Thermosetting Acrylic Adhesive Market Report 2026

The thermosetting acrylic adhesive market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.24 billion in 2025 to $1.32 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial bonding requirements, automotive assembly growth, solvent based adhesive limitations, construction material innovation, electronics miniaturization.

The thermosetting acrylic adhesive market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.67 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electric vehicle production growth, lightweight material adoption, high temperature resistant materials demand, automation in manufacturing, sustainable adhesive development. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for high strength structural bonding, growing use in automotive lightweighting, expansion of heat resistant adhesive applications, increased adoption in electronics assembly, focus on long term durability performance.

The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to propel the growth of the thermosetting acrylic adhesive market going forward. Electric vehicles are automobiles powered entirely or partially by electric energy stored in batteries instead of conventional fossil fuels. The growth of EVs is driven by environmental concerns, as they produce zero tailpipe emissions and help reduce air pollution. Thermosetting acrylic adhesives support electric vehicles by providing strong, durable, and heat-resistant bonding for lightweight components, enhancing structural integrity and overall vehicle performance. For instance, in December 2023, according to the European Environment Agency, a Europe-based government organization, the share of electric vehicles in new registrations rose to 22.7% for cars and 7.7% for vans, up from 19% for cars and 6% for vans in 2022. Therefore, the rise of electric vehicles is driving the growth of the thermosetting acrylic adhesive market.

Major companies operating in the thermosetting acrylic adhesive market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as two-part toughened acrylic systems, to enhance bonding performance, reduce surface preparation requirements, and improve production efficiency across automotive, composite, and industrial applications. Two-part toughened acrylic systems consist of two reactive components that chemically cure to form strong, impact-resistant, and durable thermoset bonds. For instance, in January 2024, Permabond Engineering Adhesives Limited, a US-based company providing high-performance bonding and sealing solutions, launched its advanced toughened acrylic adhesive, Permabond TA4208 Black. Designed for the composite materials sector, this versatile adhesive serves multiple industrial applications. The two-part 1:1 formulation offers high viscosity and non-slumping properties, ideal for vertical and gap-filling applications. Its innovative surface adhesion technology enables strong bonding even on oily or oxidized surfaces, minimizing surface preparation. Additionally, it provides rapid strength development, achieving high peel and shear strength within 20 minutes, enhancing productivity in fast-paced manufacturing environments.

In October 2024, Formerra, a US-based performance materials distributor, entered into a strategic partnership with H.B. Fuller for an undisclosed value. Through this partnership, Formerra aims to expand the distribution of H.B. Fuller’s Cilbond bonding agents across North America, improving manufacturing efficiency and technical support for customers. H.B. Fuller is a US-based manufacturer of thermosetting acrylic adhesives.
