Craft Glue Market size was valued at USD 3895.98 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2024 to 2030.  Specifically made for art and craft applications, craft glue ensures strong and long-lasting bindings between a variety of materials, including paper, fabric, wood, and plastic. Depending on the use, these adhesives range from basic white glue (PVA) to specialised hot glue, glue sticks, or rubber cement. Craft glue is an extremely adaptable substance used in many different industries. It is essential for schools, hobbies, and do-it-yourself projects. There has been a growing trend of DIY (Do-It-Yourself) projects across age groups, particularly among hobbyists, schools, and home crafters. This trend surged during the COVID-19 pandemic as people turned to creative hobbies. For instance, Elmer's® recently unveiled Elmer's Creations, a new digital inspiration hub that introduces kids and families to projects that feature Elmer's Glue as a main component. Every creation encourages children to add their own flair with distinctive colours and designs while also providing a list of goods needed and instructions to finish the activity. The desire of parents to provide their children with more possibilities for hands-on, sensory learning served as the impetus for this new digital centre. 96 percent of American parents surveyed by OnePoll, on behalf of Elmer's, felt that hands-on or sensory play is crucial to their child's brain development. The survey included 2,000 parents.

However, due to their chemical composition, many conventional adhesives pollute the environment both during production and disposal. The usage of synthetic craft glues is restricted by government controls on VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions and environmentally concerned consumer behaviour.
Moreover, new market prospects are created by the growing popularity of professional crafts, scrapbooking, and 3D crafting. Collaborations with internet platforms, craft chains, and educational institutions can help drive market expansion.
