The global 2K epoxy adhesives market size was valued at USD 11.4 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 3.5% from 2025 to 2034.
With the growth of electronic home equipment and smart-home automation, the need for two-component (2K) epoxy adhesives within the electronics has been growing. Two-component epoxy adhesives are extensively used in electronics as they have strong bonding power, chemical and electrical tolerance. These adhesives also have demand in other devices like battery sealing as well as magnet bonding.
Across the world, top players in the electronics industry are forming joint ventures and partnerships to spearhead development within consumer electronics as well as smart home space. In addition, increasing income levels in developed as well as developing countries are contributing towards the growing demand for new smart appliances. This increase in demand for smart devices will lead to an increase in demand for two-part epoxy adhesives and other key raw materials. Furthermore, the increasing trend towards shrinking the size of electronics is increasing the demand for adhesives that provide the effectiveness and accuracy needed for smaller components.

The market is still seeing obstacles over its growth because of the rigorous Environment Protection Laws that are being enacted. Solvent based adhesives, epoxy adhesives, and acrylic adhesive production, includes the combining of an adhesive with an appropriate solvent that results in a solution made of polymerized adhesive. The solvent based adhesives incorporate carbon in their structural formulation that results in the release of volatile organic compounds that further cause environmental pollution and in return have adverse effects on human beings.
Concerns over these issues have in consequence resulted in some governments, especially North America enacting strict policies. These policies require adhesive manufacturers to curb solvent emissions. As a result, both consumers and manufacturers are becoming more reluctant to use solvent-based adhesives.
2K Epoxy adhesives are a requirement in the aerospace industry when it comes to bonding, tamper proofing, thread locking, and gasketing processes. These adhesives are commonly installed on seat trays, overhead vehicles, as well as the interior and exterior of the engine’s compartments. When compared to the traditional use of mechanical fasteners, adhesives are a great replacement because of their reduced weight that results in added flexibility and decreases fuel costs.
The 2k epoxy adhesives market serves numerous end-use industries which include transportation, aerospace OEM, construction, automotive, electronics, marine, wind energy industries and others. Within the aerospace industry, such adhesives are used in the form of 2K epoxy glue solutions and for a range of applications. They are employed in bonding helicopter rotor blades and in the assembling of aircraft fuselages and structural elements in spacecrafts. Owing to their combination of mechanical stability and strength, they have a high preference in the aircraft, spacecraft and commercial airline industries. It is estimated the end-use aerospace OEM market revenue will reach up to USD 4 billion by 2034.
The increasing demand of the construction, automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries is set to expedite the growth of the U.S. 2K epoxy adhesives market which is expected to expand consistently. The revenue generated by the US is expected to surpass USD 13.9 billion by the year 2034. The robust performance characteristics of 2k epoxy adhesives which includes chemical, resistance along with high bonding strength and durability has furthered the growth of the market.
Moreover, there is market interest in the so-called “green” formulations that focus on sustainability and limit the environmental impact. There is a growing demand in the manufacturing sector for lightweight high performance materials as well. Nonetheless, the growth trajectory still has room for improvement as the supply chain instability and the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) regulations pose a challenge.
The North America 2K epoxy adhesives market is growing, primarily due to demand brought forth from the construction, automotive, and electronics industries. The industry is also beginning to shift gears and aiming towards sustainability in regard to manufacturing as well as a shift in focus towards the use of high-performance adhesives. Furthermore, eco-friendly items that also serve the purpose of modifying the properties of adhesives are becoming more commonplace. On the other hand, North America focusing on eco-friendly practices would be hard to enforce due to the new regulations regarding raw materials and environmental policies which introduces challenges for growth rates.
3M, Henkel AG and Sika AG are pillars of the 2K epoxy adhesive sector currently. Their mergers, partnerships and acquisitions enable them to maintain their position within the market. These companies, for example Arkema and Huntsman Corporation, place a significant amount of focus into R&D further helping them serve a variety of markets and clients in need of their services. Then there are regional companies that lie on the opposite end of the spectrum such as Panacol-Elosol GmbH and Cemedine Co., Ltd that devote their research towards narrower markets which fosters competition.
