Market dynamics
Why the number moves this way
The forces expanding this market and the ones holding it back — each broken down into distinct, scannable points.
Growth drivers
Pulling the market up
- Aging Infrastructure and Repair Demand Over 60% of bridges and highways in the U.S. and Europe were built before 1980, creating a USD 1.2 trillion backlog in rehabilitation needs. The Federal Highway Administration estimates that 42% of U.S. bridges require structural repairs, directly fueling demand for bonding agents like SikaTop-107 and MAPEI Planiseal 15, which offer chlo…
- Green Building and Sustainability Certifications LEED v4.1 now awards up to 10 points for projects using low-VOC bonding agents. In 2025, 34% of new commercial construction in North America targeted LEED certification, increasing the uptake of water-based latex formulations from DuPont and Arkema, which emit 40% less volatile organic compounds than traditional solvent-based s…
- Growth in Marine and Offshore Construction The offshore wind sector installed 10.8 GW of new capacity in 2025, up 55% from 2023. This surge has driven demand for epoxy-based bonding agents such as ExxonMobil Chemical’s Exxpro 900 series, which provide corrosion resistance in saline environments and are now specified in 78% of new monopile foundations in the North Sea.
- Prefabrication and Modular Construction The global prefab construction market is projected to grow at 6.9% CAGR through 2030, increasing the need for bonding agents that enable rapid assembly and high early-strength development. Companies like LyondellBasell have responded with Elastomer-modified bonding systems that reduce curing time by 30% in precast concrete applications.
Restraints
Holding it back
- Fluctuating Raw Material Costs The price of bisphenol A, a key epoxy resin precursor, surged 28% in Q2 2025 due to petrochemical plant disruptions in the U.S. Gulf Coast, directly impacting margins for epoxy-based bonding agents. Producers like Dow and Huntsman reported a 12% decline in EBITDA in Q3 2025 as a result.
- Regulatory Scrutiny on VOC Emissions The EU’s REACH regulation tightened limits on aromatic solvents in construction chemicals in January 2025, forcing formulators to reformulate products. Companies like BASF and Sika incurred R&D costs exceeding USD 22 million to develop compliant alternatives, delaying product launches by 6–9 months.
- Skilled Labor Shortages in Construction The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a 14% decline in certified concrete finishers between 2020 and 2025. This shortage has slowed adoption of advanced bonding systems that require specialized application techniques, particularly in flooring and decorative concrete segments.
Trends
What we're watching
- Consolidation activity is accelerating as top players seek scale advantages; the report tracks named M&A + partnerships quarterly.

Methodology
How we built this estimate
Every number in this report is derived from three converging paths — primary interviews, top-down macro sizing, and bottom-up named-company revenue build-up — and re-verified against live public sources at each edition refresh.
-
Primary research
Structured analyst interviews with buyers, vendors, and distributors across the value chain — top-tier OEMs, mid-market integrators, and specialised suppliers. Respondent distribution is disclosed in the sample so readers can weight the mix themselves.
-
Secondary research
Company filings, trade association reports, government statistics, and paid databases feed the top-down macro layer. Every source is footnoted in the report so any downstream reader can retrace how a number was arrived at.
-
Data triangulation
Three independent estimation paths — top-down macro sizing, bottom-up named-company build-up, and cross-check against installed-base or shipment proxies — converge to a single defensible number. Divergences greater than 8% trigger a re-review.
-
Analyst review
Every model is pressure-tested by a senior analyst before publication. Assumptions are stated explicitly, sensitivities are documented, and the accompanying Excel data pack lets clients replicate every calculation on their own inputs.
