Market Dynamics
Introduction
Floor adhesives are specialized bonding agents used to secure flooring materials to subfloors or underlayments. They are crucial in ensuring stability, durability, and a smooth finish for various types of floors, such as tiles, wood, vinyl, carpet, and laminate. Available in forms like epoxy, polyurethane, acrylic, or water-based adhesives, they cater to different flooring types and conditions. Floor adhesives offer strong adhesion, moisture resistance, and flexibility to accommodate movement or temperature changes. Their application varies based on the material, with some requiring trowels, rollers, or sprayers for even distribution. Proper adhesive selection ensures long-lasting and reliable flooring installation.
COVID-19 Impact
The upward trajectory of the floor adhesives market in the region is likely to continue with attractive growth opportunities in the entire ecosystem of the market in the coming years. The outbreak of the pandemic shook the construction industry to the core. As a result, the industry recorded a massive decline across regions. The impact of this has been recorded across its supply chain, including the demand for floor adhesives, which plummeted by over -7.8% in the year 2020.
Market Drivers
The major factors driving the growth of the North American floor adhesives market are:
- Growing North American construction industry.
- Increasing consumption of adhesives in North America.
- Increasing usage of water-based adhesives in order to reduce VOC emissions.
- Replacement of mechanical fastening systems with adhesives.
- The ability of adhesives to bond dissimilar materials.
The market dynamics of floor adhesives in North America are different from those of other parts of the world. The region has an overall high penetration of adhesives in flooring applications as compared to Asia-Pacific, which is the largest flooring adhesives market. Also, the per capita consumption of floor adhesives is quite higher in North America as compared to that of Asia-Pacific.
