The wood adhesives market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.13 billion in 2023 to $5.48 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the expansion of the construction and furniture industries, increased housing and infrastructure development, consumer preferences for wooden products, growth in renovation and remodeling activities, and global trends in woodworking.

The wood adhesives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.18 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by the adoption of sustainable and eco-friendly practices, the increasing demand for engineered wood products, urbanization trends, and interior design preferences. Additionally, there is a focus on high-performance adhesives for various applications, including wooden flooring. Major trends expected in this period include the increasing application of hot-melt adhesives, the growing importance of digital printing in wood paneling, a focus on fire-retardant adhesives in construction, the application of adhesives in prefabricated and modular construction methods, and collaborations for research and innovation in the industry.

The surge in consumer spending on luxury furniture and home decor products is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the wood adhesives market. Wood adhesives, widely used in various wood joinery applications, serve as a reliable choice for assembling home decor items and wooden furniture. Despite facing substantial supply chain obstacles, RH, a luxury furniture and home goods retailer, maintains an optimistic outlook regarding sustained robust consumer spending. RH aims to transition from merely curating and selling products to conceptualizing and marketing complete settings. In the second quarter of 2021, RH reported a notable upswing in net revenue, reaching $989 million, marking a 39% increase from the previous year and a 40% rise compared to the second quarter of 2019. Projecting a full-year sales growth of 31% to 33% for 2021, RH has revised its earlier forecast of 25% to 30%, attributing this upward adjustment to the company's operational stability. Consequently, the heightened consumer expenditure on luxury furniture and home decor products acts as the primary catalyst propelling the growth of the wood adhesives market.

The burgeoning construction sector is poised to fuel the expansion of the wood adhesives market. Construction involves the assembly and creation of infrastructure, buildings, and various structures. Within this industry, wood adhesives play a crucial role by bonding and reinforcing wooden components, significantly bolstering the structural durability and longevity of buildings, furniture, and other wooden structures. For instance, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in December 2023, construction spending in October 2023 reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $2,027.1 billion, marking a 0.6% (+-1.0%) increase from the revised September estimate of $2,014.7 billion. Moreover, October figures reflected a 10.7% (+-1.6%) rise from October 2022, which was estimated at $1,830.5 billion. In the initial ten months of that year, construction spending totaled $1,646.0 billion, marking a 5.6% (+-1.2%) increase from the same period in 2022, which totaled $1,559.1 billion. Consequently, the upward trajectory of the construction industry serves as the driving force behind the growth of the wood adhesives market.

Strategic collaborations are playing a pivotal role in shaping the wood adhesives market, offering manufacturers a broader distribution range that contributes to market growth. For instance, in June 2021, HB Fuller signed a distribution deal with Jubilant Agri and Consumer Products, a subsidiary of Jubilant Industries, to address the growing demand for adhesives in the B2B woodworking industry. This strategic partnership enables HB Fuller to expand the reach of its high-performing adhesive solutions, including water-based, hot melt moisture cures, and polyurethanes, to meet specific adhesion and sustainability requirements. Additionally, it provides access to global experts and local expertise, service, and technical support. Similarly, in April 2021, Innovative Chemical Products Group (ICP Group) acquired Choice Adhesives, enhancing the ICP BSG family's ability to support professional clients in the roofing adhesive sector. This acquisition strengthens the ICP BSG family's position in the market, allowing it to provide comprehensive solutions and support to its customers.

Prominent companies in the wood adhesives market are intensifying their efforts to introduce high-performance adhesives, such as G6520 and SG6518, to enhance their competitive position in the market. SG6520 and SG6518 are high-performance polyurethane adhesives renowned for their exceptional bonding strength and versatility in various construction and assembly applications. For example, in May 2022, Bostik, a France-based adhesive manufacturing company, unveiled a new series of adhesive solutions named SG6520 and SG6518. These hot melt polyurethane reactive (HMPUR) adhesive solutions are specifically designed for woodworking applications, offering superior bonding strength, sealing performance, water resistance, and increased durability for finished woodworking products.
