Floor adhesives market seen rising to $2.81 billion by 2031

Mordor Intelligence says the global floor adhesives market will grow from $2.12 billion in 2025 to $2.81 billion by 2031, driven by construction activity, renovation demand and tighter indoor air-quality rules. Epoxy systems lead the market as manufacturers push low-VOC, water-based and bio-enhanced products. Why it matters: - Floor adhesives are tied to construction, renovation and flooring replacement demand across residential, commercial and industrial projects. - Growth in low-emission formulations matters as indoor air-quality rules and sustainability requirements reshape product buying decisions. - The shift toward modular flooring and resilient materials like luxury vinyl tile is expanding the addressable market for specialty bonding systems. What happened: - Mordor Intelligence said the global floor adhesives market was valued at $2.12 billion in 2025. - The market is projected to rise to $2.22 billion in 2026 and reach $2.81 billion by 2031. - That implies a compound annual growth rate of 4.78% from 2026 to 2031. - The report was issued from Hyderabad, Telangana, India, on June 18, 2026. The details: - Asia-Pacific is supporting demand through infrastructure activity and urban expansion. - Developed markets are adding demand through renovation-led consumption. - Tighter indoor air-quality regulations are favoring low-emission bonding solutions. - Manufacturers are expanding bio-based polyurethane offerings to meet sustainability targets. - Supply-chain localization in North America and Europe is reducing reliance on imports, especially for LVT applications. - Volatile raw material costs are pushing producers toward more efficient sourcing strategies. - Modular flooring systems and removable adhesives are broadening use among facility managers and DIY users. - Global construction spending continues to rise, creating steady demand for floor adhesive products. - Infrastructure buildouts in emerging economies are reinforcing construction pipelines. - Large manufacturing projects, including semiconductor plants, are adding demand for high-performance flooring systems. - In mature markets, delayed maintenance and renovation cycles are increasing replacement demand for flooring systems and adhesives. - Improving financing conditions and commercial construction recovery are supporting renewed activity. - Homeowners are spending more on upgrades that emphasize durability and indoor air quality. - Low-emission and easy-to-apply products are gaining use in DIY and retail-driven markets. - Resilient flooring, including luxury vinyl tile and similar formats, is driving demand for adhesives that can handle moisture, movement and long-term wear. - Offices, healthcare facilities and schools are adopting modular flooring systems that need specialized bonding solutions for easier replacement and maintenance. - Epoxy is listed as a key resin type in the market. - Other resin types include polyurethane, acrylic, vinyl and other resin types. - Water-borne, solvent-borne and other technologies are included in the market segmentation. - Tile and stone, carpet, wood, laminate, resilient flooring and other applications are part of the market. - Residential, commercial and industrial end users make up the demand base. - Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, South America, and the Middle East and Africa are the geographic segments. - Mordor Intelligence said its assessment combines structured primary research with validation of industry data. - Epoxy and polyurethane-based systems are particularly important in Asia-Pacific because of durability and specialized application needs. - North America is supported by construction recovery and government-backed investment in advanced manufacturing facilities. - Commercial renovation cycles in healthcare and education are expected to support adhesive consumption in North America. - Infrastructure programs in Canada are increasing demand for moisture-resistant and high-strength bonding solutions. - Europe is seeing stable volume growth but remains heavily influenced by chemical and environmental regulations. - Those regulations are encouraging low-emission and compliant formulations that can support profitability. - Avery Dennison announced a definitive agreement in August 2025 to acquire Meridian’s flooring adhesives business. - Avery Dennison completed that acquisition in October 2025, including the Taylor Adhesives, Polycom and Frontier Products brands. - H.B. Fuller introduced next-generation ceramic tile adhesives in May 2025 with enhanced flexibility and moisture resistance. - 3M expanded its ceramic adhesive portfolio in June 2025 with high-temperature-resistant bonding materials. - Market participants are focusing on low-VOC, water-based and bio-enhanced adhesive systems. - Differentiation is being driven by durability, ease of application, compatibility with LVT and modular tiles, and bonding performance under moisture and temperature changes. - The report is available in Japanese, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese through Mordor Intelligence’s website. - Mordor Intelligence lists 3M, Ardex Group, Arkema, Ashland, BASF, Dow, Forbo Flooring, H.B. Fuller, Henkel, Jowat, LATICRETE International, MAPEI, Pidilite Industries, Saint-Gobain, Sika, Tesa and Wacker Chemie among market companies. Between the lines: - The market outlook points to a mix of volume growth and product-mix upgrades, with higher-value low-emission products likely to benefit from regulation and renovation demand. - Consolidation, such as Avery Dennison’s Meridian acquisition, suggests larger players are trying to deepen specialty flooring portfolios and gain share in a fragmented market. - Regional dynamics are diverging: Asia-Pacific is growing on infrastructure, North America on manufacturing and renovation, and Europe on compliance-led demand rather than volume acceleration. What’s next: - Producers are likely to keep investing in low-VOC, water-based and bio-based systems as environmental requirements tighten. - Demand should remain supported by infrastructure spending, commercial renovation and growth in modular flooring installations. - Competitive pressure is likely to stay focused on product performance, regulatory compliance and compatibility with modern flooring formats. The bottom line: - Floor adhesives are moving from a commodity category toward a specialty materials market shaped by regulation, sustainability and flooring system design.
