In South & Central America, countries are experiencing significant urbanization and infrastructure development growth. New housing projects, commercial buildings, and public infrastructure are being built to accommodate the growing population. Wood adhesives are essential in producing engineered wood products such as plywood and particleboard, which are extensively used in construction projects. As construction activities surge, the demand for wood adhesive increases. Moreover, rising consumer preferences for aesthetics and increasing investments in construction fuel the wood adhesives market growth in South & Central America. Wooden floorings are gaining immense traction in Latin American countries. Construction of resorts and luxury hotels involves large-scale use of wooden floors to offer aesthetic appeal. Also, wooden floors are resistant to stains and require little maintenance. The expanding tourism sector in Latin American countries will amplify the construction of hotels and resorts, subsequently stimulating market growth. For instance, Chile's tourism sector is expanding strongly, especially in remote areas, presenting lucrative opportunities for the wood adhesives market in the country.

Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the South & Central America wood adhesives market analysis are resin type, technology, and application.
Sustainable and eco-friendly materials are the subject of extensive research in various fields, fueled by the driving utilization in commercial applications. The easy availability of natural raw materials for the production of eco-friendly polymers is an added factor boosting its supply and demand. Further, due to rising concerns and awareness about the social and environmental impacts of synthesized chemicals, customers are shifting toward the utilization of renewable wood adhesives. Stringent government regulations pertaining to the utilization of toxic chemicals across the globe have encouraged many market players to develop nontoxic alternatives and green products, aiding global sustainability goals. The global transition toward sustainability and circular economy leads to a rise in research and development activities associated with novel sustainable wood adhesives.
The rising demand for sustainable materials has prompted manufacturers to develop eco-friendly wood adhesives for various applications. In 2023, Henkel AG & Co KGaA announced the launch of two new wood adhesives that are developed with bio-based materials; the new Loctite engineered wood adhesives, HB S ECO and CR 821 ECO, reduce CO2 equivalent emissions by more than 60% compared to fossil-based alternatives. In May 2024, Garnica launched Naturbind, a high-performance bio-based adhesive. The developed product is derived from a tannin-based source that does not contain formaldehyde. It is FSC plywood and CE2+ certified, as well as offers high indoor air quality standards. Thus, the replacement of petroleum-derived polymers with eco-friendly materials, otherwise sourced from natural sources, is expected to become a significant trend in the wood adhesives market during the forecast period.
Based on country, the South & Central America wood adhesives market comprises Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South & Central America. Brazil held the largest share in 2023.
The flourishing residential and commercial sectors in Brazil are the prime contributors to the wood adhesives market in the country. Brazil is one of the frontrunners in furniture production in South & Central America, and the cost of production of these products is considerably low in the country. In addition, the proliferating construction industry is expected to fuel the furniture market in the coming years, bolstering the demand for wood adhesives. According to the International Trade Administration report, in 2023, the Ministry of Finance and the banking system issued credit lines for the construction of over 530,000 new residential units. Burgeoning construction activities and investments by international furniture manufacturers boost the demand for wood adhesives.
