The pur hot melt adhesives market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for PUR hot-melt adhesives is forecasted to witness substantial growth in the coming years, escalating to $7.7 billion in 2029 with a CAGR of 7.3%.
This growth during the prediction period is primarily driven by an increased need for eco-friendly adhesives, a surge in requirement for PUR hot-melt adhesives in the automotive sector, and an expanded usage of solvent-based adhesives. Key trends expected during the forecast period encompass technological progression, environment-friendly adhesives, versatile adhesives, intelligent technologies, and water-oriented adhesives.
The expansion of construction activities is set to boost the PUR hot-melt adhesives market's growth. This industry undertakes a broad scope of tasks related to the organization, design, build, preservation, and management of physical structures and infrastructure. The swelling demand in the construction market can be attributed to various elements including urban development, infrastructure creation, sustainable and eco-friendly construction, along with reconstruction, and remodeling projects. In construction, PUR hot melt adhesives serve an essential function owing to their robust and lasting bonding capabilities which resist structural pressure and climatic conditions, thereby ensuring enduring performance. To cite an example, the US Census Bureau, a government agency in the USA, reported in September 2024, that the expenditure on construction was projected at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $2,162.7 billion in July 2024, which indicates a 6.7% boost (±1.8%) compared to the $2,027.4 billion spent in July 2023. Consequently, the accelerating construction activities are facilitating the growth of the PUR hot-melt adhesives market.
