The global polyurethane adhesives market size is anticipated to reach around US$ 11,600 Mn by 2027 and expected to grow at a CAGR of around 6% in terms of revenue during the forecast period 2020 – 2027.

Polyurethane adhesives are also known as elastic adhesives, are the Polymers produced by the polyol and isocyanate reactions which consist of the linear chain units of carbamate or urethane links. Weather-resistant PU adhesives are normally suitable for outdoor projects. They can be used as stickers to offer long-lasting and high strength bonding to different end-use industries.

Market Insights

Increasing building and construction activities across the world is the major driver flourishing the growth of polyurethane adhesives market. In recent years, demand has significantly increased for polyurethane adhesives from end-use industries including clothing, automobile, building & renovation, packaging and electronics. In India, China, and Brazil, the construction and manufacturing sector is growing significantly, boosting demand for polyurethane adhesives. Rising government expenditure on construction and increasing companies is expected in these countries to fuel demand over the next few years for polyurethane adhesive products. The growing demand for polyurethane adhesives in the automotive manufacturing sector has propelled the growth of passenger or commercial vehicles with an increasing demand for lightweight components.

Solvent-borne - The Technology Dominating the Polyurethane Adhesives Market

Solvent-borne adhesives perform well in the bond, are more flexible and can be designed to fit with a wider variety of substrates. As these adhesives are made with organic solvents, they are less sensitive than other adhesives to contaminants (such as grease and oil on the substrate being bound). Such adhesives contain, however, considerable quantities of hazardous organic (VOC) compounds that are typically irritant and subject to world-wide regulations, especially in the United States and Europe. Nevertheless, they are commonly used by different end-user industries because of their superior adhesion properties.
