The global polyurethane (PU) adhesives market is projected to reach USD 9.38 Billion by 2021, registering a CAGR of 6.8% between 2016 and 2021. Increasing building & construction activities and growth in production of automotive are increasing the demand for PU adhesives. Emerging middle-class population in developing countries such as China, India, and Brazil have triggered the growth of the PU adhesives market.

In 2015, the building & construction application segment accounted for the largest market share, in terms of volume, followed by packaging, automotive & transportation, footwear, furniture & woodwork, and electrical & electronics applications. The demand for better infrastructure is increasing in China and India because of increasing disposable income and growth in middle-class population in these countries, which drive the PU adhesives market in Asia-Pacific.

Solvent-borne is currently the dominant technology used in the PU adhesives market. Solvent-borne PU adhesives are selected by many major end-use industries for different applications, as they provide immediate bonding of substrates with good adhesion properties.

Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth rate in the PU adhesives market, in terms of value and volume, between 2016 and 2021. In recent years, enormous increase in the building & construction activities has been witnessed in the region. The demand for automotive have also increased in the region over the past few years. These factors increase the demand for technologically advanced services, thus driving the need for PU adhesives in the region.

Although PU adhesives is a developed market, volatility in raw material prices may affect the growth PU adhesives in the global market. This is because its raw material is directly related to crude oil, the prices of which are always fluctuating.

Companies such as 3M (U.S.), Arkema S.A. (France), Ashland Inc. (U.S.), H.B. Fuller (U.S.), Henkel AG & Co. KGaA (Germany), Huntsman Corporation (U.S.), Illinois Tool Works Inc. (U.S.), Scott Bader Company Ltd. (U.K.), Sika AG (Switzerland), and The Dow Chemical Company (U.S.) are the key players in the global PU adhesives market. The diverse product portfolio, strategically positioned R&D centers, continuous adoption of development strategies, and technological advancements are some of the factors that strengthen the position of these companies in the PU adhesives market. They have been adopting various organic and inorganic growth strategies to enhance the current market scenario of PU adhesives.
