Wood Adhesives Market Report 2026

The wood adhesives market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.74 billion in 2025 to $6.16 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of furniture manufacturing, expansion of construction sector, increasing plywood production, availability of synthetic adhesives, rising urbanization.

The wood adhesives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.07 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in sustainable building materials, rising residential construction, advancements in adhesive formulations, increasing regulatory focus on emissions, expansion of modular construction. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for engineered wood products, increasing use of bio based adhesives, growing adoption in furniture manufacturing, expansion of adhesives in construction applications, rising focus on low emission adhesive solutions.

The increasing demand for engineered wood products is expected to drive the growth of the wood adhesives market going forward. Engineered wood products include manufactured materials such as plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), laminated veneer lumber (LVL), and cross-laminated timber (CLT), all designed for enhanced strength and structural performance. Demand for these materials is rising due to growing residential and commercial construction activity, as builders increasingly favor engineered wood for its durability, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. The wood adhesives market benefits directly from this trend, as adhesives are essential for bonding veneers, layers, and composites used in engineered wood production. For example, in March 2024, the U.S. Census Bureau, a U.S.-based federal statistical agency, reported that the total value of construction put in place reached approximately $2.1 trillion in 2024, up from about $1.98 trillion in 2023, indicating greater use of engineered wood products across construction projects. Therefore, the rising demand for engineered wood materials is fueling the growth of the wood adhesives market.

Major companies in the wood adhesives market are making strategic investments to improve product performance, support sustainability initiatives, and meet increasing demand for eco-friendly materials. These investments focus on advancing adhesive technologies, including bio-based and formaldehyde-free formulations, to comply with environmental regulations and shifting consumer preferences. For example, in May 2023, Henkel, a Germany-based chemical and consumer goods company, opened a new Technology Center in Bridgewater, New Jersey. The facility is designed to enhance collaboration with industry partners and showcase innovations in adhesives, sealants, and coatings. This initiative aligns with Henkel’s strategy to drive growth and sustainability in the wood adhesives sector through advanced technological solutions that meet evolving market requirements.

In September 2023, H.B. Fuller Company, a U.S.-based global adhesives manufacturer, acquired the business of Sanglier Limited, a UK-based independent producer and filler of sprayable industrial adhesives. This acquisition allows H.B. Fuller to broaden its product portfolio and expand its geographic presence across Europe. It also strengthens the company’s capabilities in construction and engineering adhesives, including formulations commonly used in wood-panel production, furniture manufacturing, and various other wood-bonding applications.
