Flooring Adhesive Global Market Report 2026

Flooring adhesive is a resilient and durable adhesive substance employed to affix flooring components securely onto the subfloor or underlayment. It serves the crucial purpose of anchoring floor tiles firmly and establishing a strong connection between the flooring material and the underlying surface. This adhesive is essentially a viscous substance utilized for securing various types of flooring in place.

The primary categories of flooring adhesives encompass urethane, epoxy, acrylic, vinyl, and other specialized variants. Urethane adhesive is a thermoplastic polymer-based adhesive derived from a chemical reaction between polymers. Epoxies are formulated by polymerizing a mixture of two initial compounds, namely the resin and the hardener. Acrylic adhesives consist of acrylic or methylacrylic polymers and are resin-based. Vinyl adhesive, commonly used for floor tile applications, provides an effective solution for repairing rips and tears in flooring materials. Flooring adhesives find extensive application across various flooring types, including tile and stone, carpets, wood, laminates, and others. Categorized by technology, types of flooring adhesives encompass water-based adhesives, solvent-based adhesives, and hot-melt-based adhesives. These adhesives cater to a wide range of settings, serving residential, commercial, and industrial areas alike.

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 influencing the flooring adhesive market by increasing costs of imported polymers, resins, additives, and chemical intermediates used in adhesive formulations. Construction markets in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported raw materials, while Asia-Pacific faces higher production costs for export-oriented adhesives. These tariffs are raising product prices and affecting contractor margins. At the same time, they are encouraging domestic chemical manufacturing, regional sourcing strategies, and development of alternative adhesive formulations with lower cost volatility.

Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of low-voc flooring adhesives, rising demand for water-based adhesive technologies, growing use of high-performance adhesives in commercial spaces, expansion of renovation and remodeling activities, enhanced focus on adhesive durability and bond strength.

The rise in the construction sector is expected to propel the growth of the flooring adhesive market going forward. The construction sector, also referred to as the construction industry, encompasses all activities related to planning, designing, developing, constructing, renovating, and maintaining buildings and infrastructure. Flooring adhesives play a critical role in construction projects by providing practical and aesthetic benefits, ensuring proper installation, stability, and longevity of various floor coverings in residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. For instance, in June 2023, Construction Digital, a UK-based platform connecting construction brands, reported that the UK construction industry is projected to grow by 12% in 2024, followed by an additional 3% increase in 2025. Therefore, the rise in the construction sector is driving the growth of the flooring adhesive market.

Major companies operating in the flooring adhesive market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as single-component eco-friendly wood flooring adhesives, to meet the growing demand for sustainable and low-VOC construction materials driven by stricter environmental regulations and increasing consumer awareness. Single-component eco-friendly wood flooring adhesives simplify installation by eliminating the need for mixing multiple components, while reducing harmful emissions compared to traditional multi-component or solvent-based adhesives. For instance, in February 2025, Mapei, an Italy-based multinational chemical company, launched Ultrabond Eco 987, a single-component wood flooring adhesive. This water-based adhesive offers strong initial grab and long-term bonding strength, while minimizing VOC emissions for environmental safety. It is easy to apply, reduces installation time, and is compatible with various wooden flooring types, including parquet and engineered wood. Ultrabond Eco 987 combines high-performance adhesion with environmental sustainability and user safety, providing a practical improvement over conventional adhesives that often require mixing, generate higher emissions, or contain hazardous solvents.
