Adhesives and Sealants Market Outlook:
Adhesives and Sealants Market size was valued at USD 79.3 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach a valuation of USD 156.2 billion by the end of 2037, rising at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period, i.e., 2026-2037. In 2026, the industry size of adhesive and sealants is assessed at USD 83.9 billion.
The global market is currently undergoing considerable expansion due to strategic mergers and acquisitions, as well as portfolio adjustments. In August 2024, H.B. Fuller acquired HS Butyl Limited to expand in the high-performance sealing segment and gain a better handle on sustainable construction markets. The shift toward specialty and high-performance adhesives is also stimulated by the international regulations on green buildings. There is increasing demand for energy-efficient systems in automobiles, aerospace, and construction industries. On the other hand, sustainability certifications such as the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification PLUS (ISCC PLUS) are emerging to promote the use of environmentally friendly adhesives. Consumer trends towards bio-based and low-emission products further strengthen the market momentum. In general, innovation and consolidation are establishing new growth trends.
The expansion of the construction industry is also a key factor that is influencing growth opportunities for the market. For example, the implementation of the Chips Act 2023 of the EU in September 2023 encourages the construction of new semiconductor factories and the expansion of existing factories. Construction materials, such as glass, concrete, plastics, and others, need adhesives to show effective adhesion, easier application techniques, and improved performance. Similarly, sealants are used to close gaps and joints in construction structures, so that leaks of water and air can be prevented.
