Construction Polyurethane Adhesives Market to Reach USD 8,204 Million by 2031 Top 20 Company Globally

Construction polyurethane adhesives are high-performance bonding materials used across building and infrastructure projects for tasks such as panel bonding, flooring installation, façade systems, joint sealing and structural gluing of dissimilar substrates (concrete, metal, stone, timber, composites). Their appeal in construction stems from strong initial tack, high durability, elasticity to accommodate thermal and structural movement, moisture and chemical resistance, and suitability for both one-component moisture-curing systems and two-component systems where high structural strength is required. The construction segment typically demands formulation variants tuned for open time, cure speed, paintability and compliance with low-VOC and regulatory requirements; in many Asian and Southeast Asian projects, local price sensitivity and tropical performance (humidity, heat) shape formulation and logistics choices.

The global construction polyurethane adhesives market size is valued at USD 5,420 million in 2024 with a CAGR of 6.1% through 2031reaching market size USD 8,204 million by 2031. An average selling price of USD 4,500 per ton, the implied total units sold globally in 2024 are 1,204,444 tons. With a stated factory gross margin of 30%, the factory gross profit per unit is USD 1,350 and the cost of goods sold (COGS) per unit is USD 3,150. A breakdown of the COGS is: raw materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead & energy, packaging & consumables and quality/testing & waste. A single line full machine capacity production is around 60,000 tons per line per year. Downstream demand is concentrated in construction (including infrastructure and commercial construction), DIY/retail & renovation, industrial & manufacturing, automotive/transportation applications tied to construction projects and other specialized uses.
Latest Trends and Technological Developments
Manufacturers are accelerating product launches and local manufacturing investments to improve lead times, meet sustainability targets and adapt to regional performance requirements. Sika announced a targeted rollout of rapid-set construction adhesive and EIFS bonding solutions (SikaWall®-3000 Rapid Bond) intended to reduce installation times; that launch was publicized in May 2025. Henkel and other major players have been public about plant modernizations and product portfolio sustainability work throughout 2024 to 2025, including investments to improve low-emission and energy performance at adhesive facilities; global press coverage noted Henkels revenue and strategic moves in Q1 2025 as part of that activity. Sika also reported a series of local-for-local manufacturing investments in mid-2025 to expand capacity in China and other regions, reflecting the broader supply-chain shift toward regional production. Across the industry there is clear momentum behind low-VOC, water-borne and hybrid polyurethane formulations, primerless systems that reduce onsite steps, and faster cure chemistries that shorten project critical paths; several vendors have highlighted these themes in product announcements and trade coverage during 2024 to 2025.
Asia remains the single largest growth engine for construction PU adhesives, driven by sustained infrastructure investment, urbanization, large-scale housing programmes and rising adoption of modern construction methods (prefab, EIFS, curtain walls). China and India dominate volume demand in absolute terms, while Southeast Asian markets (Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia) show above-average growth due to infrastructure projects, industrial parks and growing commercial real estate pipelines. In China and India, local producers and multinationals compete on price and technical support; multinationals are responding with local production and technical service hubs to shorten lead times and provide formulation support for humid-climate performance. The Asia focus also means suppliers must manage raw material feedstock volatility (polyols and isocyanates) and regulatory shifts around emissions and safety.

Regional Insights
Southeast Asias adhesives & sealants market has been expanding briskly with projected multi-percent CAGR rates, supported by national infrastructure and housing programmes and by growth in the regional construction chemicals sector. Research providers estimate Southeast Asia adhesives & sealants markets to be growing at a CAGR above ~6% in the mid-2020s, and construction chemicals which include adhesives are receiving heightened investment. Indonesia is a standout within ASEAN due to very large planned infrastructure investments (national projects, new capital development and renewables/energy projects) and a sizable domestic construction market; government infrastructure spending and public projects continue to underpin robust demand for construction consumables including adhesives. Market analysts have documented Indonesias strong construction market trajectory in 20242025 and note that local demand conditions support both international suppliers and regional manufacturers establishing local lines. For ASEAN suppliers and distributors, success factors include competitive landed cost, local technical support for installers, rapid supply of cartridge formats for retail and bulk supply for contractors, and alignment with local VOC and building-material standards.

The construction polyurethane adhesives industry faces several challenges: feedstock volatility (polyol and isocyanate raw material price swings) that compresses margins or forces frequent price adjustments; regulatory pressure for lower VOCs and improved worker safety that necessitates R&D and reformulation; competition from lower-cost water-based and hybrid polymer technologies in price-sensitive segments; and the operational complexity of balancing global R&D with local production and service footprints. In Asia and ASEAN specifically, logistics and tariff variability, localized technical expectations (substrate compatibility under tropical climates), and price sensitivity in certain markets make channel strategy and local partnerships essential.

To capture sustained value, manufacturers should pursue a three-pronged strategy: invest in regional manufacturing (local-for-local) to reduce lead times and lower landed costs, deepen technical support services (onsite training for contractors and applicators) to lock in specification preference, and accelerate development of low-VOC, fast-cure and humidity-tolerant formulations that meet both regulatory and installer needs. For distributors and investors, differentiation can be achieved by combining competitive pricing with inventory availability, technical training, and bundled system solutions (adhesive + primer + sealant) for specific construction segments like façade, flooring and precast assembly.
Product Models
Construction polyurethane adhesives are versatile bonding materials widely used in structural, flooring, panel, and insulation applications due to their excellent strength, flexibility, and resistance to moisture and temperature variations.
Liquid types are commonly used for large-area bonding and coating. Notable products include:
SikaBond®-T55 - Sika AG: A one-component liquid polyurethane adhesive for bonding wood flooring, offering strong elastic bonding and excellent acoustic performance.
Loctite® U-09FL - Henkel: A two-component liquid adhesive designed for metal, composite, and plastic bonding in construction and industrial assembly.
Dow Betaseal 1965 - Dow: Designed for glass bonding in structural glazing and façade applications.
Tremco Illbruck PU700 - Tremco: High-strength liquid adhesive suitable for subfloor and panel bonding applications.
Soudal PU Construct - Soudal: Fast-setting adhesive used for structural timber bonding and concrete repair.
Paste types are ideal for gap-filling and vertical applications. Examples include:

Huntsman Adcote 812A Tape - Huntsman: Solvent-based polyurethane tape providing high tack and resistance for glass and composite bonding.

Ashland Purelam PU Series - Ashland: Thermoplastic polyurethane adhesive tape with strong moisture barrier properties for structural laminates.

Construction polyurethane adhesives are positioned for steady, mid-single-digit to low-double-digit growth through the remainder of the decade as construction activity in Asia and Southeast Asia expands and as installers and specifiers increasingly demand higher-performance, faster-curing, and lower-emission formulations. Success in the region requires combining competitively priced products with local production, technical support and portfolio differentiation around sustainability and on-site efficiency.
