The global wood adhesives and binders market size reached USD 18.1 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 25.0 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.48% during 2025-2033.
Wood adhesives and binders are polymeric materials that are applied on the surface of two or more wood pieces to bind them. They offer numerous advantages to end users which include ease of use, efficiency and affordability. They also have other beneficial properties such as long-lasting bonds, and resistance against chemicals, temperature and microorganisms. They are available in natural and synthetic varieties and are utilized in both commercial and residential applications for making furniture and engineered wood products, among others.
Wood adhesives and binders are primarily produced from fossil-derived polymers as they are cost-effective and offer superior performance in terms of water and heat resistance. However, owing to the rising environmental concerns, end users are shifting toward green products that are manufactured using bio-based polymers. Moreover, governments in several countries are implementing stringent regulations against the usage of harmful chemicals like formaldehyde in the development of different products which, in turn, is strengthening the growth of the market. In line with this, market players are focusing on the production of new varieties that have a low content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Apart from this, the growing construction industry, in confluence with the rising trend of using wooden furniture, is catalyzing the demand for wood adhesives and binders around the world. In addition to this, increasing industrial applications, including the manufacturing and assembly of doors, flooring, cabinets, and windows, are supporting the market growth.
