhesives, a rising need for PUR hot-melt adhesives in the automotive sector, and a growing reliance on solvent-based adhesives. Key trends expected to shape this period include technological advancements, the development of eco-friendly adhesives, the emergence of multifunctional adhesives, the integration of smart technologies, and the growing popularity of water-based adhesives.

The growth of the PUR hot-melt adhesives market is being driven by the increasing construction activities globally. The construction industry, which involves planning, designing, building, maintaining, and operating physical structures and infrastructure, is experiencing rising demand due to factors such as urbanization, infrastructure development, sustainability initiatives, and renovation projects. PUR hot-melt adhesives are gaining traction within the sector due to their ability to form strong, durable bonds that can withstand structural stress and environmental challenges. For example, the US Census Bureau reported in September 2024 that construction spending in July 2024 reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $2.16 trillion, up 6.7% (±1.8%) from $2.02 trillion in July 2023. This rise in construction activity is fueling the demand for PUR hot-melt adhesives.

Leading companies in the PUR hot-melt adhesives market are introducing innovative solutions, such as advanced woodworking adhesive technologies, to provide stronger and more durable bonds, enhancing the longevity and integrity of wood products. These specialized adhesives are designed to securely bond wood and wood-based materials in furniture, cabinetry, and other applications. For instance, in May 2022, Bostik, a French adhesive manufacturer, introduced the SG6518 and SG6520 adhesives as part of its Supergrip line. These advanced hot-melt polyurethane reactive adhesives (HMPUR) are designed for edge banding in woodworking, offering superior bonding strength, water resistance, and durability, making them suitable for high-moisture environments and ensuring the longevity of finished products.

In November 2023, COIM, an Italy-based chemical company, completed the acquisition of Neoflex SL for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is aligned with COIM's strategy to strengthen its position in the polyurethane adhesives market and expand its product portfolio. By acquiring new assets and capabilities, COIM aims to diversify its offerings and better serve the evolving needs of the adhesives industry. Neoflex SL is a Spain-based manufacturer specializing in reactive hot-melt polyurethane adhesives.

Polyurethane reactive (PUR) hot-melt adhesives are a specialized type of adhesive derived from reactive polyurethane prepolymers. These adhesives are solid at room temperature but transition to a liquid state when heated, allowing for application in a molten form. After application, PUR adhesives solidify upon cooling and undergo further curing through a chemical reaction with moisture in the environment, resulting in strong, flexible, and durable bonds.

The primary categories of PUR hot-melt adhesives include non-reactive PUR hot-melt adhesives and reactive PUR hot-melt adhesives. Non-reactive PUR hot-melt adhesives solely rely on the cooling process for bonding and do not undergo additional chemical reactions after application. These adhesives are available in both thermosetting and thermoplastic forms and are commonly used in various applications, including automotive, electronics, construction, textiles, bookbinding, furniture, edge banding, woodworking, footwear, and more.
