Methyl Methacrylate Adhesives Market Report 2026

The methyl methacrylate adhesives market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.77 billion in 2025 to $1.93 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of automotive manufacturing, growth in composite material usage, increasing demand for durable bonding solutions, rising adoption in marine applications, improvements in adhesive formulation technologies.

The methyl methacrylate adhesives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.76 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand from electric vehicle manufacturing, rising use in renewable energy structures, expansion of prefabricated construction techniques, growing focus on solvent-reduction formulations, increasing adoption in industrial automation. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of high-strength structural adhesives, growing use in lightweight vehicle assembly, increasing demand for fast-curing adhesive systems, expansion of mma adhesives in composite bonding, enhanced resistance to harsh operating conditions.

The thriving building and construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the methyl methacrylate adhesives market going forward. The building and construction industry encompasses the construction of residential, farm, industrial, commercial, and other types of buildings. Methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesives are widely used in construction equipment and vehicles, including side and roof panels, door panels, and aerodynamic components. For instance, according to the United States Census Bureau, a US-based principal federal statistical agency, in February 2023, the number of privately owned housing units reached 1,524,000 on a seasonally adjusted annual basis, marking a 13.8% increase from January 2023. Therefore, the robust growth of the building and construction industry is fueling the demand for MMA adhesives.

Major companies in the methyl methacrylate adhesives market are focusing on advanced adhesive technologies to improve bonding performance, reduce curing times, and enhance durability across multiple industries. These innovations are particularly relevant to sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and construction, where strong and reliable bonding is critical for lightweight and high-stress applications. For instance, in February 2023, SCIGRIP Adhesives Ltd., a UK-based structural adhesives manufacturer, launched two products: SCIGRIP SG400LSE and SCIGRIP SG800. The SG400LSE is a two-component adhesive designed for low surface energy (LSE) materials like polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), eliminating the need for primers or extensive surface preparation. It cures in under 24 hours and forms strong bonds with metals and plastics, suitable for harsh environments. The SG800 series, with variants SG800-05 and SG800-15, targets transportation and industrial applications, offering excellent heat and impact resistance, with SG800-15 providing a 15-minute fixture time for complex assemblies. These products withstand continuous temperatures up to 149°C and intermittent peaks of 204°C, reflecting SCIGRIP’s commitment to durable, high-performance adhesive solutions.

In September 2024, IPSA, a US-based manufacturer of structural and surfacing adhesives, acquired L&L Products for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to strengthen IPSA's existing MMA-based product offerings, enhancing its capacity to deliver innovative solutions, particularly for lightweight applications and bonding dissimilar materials across various industries, including transportation and construction. L&L Products is a US-based biotechnology company that specializes in manufacturing methyl methacrylate adhesives.
