Market Dynamics

Growing Adoption of Wood-Based-Panel Adhesive

In the process of developing engineered wood-based panels such as plywood, particle board, oriented strand board, medium-density fiberboard, and high-density fiberboard, adhesives are the material of choice for binding wood strips, chips, fibers, strands, and veneers. The government's efforts to encourage residential building along with the growing population and fast urbanization are predicted to drive demand for wood-based panels that would in turn support the market's expansion. Wood-based panels could potentially be regarded as weak owing to their propensity to be light and low in density. While it is possible to strengthen lower-density panels like particle boards entirely, higher-density boards like MDF and plywood can also profit from local reinforcing using anchoring adhesive, which is frequently done to facilitate fastener applications.

Increasing Demand for Nanomaterial Adhesive

The use of nanocellulose in wood adhesives results in improvements to the adhesives' mechanical and performance attributes. The formation of chemical bonds in the adhesive system is essential to improving the characteristics further. The industry for wood-based products may potentially make use of a variety of easily accessible nanomaterials to improve the functionality of currently available products or to develop new, high-value forest products. The analysis focuses on current advancements in the industry's use of nanotechnology in wood-based products. There is an increasing demand to introduce sustainable and biodegradable nanomaterial adhesives to address growing environmental concerns.

Market Segmentation

  • Based on the resin, the market is segmented into melamine formaldehyde, phenol resorcinol formaldehyde, polyurethane, and others (isocyanates, polyvinyl acetate (PVA)).
  • Based on the product, the market is segmented into cross-laminated timber (CLT), glulam, plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), medium, density fiberboard (MDF), and laminated veneer lumber (LVL).
  • Based on the application, the market is segmented into flooring, furniture, doors & windows, and housing components.

Melamine Formaldehyde Engineered Wood Adhesives are Projected to Hold the Largest Segment

The melamine formaldehyde-engineered wood adhesives segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market. The primary factors supporting the growth include melamine formaldehyde (MF) has remarkable performance in engineered wood products. Considering its superior resistance to bases, acids, and solvents, it is the material of choice in chemically demanding situations. Furthermore, its capacity to give bonded structures mechanical strength is essential for preserving their integrity and longevity under physical strain. Controlled application of heat and pressure is necessary for manufacturing procedures employing metal fiber (MF) to enable efficient curing, which is essential to attaining the best possible bond strength and stability. For instance, Akzo Nobel N.V. offers AkzoNobel Melamine-Formaldehyde and Melamine-urea-formaldehyde systems are used in load-bearing constructions and in other applications where there is demand for high-durability glue lines.

Furniture Segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share

The furniture segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the market. Engineered wood adhesives are used in the assembly of furniture and cabinets, the manufacture of engineered wood products, and the construction of residential and commercial structures. Adhesives transfer and distribute loads between components, thereby increasing the strength and stiffness of wood products. Adhesives are used extensively in the furniture industry to ensure product safety and appropriateness as well as streamline the production process. Adhesive systems for furniture are used to fuse wood, metal, foam, cloth, and plastic together.

Regional Outlook

Global engineered wood adhesives market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). 

Growing Demand in Building and Furniture in Europe

  • The regional growth is attributed to the increasing use of wood-based panels as they are more robust, well-finished, and lightweight than traditional wood. These panels can be utilized to make strong, long-lasting interior decorative pieces, unlike glass.
  • Among the major producers of wood adhesives in Europe is Germany. With the building and furniture industries' strong demand, the wood adhesives market has grown rapidly in recent years. The furniture business has benefited greatly from robust economic development, which has also raised private consumption. According to the European Union (EU), in February 2024, the EU has been a net exporter of roundwood in the past four years, with exports to non-EU countries surpassing imports by 12.5 million m3 (cubic meters) in 2022. 25.0% of the EU’s roundwood production in 2022 was used as fuelwood; the rest was used for sawn wood and veneers, pulp, and paper production.
