The Europe wood adhesives market size is expected to reach US$ 2,270.56 million by 2031 from US$ 1,507.34 million in 2023. The market is estimated to record a CAGR of 5.3% from 2023 to 2031.
In Europe, the demand for wood adhesives is increasing primarily due to the resurgence of the construction and real estate sectors. As urbanization continues and the need for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects grows, there is a heightened demand for wood products. Wood adhesives are essential in producing engineered wood products such as plywood, particleboard, and laminated veneer lumber, which are extensively used in modern construction for their strength and versatility. Further, Europe's strong push toward sustainability and environmental consciousness has propelled the market growth. European regulations and consumer preferences are increasingly favoring sustainable and eco-friendly materials. Wood adhesives formulated to be environmentally friendly, such as those based on renewable resources, are in high demand. Manufacturers are responding to these trends by developing and making adhesives that meet stringent environmental standards, thus propelling market growth. For instance, in January 2024, Durante Adesivi, a leading company in producing hot melt adhesives for wood, assembly, textile, and paper industries, signed an agreement with the Belgian group Soudal to sell a majority stake.
The presence of key market players, including Henkel, Arkema Group, H.B. Fuller Company, and others, contributes to the wood adhesives market growth. Key regional players are adopting strategic initiatives, such as mergers, acquisitions, collaborations, partnerships, and product launches, to fulfil the growing demand for wood adhesives and expand their geographical presence. For instance, in February 2024, Henkel and Covestro collaborated to increase the sustainability of engineered wood adhesives.

Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the Europe wood adhesives market analysis are resin type, technology, and application.
Formaldehyde, phenol-formaldehyde, melamine-formaldehyde, and polymeric methylene diisocyanate are used for the production of wood-based panels, such as particleboard, medium/high-density fiberboard, oriented strand board, and plywood. Polyurethane, phenol-formaldehyde, phenol-resorcinol-formaldehyde, emulsion polymer isocyanate, polyvinyl acetate, and other formulation chemistries are used for solid wood lamination and construction beams and coating of boards with veneers or finish foils, among other applications. Key manufacturers operating in the wood adhesives market invest significantly in strategic development initiatives such as product innovation and research and development to enhance their market position and attract a wide customer base. In May 2023, Arkema SA’s Bostik launched Supergrip SG6518 and SG6520 adhesives for the woodworking industry. The launched product is a hot melt polyurethane reactive (HMPUR) adhesive solution produced for edge banding applications.
In June 2024, Huntsman Corp announced the launch of a new innovation center in Tienen, Belgium, to strengthen its research and development capabilities and reinforce its commitment to its customers in the market in Europe. Thus, strategic expansion and research initiatives associated with wood adhesives are expected to create lucrative opportunities in the wood adhesives market over the forecasted period.
Based on country, the Europe wood adhesives market comprises Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Russia, and the Rest of Europe. The Rest of Europe held the largest share in 2023.
The Rest of Europe consists of countries such as Russia, Poland, the Netherlands, Greece, Belgium, and others. The demand for wood adhesives in the region is attributed to the booming furniture industry and growing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable home décor products. Exports of windows and doors from Poland increased by 32% to reach US$ 4.68 billion in 2022 from US$ 3.40 billion in 2021. The construction sector is a crucial component of Poland's GDP; it held ~10% of GDP in 2022. According to the European Construction Industry Federation (FICE), in 2022, the construction output of Hungary was US$ 20.76 billion, ~6.3% higher than in 2021. The demand for building and construction materials is likely to propel as the country invests in infrastructure development and construction projects. Therefore, the expanding end-use industries propel the demand for wood adhesives in the Rest of Europe.
