The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to lightweight vehicle design demand, growth in modular furniture, stricter VOC regulations, rising automation in assembly lines, increasing use in electronics bonding. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption in woodworking and furniture assembly, growing use in automotive interior bonding, expansion in footwear manufacturing applications, increasing demand for flexible and durable bonds, shift toward low VOC adhesive formulations.

The growth of the PUR hot-melt adhesives market is being driven by the increasing construction activities globally. The construction industry, which involves planning, designing, building, maintaining, and operating physical structures and infrastructure, is experiencing rising demand due to factors such as urbanization, infrastructure development, sustainability initiatives, and renovation projects. PUR hot-melt adhesives are gaining traction within the sector due to their ability to form strong, durable bonds that can withstand structural stress and environmental challenges. For example, the US Census Bureau reported in September 2024 that construction spending in July 2024 reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $2.16 trillion, up 6.7% (±1.8%) from $2.02 trillion in July 2023. This rise in construction activity is fueling the demand for PUR hot-melt adhesives.

Major companies operating in the PUR hot-melt adhesives market are focusing on the development of technologically advanced solutions, such as bio-based adhesive technologies, which enable efficient bonding at lower processing temperatures, incorporate bio-based or recycled materials, and deliver high heat resistance for demanding applications, including automotive interiors. Bio-based adhesive technology refers to adhesive formulations in which a substantial share of the raw materials is derived from renewable or recycled sources rather than exclusively from petroleum-based feedstocks. For example, in November 2025, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, a Germany-based adhesive manufacturer specializing in industrial and consumer adhesives and surface technologies, introduced Technomelt PUR 6260 ECO, a bio-based PUR hot-melt adhesive formulated with renewable or recycled raw materials. This product is designed to provide strong and durable bonding for automotive interior applications while supporting sustainability objectives. Additionally, the innovation enables lamination at lower temperatures while maintaining robust heat resistance for high-performance applications.

In November 2023, COIM, an Italy-based chemical company, completed the acquisition of Neoflex SL for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is aligned with COIM's strategy to strengthen its position in the polyurethane adhesives market and expand its product portfolio. By acquiring new assets and capabilities, COIM aims to diversify its offerings and better serve the evolving needs of the adhesives industry. Neoflex SL is a Spain-based manufacturer specializing in reactive hot-melt polyurethane adhesives.
