Polyurethane Adhesives Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Resin Type (Thermoplastic, Thermoset), By Technology (Solvent-Borne, Hot Melt, Reactive, Water Born, Rad-cure), By End Users (Automotive, Building & Construction, Electrical & Electronics, Footwear, Furniture and Others) and Region Forecast 2020-2031

Polyurethane Adhesives Market size was valued at US$ 7,355.5 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 11,888.8 million by 2031, growing at a significant CAGR of 7.1% from 2025-2031. owing to increasing demand for polyurethane adhesives from various industries/end-users such as construction, aerospace, packaging, electrical and electronics, etc. for their unique applications. The inclination toward the adoption of developing sustainable raw materials and manufacturing bio-degradable polyurethane adhesives to mitigate global warming by using these products to sequester carbon dioxide is the primary factor expected to create a lucrative opportunity for the market players during the forecast period. The rising demand for bio-based PU hot-melt adhesives is likely to be an opportunity for the market.

According to the FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry), India's chemical industry was worth 163 billion dollars in 2019 and contributed 3.4 percent to the global chemical industry. It is the sixth-largest producer of chemicals in the world. This figure demonstrates the profitable prospect for corporate investment in Asia Pacific countries in the coming years. Based on technology, the Solvent-Borne segment is expected to witness the highest market share owing to increasing growth in the light-weighted automobile manufacturing industry during the forecast period. Also, other significant factors such as resistance to plasticizers, good adhesion to the most different materials (except bare metal) & high demand for bonding soft PVC to each other as well as to many other materials are expected to drive the Solvent-Borne segment growth during the forecast period.
