Spray Adhesives Global Market Report 2026

Spray adhesives are versatile bonding agents applied in a spray format, creating a thin, even layer over surfaces. They are utilized in various industries, including automotive, construction, and crafting, because of their ease of application and strong adhesion. Their quick-drying characteristics and user-friendly nature make them a popular choice for projects that require efficient and effective adhesive solutions.

The main types of spray adhesives include solvent-based, water-based, hot melt, and others. Solvent-based spray adhesives use organic solvents to dissolve the adhesive material, enabling it to be sprayed onto surfaces. The resin types include epoxy, polyurethane, synthetic rubber, and vinyl acetate-ethylene. Applications of spray adhesives extend across automotive and transportation, building and construction, paper and packaging, woodworking and joinery, and more.
