[192 Pages Report] The Flooring Adhesive Market size was estimated at USD 7.84 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 8.27 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 5.76% to reach USD 11.62 billion by 2030.
Flooring adhesives are specialized bonding agents applied to secure various types of flooring materials to subfloors and underlayments. These adhesives are designed to provide durable, long-lasting adherence, ensuring the stability and longevity of flooring installations. The choice of adhesive is critical and is determined by the specific flooring material, environmental conditions, and the intended use of the space. Rising global economic standards, increasing investments in infrastructure projects, and the rapid pace of urbanization and the resulting construction activities have fuelled the need for flooring adhesives. Furthermore, research institutions and private and public entities are focusing on producing adhesives using plastic waste, which has further created a beneficial market for flooring adhesives. However, the volatility of raw material prices affects the stability of adhesive costs. Regulatory pressures, especially concerning VOC emissions and environmental impact, require constant adaptation and could incur higher production costs. However, in recent years, manufacturers have focused their efforts on producing eco-friendly and low-volatile organic content(VOC) adhesive products. Exploring niche markets such as marine or automotive flooring, which may have specific adhesive requirements, and leveraging smart technologies for quality control, application precision, and performance monitoring of adhesives can further expand the market for flooring adhesives.
Resin: Emerging preference for polyurethane resins due to their robust performance characteristics
Acrylic adhesives are known for their high environmental resistance and fast setting times. These adhesives are suitable for a diverse range of flooring materials, including carpets, vinyl, and linoleum. They are preferred for their strong bond strength and ease of use in both indoor and outdoor applications. Acrylic adhesives have a moderate cost and offer a good balance between performance and affordability. Epoxy adhesives are characterized by their good bonding strength and durability. They are highly resistant to chemicals, temperature changes, and wear, making them ideal for high-traffic and industrial areas. Epoxy is often the preferred choice for installing rubber and wood flooring, especially in commercial and industrial settings. Due to their robust performance, epoxy adhesives are typically more expensive than other types. Polyurethane adhesives offer a versatile solution with their flexible bond and excellent performance on wood and concrete surfaces. They are particularly favored for hardwood and engineered wood flooring installations due to their moisture curing properties, which provide a durable bond even under fluctuating temperature and moisture conditions. Polyurethane adhesives are more expensive but offer unmatched flexibility and strength. Polyvinyl Acetate, commonly known as PVA or white glue, is renowned for its ease of use and affordability. PVA adhesives are best suited for light-duty applications and are commonly used for laminate and wood flooring installations. They are water-based and offer a safer, less toxic alternative for indoor applications. Despite their lower resilience compared to other adhesive types, PVA adhesives hold a significant market share due to their cost-effectiveness.
Application: Advancement to improve the versatility, design options, durability, and comfort of resilient flooring
Laminate flooring adhesives are primarily used for bonding layers of laminate flooring materials, which require adhesives that can withstand heavy foot traffic, are resistant to moisture, and provide a flexible yet strong bond to accommodate expansion and contraction. The preference for laminate flooring adhesives comes from their affordability, durability, and ease of maintenance. Adhesives for resilient flooring are specialized to cater to the needs of vinyl, linoleum, and rubber flooring installations. These adhesives must offer high moisture resistance, durability against abrasion, and the flexibility to support the elastic properties of resilient flooring materials. The selection of adhesives in this category is inclined towards those providing environmental benefits, such as low VOC emissions and enhanced bonding strength to support the trend of luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) and planks (LVP). Wooden flooring adhesives are designed to meet the unique demands of natural wood installations, requiring moisture control, dimensional stability, and the ability to form a strong bond without damaging the wood. Preferences for wooden flooring adhesives revolve around formulations that minimize the risk of warping, allow for natural wood expansion, and showcase the inherent beauty of the wood grain.
