Construction Adhesives Market Growth & Trends

The global construction adhesive market size is expected to reach USD 14.76 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.9% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The emergence of COVID-19 affected the construction industry around the world in 2020, and its impact continued in 2021 and 2022 as well in certain countries.

Construction represents close to a 13% share of the global GDP. Thus, a short impact on the sector affects the materials demand, thereby reducing the growth of the market. Most of the construction sites during the first half of 2020 faced numerous challenges associated with operations and supply chains. However, the market started recovering in 2021. Construction spending on infrastructure projects is likely to rise in 2022, on account of the passage of public and private investments.

Wood Adhesives Market Growth & Trends

The global wood adhesives market size is anticipated to reach USD 12.52 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at CAGR of 8.6% from 2024 to 2030, as per the new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing demand from engineered wood-based panel manufacturers is a significant driver of the market.

Adhesives are a preferred choice for binding wood strips, chips, fibers, strands, and veneers for manufacturing engineered wood-based panels such as plywood, particle board, oriented strand board, medium density fiberboard, and high density fiberboards. Increasing population and rapid urbanization accompanied with the government efforts to boost residential construction are likely to propel the demand for wood-based panels, which in turn is expected to support the market growth.

Medical Adhesives Market Growth & Trends

The global medical adhesives market size is anticipated to reach USD 16.00 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising demand from internal medical application is predicted to drive the industry growth. Another significant driver of the industry is the rising penetration of transdermal patches. Transdermal patch is used to deliver drug directly to the blood stream through the skin. Transdermal patch is an efficient drug delivery mechanism, because the adhesive that sticks the substrate to the skin, regulates the rate at which the drug enters the patient’s body. This is a more effective method of drug delivery as compared to a high ingestion dosage which is consequently discharged out of the body by the liver.

The U.S., UK, Germany, and China, were among the largest consumers of the product owing to the significant technological development in the healthcare industry. Continuous R&D efforts by prominent players in these countries to develop non-irritable adhesives for soft skin as well as hemostatic products for internal medical application is likely to propel medical adhesive market growth.

?

Automotive Adhesives Market Growth & Trends

The global automotive adhesives market size is anticipated to reach USD 6.5 billion by 2025, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.4%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing demand for lightweight vehicles and shifting preference of consumers toward sustainable adhesives are projected to favor the market growth.

The usage of adhesives helps in reduction of weight of vehicles, which further boosts the fuel efficiency and overall performance of vehicles. This has resulted in rapid adoption of adhesives over mechanical fasteners in automotive industry. Also, they are increasingly being used in electric vehicles, which is anticipated to fuel the market growth further.
