Americas Structural Adhesives Market Overview

The Americas Structural Adhesives Market size is projected to reach US$4.0 billion by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 5.1% during 2022-2027. Structural adhesives are high-strength materials, widely used to bond building components and parts of durable medical devices, machines and instruments. Also, structural adhesives find their applications in bonding the components and parts of disposable devices like connectors, drug delivery, tubing, catheters and Y-sites. The various types of structural adhesives include phenolics, epoxy, polyurethanes, acrylics, cyanoacrylates and methyl methacrylate. The increase in construction and building maintenance activity would drive America’s structural adhesives industry. According to the US Department of Commerce, the US construction spending was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of US$1,779.8 billion during May 2022 and is 9.7% above the May 2021 estimate of US$1,621.9 billion. Therefore, the rise in construction spending would increase construction activity and, in turn, would drive the demand for structural adhesives during the forecast period. However, the global economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a huge drop in demand for the Americas structural adhesives market owing to a reduction in building construction and maintenance activity all across the world. It had a significant impact on the growth of the Americas Structural Adhesives industry.

Americas Structural Adhesives Market Segment Analysis – by Resin

The polyurethane-based segment held the largest share of the Americas Structural Adhesives Market in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% during 2022-2027. Polyurethane structural adhesives are one of the most important types of structural adhesives owing to the rigid, flexible and soft nature of the material. Polyurethane structural adhesives are widely used instead of traditional fasteners for joining and sealing applications in various end-use industries. In the Automotive sector, it helps to reduce the overall weight of vehicles to achieve better fuel efficiency and curb carbon emissions. The increase in automotive production would raise the demand for the polyurethane structural adhesives industry. According to Statistics Canada, around 1.6 million new motor vehicles were registered in Canada in 2021 with an increase of 6.5% from 2020. In 2021, 93.4% of new zero-emission vehicles were registered in Canada’s three largest provinces; 42.8% of new zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) were registered in Quebec, 27.7% in British Columbia and 22.9% in Ontario. Thus, with the rise in automotive production, the demand for polyurethane structural adhesives would increase and in turn boost the demand for the Americas structural adhesives market during the forecast period.

Americas Structural Adhesives Market Segment Analysis – by End-use Industry

The building & construction sector held a significant share of the Americas Structural Adhesives Market in 2021 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Structural adhesives based on polyurethane, epoxy, acrylic, cyanoacrylate, methyl methacrylate and phenolics resins are widely used for various applications such as concrete to concrete bonding, ceramic tiles to concrete bonding, masonry, construction panels, outside doors, civil engineering, composite bonding, metal bonding and structural glass bonding owing to their ease of application and help in reducing cracks formed by shrinkage. The demand for structural adhesives is rising due to the increase in residential & commercial construction activity. Residential construction spending was valued at US$938.2 billion in May 2022, a 0.2% increase as compared to the April 2022 estimate of US$935.9 billion. Such growth in the investment for residential projects is expected to drive the requirement for structural adhesives which in turn would propel the growth of the Americas Structural Adhesives market size during the forecast period.

Americas Structural Adhesives Market Segment Analysis – by Geography

North American region dominated the Americas Structural Adhesives Market with a share of 80% in 2021, owing to the rising investment towards construction, rising construction activity and repair & maintenance of building in the region. Structural adhesives based on epoxy adhesives, structural polyurethane, silicones and structural acrylic give at least 5 to 8 MPa tensile shear strength and are widely used for various structural parts bonding. Construction is one of the largest customers for manufacturing, mining and a variety of services. As per Associated General Contractors of America, the U.S. construction sector is a major contributor to the economy and creates nearly US$1.4 trillion worth of structures each year. Thus, with the rise in construction activity, the demand for structural adhesives would increase during the forecast period. Furthermore, the growing demand for structure adhesives in automotive sectors for bonding various auto components would raise the growth in the structural adhesives market. As per Trading Economics, car production in Mexico has increased by 6% to 285,318 units in June of 2022 as compared to the same period of 2021, following a 15.2% surge in the previous month.
