Electronic Adhesives Market Report 2026

The electronic adhesives market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.09 billion in 2025 to $5.61 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of electronics manufacturing, growth of pcb assembly operations, increasing adoption of surface-mount technology, availability of advanced resin chemistries, rising complexity of electronic components.

The electronic adhesives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.1 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand from electric vehicles and power electronics, rising adoption of high-density electronics, expansion of aerospace and defense electronics, growing need for heat-resistant adhesives, increasing integration of smart electronic systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of electrically conductive adhesives, rising demand for thermal management solutions, growing adoption in miniaturized electronics, expansion of uv-curing adhesive technologies, enhanced focus on reliability and durability.

Increasing demand for smartphones is expected to propel the growth of the electronic adhesives market going forward. A smartphone is a portable electronic device with a cellular network connection. Electronic adhesives are used to connect components such as the glass display, camera lens, keypad, membrane switch sections, flex circuits, cables, microphones, speakers, EMI shielding, battery compartment, and outer casing. For instance, in March 2023, according to Cybercrew, a UK-based cybersecurity solutions provider, the percentage of UK households using smartphones is expected to rise to 93.8% by 2026. Therefore, increasing demand for smartphones is driving the growth of the electronic adhesives market.

Major companies in the electronic adhesives market are launching thermally conductive adhesives to address challenges faced by OEMs and battery manufacturers. Thermally conductive adhesives are designed to provide effective thermal management in heat-generating components while ensuring strong bonding. For instance, in May 2023, Henkel, a Germany-based provider of adhesives, sealants, and functional coatings, launched Loctite TLB 9300 APSi, an injectable thermally conductive adhesive for high-performance and safe electric vehicle (EV) battery systems. This two-component polyurethane adhesive offers structural bonding and thermal conductivity with a high thermal conductivity of 3 W/mK, moderate viscosity, and self-leveling properties. It is tailored for applications such as bonding battery cells to modules, providing electrical insulation, strong bonding performance, and a solvent-free formulation. The adhesive, adopted by a major EV battery manufacturer, supports sustainability by reducing emissions and resource use while improving bond strength and design flexibility.

In May 2023, Arkema, a France-based chemical company, acquired Polytec PT for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Arkema aims to expand its electronic adhesives portfolio by integrating Polytec PT’s thermally conductive adhesives, thermal interface materials, and potting compounds for electronics and battery applications. Polytec PT is a Germany-based company that provides thermal interface materials, thermally conductive adhesives, and electronic potting or encapsulation solutions.

Major companies operating in the electronic adhesives market are 3M Company, Dymax Corporation, The DOW Chemical Company, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, H.B.
