Wood Adhesives Market

Global Wood Adhesives Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The Global Wood Adhesives Market was worth US$ 6.08 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach a valuation of US$ 8.20 billion by 2029 and it is predicted to register a CAGR of 5.12% during the forecast period 2024 to 2029.

A variety of adhesives are employed for woodworking applications that range from natural to synthetic, providing adhesion and other properties according to specific requirements. Manufacturers are using wood adhesives that have better resistance to the moisture content of the wood. The use of wood adhesives has also resulted in lower overall product and labor costs due to the relative ease of application and supply of raw materials. In recent decades, green materials have been employed more widely as consumers become aware of the consequences associated with using products derived from petrochemicals. In addition, strict regulations on worldwide emissions standards have pushed manufacturers to develop green adhesive products.

MARKET DRIVERS AND RESTRAINTS

The rapid recovery in the housing sector along with commercial and infrastructure development is predicted to create a significant call for wood adhesives business over the foreseen period.

One of the main drivers of the call for the global wood adhesives market is the rapid expansion of the construction industry in developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The market is predicted to grow during the calculated period because of the escalated construction activity. With the increase in disposable income, there has been a significant rise in consumer spending on home decor and luxury furniture products that is predicted to stimulate the worldwide market for wood adhesives. The rising trend towards the use of lightweight materials should further fuel the call for wood adhesives. The augmenting call to increase construction activity is stimulating market expansion.

This is due to the rising call of wooden furniture and the expansion of the housing sector. With the escalating focus on improving living standards, consumer spending on interior design and luxury furniture products has escalated. Therefore, there has been a significant demand in the call for materials such as wood, plywood, and others with greater aesthetic appeal. The use of adhesives for bonding offers a number of additional advantages compared to other conventional methods, such as faster drying and setting times, improved adhesion, compatibility for use with various substrates and greater resistance, aesthetic appeal compared to the use of metal fasteners, and other joining methods.

On the other hand, the volatility of raw material prices should hinder market expansion. One of the main challenges facing the world market for wood adhesives is the raw material for the production of these adhesives derived from petroleum or crude oil. Price volatility, therefore, affects the cost of manufacturing wood glues, which is a major problem for manufacturers. Another important factor limiting call in the world market for wood adhesives is the use of alternative materials such as plastics and polymers, which are predicted to hinder expansion in the wood adhesives business.
