The wood adhesives market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.58%, reaching a market size of US$10.636 billion in 2030 from US$7.375 billion in 2025.
Wood Adhesives are components used to bind wooden materials and are majorly used by furniture manufacturing companies. New variants and advanced technologies being used in glues, a rapid increase in the usage of household items, increasing customized furniture needs, and the development of new bonding technologies are the factors driving the market growth.
The Americas region is expected to have a major market share due to increasing investments in the research and development of low-cost wood adhesives. The Asia Pacific region will have a significant growth rate due to the growing economy, rising demand for housing, and increased disposable income.
The growth in the residential sector is due to the growing urbanization worldwide and growing economic development in different parts of the world. A significant part of the development of construction goes for the building of houses, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, schools, etc., for the population. According to the World Economic Forum, the share of the urban population of the total population is 55% in 2022 and likely to be 80% by 2080. These increased urban population setups needed different varieties of buildings, including the major residential buildings. To accommodate this rising population, governments worldwide are investing funds in the construction of the residential sector.
Such as the Federal government in Canada launched a $1.5 billion program to build a new generation of co?op housing in June 2024. The program will build thousands of new co-op homes by 2028. This Co-operative Housing Development Program would increase the number of affordable homes in Canada. These developments in the construction sector would lead to the usage of wood for many purposes like flooring, structural support, designs, ceiling designs, etc.
The growth of the economies has a significant role in developing the commercial construction industry. Countries worldwide are willing to invest heavily in making affordable housing, offices, schools, commercial buildings, administrative buildings, and hospitals. These developments by the countries stimulate economic growth and provide rapid employment in both the manufacturing and construction sectors. The use of commercial spaces has been significantly rising in the growing economies of Asia and Africa. The commercial spaces use wooden work for aesthetic purposes and accommodate better design in the limited space.
Additionally, the increasing tourism activity worldwide also causes an increase in hotels and other staying facilities in the countries. According to the Federal Statistical Office, the number of overnight stays by guests from abroad in Germany has increased by 3.1% to 7.5 million in May 2024 compared to May 2023. This number has significantly increased after the pandemic as people are willing to visit different places after the lockdown. The growth of the commercial sector worldwide has a positive effect on the demand for wood in the market.
Adhesives contribute to the sustainability of building structures by enabling timber construction. Since timber is a natural material, it is beneficial over the most synthetically produced materials. Wood is mostly utilized by wood panels that maintain strength, form, and functionality. Thus, different layers of wood, like cross-lamination or glue-lamination, are utilized with adhesives. By increasing the use of such raw materials, the carbon footprint of buildings can be improved.
Wood-based materials such as particle board, OSB, plywood, or fiber-based materials are utilized for sustainable building materials in the construction industry and furniture production. They are also utilized in vehicle construction. Wood-based products could play a significantly greater role in the future, thus increasing the wood adhesives market.
By geography, the market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. The major economies like China, Japan, India, and South Korea dominate the Asia-Pacific region. This causes demand for various raw materials in primary industries like construction and furniture, where wood is utilized.
