Solvent-Based Adhesives Market Report 2026

The solvent-based adhesives market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $16.84 billion in 2025 to $18.46 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of construction activities, expansion of automotive manufacturing, demand for durable bonding solutions, adoption in packaging industry, development of solvent based resin systems.

The solvent-based adhesives market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $27.46 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth of electric vehicle production, rising infrastructure development, demand for high performance adhesives, expansion of industrial manufacturing, innovation in adhesive formulations. Major trends in the forecast period include rising use in automotive assembly, growing demand for high strength bonding, expansion in packaging applications, increased adoption in woodworking, focus on multi surface adhesion.

The expanding construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the solvent-based adhesives market going forward. Construction involves the planning, designing, assembling, and building of physical structures, facilities, or infrastructure. Solvent-based adhesives are extensively used in construction due to their strong and durable bonding properties, high initial tack, versatility, and resistance to temperature, water, and chemicals. Growth in construction activity is fueled by increasing urbanization, infrastructure development, and government investments in both public and private projects. For example, in November 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), a UK-based statistical authority, the value of new construction work in Great Britain grew by 4.2%, reaching a record £139.02 billion, reflecting expansion across both private and public infrastructure initiatives. Therefore, the rising construction industry is supporting the growth of the solvent-based adhesives market.

Major companies operating in the solvent-based adhesives market are focusing on innovative solutions, such as Pearl Bond adhesive, to enhance market revenues. Pearl Bond adhesives are a range of crystalline thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) formulations designed for manufacturing reactive hot melt adhesives (HMAs) and conventional HMAs. For instance, in April 2023, Pearl Polyurethane Systems LLC, a UAE-based provider of PU-based adhesives, including solvent-based adhesives, launched its Pearl Bond adhesive line. These adhesives are used in applications such as footwear uppers, vehicle interior trims, and various textile substrates. The products are highly resistant to microbial attack, providing durable and long-lasting bonding solutions, while offering a cost-effective formulation for high-performance hot melt adhesive applications.
