"The thermoset segment is estimated to lead the polyurethane adhesives market in 2025."
By type, the thermoset segment dominated the polyurethane adhesives market in 2024. The main causative factors for this growth are their superb mechanical strength, good durability, and environmental degradation resistance. These kinds of adhesives find extensive applications in the automotive, construction, and footwear industries, where high stress and permanent bonding are essential. Thermosets are used in a structural application due to the irreversible cross-linked bonds formed upon curing, which have been demonstrated to provide high performance in heat, chemical, and moisture exposure conditions. They are cheap and have the flexibility to be used in various industries, which makes them the preferred adhesive in mass production. With the increasing global demand for durable and high-strength adhesives without diminishing, thermoset PU adhesives will likely sustain their pace in becoming the top-notch type in the polyurethane adhesives market.
"The 100% solids segment is estimated to lead the polyurethane adhesives market in 2025."
By technology, the 100% solids segment is estimated to lead the polyurethane adhesives market in 2025, in terms of value. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the increasing trend in the world of environmental sustainability, worker safety, and low-emission materials. 100% solid adhesives have low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs); thus, the adhesives conform to stringent environmental standards, especially in North America and Europe. The use of low odor, non-flammable, and rapid-curing adhesives is steadily rising in furniture, automotive interior, packaging, and other applications. Since industries and consumers focus on green solutions, manufacturers are moving toward water-based technologies, and this has seen a swift adoption of water-based technology in various fields.
"Middle East & Africa is projected to be the second-fastest-growing region in the polyurethane adhesives market, in terms of value, during the forecast period."
The Middle East & Africa is projected to be the second-fastest-growing market during the forecast period. It is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.61% between 2025 and 2030. Construction works, expansion of industries, and the diversification of economies based on oil resources are the main factors that propel the region's growth. Nations such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa invest in mega infrastructure and commerce structures, so premium quality adhesives are in high demand. Additionally, the increase in disposable income is driving the demand for PU adhesives in the end-use markets, such as furniture, interior decoration, and packaging, where they are proving to be better in strength, flexibility, and environmental stability. Market growth is also boosted by the region's progressive exposure to foreign investments and the adoption of new technologies.
