Methyl methacrylate adhesives are acrylic adhesives comprising resin and a hardener, often containing rubber and additional strengthening agents. These adhesives are versatile and find applications in bonding magnets on electric motors and loudspeakers.
The main types of methyl methacrylate adhesives include water-based, solvent-based, and other variations. Water-based adhesives consist of a mixture of water, polymers, and additives, offering a durable bond comparable to or even better than solvent-based options. Water-based methyl methacrylate adhesives are structural adhesives composed of a water-based resin system and a catalyst. They can be used on various substrates such as metal, plastics, composites, and others, making them suitable for applications in automotive and transportation, building and construction, marine, wind energy, general assembly, and more.
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 affecting the methyl methacrylate adhesives market by increasing costs of imported acrylic resins, curing agents, chemical additives, and processing equipment. Automotive and construction sectors in North America and Europe are most impacted due to reliance on imported raw materials, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on adhesive exports. These tariffs are increasing production costs and limiting margin flexibility. At the same time, they are encouraging local resin production, regional adhesive formulation facilities, and innovation in alternative bonding chemistries.

The methyl methacrylate adhesives market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.77 billion in 2025 to $1.93 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of automotive manufacturing, growth in composite material usage, increasing demand for durable bonding solutions, rising adoption in marine applications, improvements in adhesive formulation technologies.
The methyl methacrylate adhesives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.76 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand from electric vehicle manufacturing, rising use in renewable energy structures, expansion of prefabricated construction techniques, growing focus on solvent-reduction formulations, increasing adoption in industrial automation. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of high-strength structural adhesives, growing use in lightweight vehicle assembly, increasing demand for fast-curing adhesive systems, expansion of mma adhesives in composite bonding, enhanced resistance to harsh operating conditions.
The thriving building and construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the methyl methacrylate adhesives market going forward. The building and construction industry encompasses the construction of residential, farm, industrial, commercial, and other types of buildings. Methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesives are widely used in construction equipment and vehicles, including side and roof panels, door panels, and aerodynamic components. For instance, according to the United States Census Bureau, a US-based principal federal statistical agency, in February 2023, the number of privately owned housing units reached 1,524,000 on a seasonally adjusted annual basis, marking a 13.8% increase from January 2023. Therefore, the robust growth of the building and construction industry is fueling the demand for MMA adhesives.
Major companies in the methyl methacrylate adhesives market are focusing on advanced adhesive technologies to improve bonding performance, reduce curing times, and enhance durability across multiple industries. These innovations are particularly relevant to sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and construction, where strong and reliable bonding is critical for lightweight and high-stress applications. For instance, in February 2023, SCIGRIP Adhesives Ltd., a UK-based structural adhesives manufacturer, launched two products: SCIGRIP SG400LSE and SCIGRIP SG800. The SG400LSE is a two-component adhesive designed for low surface energy (LSE) materials like polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), eliminating the need for primers or extensive surface preparation. It cures in under 24 hours and forms strong bonds with metals and plastics, suitable for harsh environments. The SG800 series, with variants SG800-05 and SG800-15, targets transportation and industrial applications, offering excellent heat and impact resistance, with SG800-15 providing a 15-minute fixture time for complex assemblies. These products withstand continuous temperatures up to 149°C and intermittent peaks of 204°C, reflecting SCIGRIP's commitment to durable, high-performance adhesive solutions.
In September 2024, IPSA, a US-based manufacturer of structural and surfacing adhesives, acquired L&L Products for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to strengthen IPSA's existing MMA-based product offerings, enhancing its capacity to deliver innovative solutions, particularly for lightweight applications and bonding dissimilar materials across various industries, including transportation and construction. L&L Products is a US-based biotechnology company that specializes in manufacturing methyl methacrylate adhesives.
