The solvent based adhesives market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In the past few years, the market size of solvent-based adhesives has seen robust growth. The market, which stood at $15.06 billion in 2024, is projected to expand to $15.93 billion in 2025, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%.
This significant growth during the historical period is linked to factors such as industrial applications, comprehensive substrate compatibility, swift drying times, and extended shelf life.
The solvent based adhesives market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The dimension of the solvent-based adhesives industry is anticipated to experience significant expansion in the forthcoming years. By the year 2029, it is projected to escalate to $19.48 billion, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%.
The augmentation during the predicted duration is linked to the surge in the automotive sector, development in construction and infrastructure, electronic components and renewable energy. Key trends for the forecast period consist of hybrid adhesives, resistance to high temperature, bespoke formulations, and innovative packaging.
The market for solvent-based adhesives is anticipated to profit from the expansion of the auto manufacturing industry in the upcoming period. The production of lightweight cars is on the rise, which is propelling the demand for adhesives and sealants. To reduce a car's weight, these adhesives and sealants are used instead of welded joints, mechanical fasteners, and gaskets. Therefore, the burgeoning demand for lightweight cars is likely to escalate the need for solvent-based adhesives in the forecast period.

Leading businesses active in the solvent-based adhesives sector are emphasizing the production of innovative products like pearl bond adhesive to bolster their market revenue. Pearl Bond adhesive, a crystalline thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) adhesive, is specially designed for the production of reactive hot melt adhesives (HMAs) and hot melt adhesives (HMAs). Case in point, Pearl Polyurethane Systems LLC, a UAE-based PU adhesives provider, including solvent-based adhesives, introduced a pearl bond adhesive in April 2023. This adhesive range can be applied in various sectors, including the creation of footwear uppers, vehicle interior trim, and other textile substrates. In addition to its resistance to microbial attack, which adds to its durability and longevity, the adhesive offers a cost-effective solution, providing exceptional bonding solutions for hot melt adhesives.
