Bioadhesives Global Market Report 2026

Bioadhesives are natural polymers derived from bio-based raw materials, designed to bond two surfaces together. This phenomenon involves the adherence of synthetic and natural materials to biological surfaces. Bioadhesives find applications as adhesive materials in various artificial contexts. Not only are bioadhesives cost-effective and easier to manufacture, but they also possess the potential to replace synthetic adhesives.

The primary types of bioadhesives include plant-based and animal-based variants. Plant-based bioadhesives are produced from plant sources and are utilized for properties such as matrix formation and environmental applications. These adhesives can be manufactured through methods like direct chemical synthesis, bacteria and yeast fermentation, and natural organism farming. Plant-based bioadhesives find applications across diverse industries, including packaging, paper and pulp, construction, personal care, healthcare, and others.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are impacting the bioadhesives market by increasing costs of imported bio-raw materials, processing equipment, and fermentation technologies. Manufacturers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on specialized inputs, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure in export markets. These tariffs are increasing production costs and slowing adoption in price-sensitive applications. However, they are also encouraging local raw material sourcing, regional manufacturing expansion, and development of cost-effective bioadhesive formulations.

Bioadhesives align with these principles, making them a preferred choice for environmentally conscious builders. For example, in March 2024, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported 30,992 new private house dwellings, reflecting a 3.7% rise from December 2023 and a 14.6% increase since March 2023. Completions of other private new residential buildings increased to 14,844 dwellings, marking a 5.6% rise compared to December 2023. Therefore, the expansion of the construction industry is fueling the bioadhesives market.

Key companies in the bioadhesives market are developing innovative products, such as bio-compatible adhesives, to reach larger customer bases, boost sales, and increase revenue. Bio-compatible adhesives are formulated to be safe and compatible with biological systems, particularly for medical and healthcare applications. For instance, in January 2023, H.B. Fuller, a US-based adhesive manufacturer, launched Swift Melt 1515-I, known for its strong and rapid bonding, high adhesion under elevated temperatures, and impressive shear resistance. The adhesive balances strong adhesion with easy removal and has obtained ISO 10993-5 certification for cytotoxicity, making it suitable for medical applications in hospitals and home care, especially for skin adhesion.

In June 2024, WACKER Chemie AG, a Germany-based specialty chemicals and materials technology company, acquired Bio Med Sciences, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, WACKER aims to strengthen its healthcare and medical adhesives portfolio, expand its technological capabilities in silicone-based adhesive solutions, and enhance offerings for the medical device and wound care markets.
