South America Industrial Wood Adhesives Market Key Players and Forecast by 2027

The South America industrial wood adhesives market is expected to grow from US$ 275.15 million in 2020 to US$ 365.73 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2020 to 2027.

South and Central America comprises developed and developing countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and others. The continuous developments have had a positive impact on Brazil and Argentina's economy that has advanced to a large extent. The increase in population and continuous advancement in the end-use industries such as construction and others have positively impacted Brazil and Argentina's industrial wood adhesive market that has advanced to a large extent. Wood adhesives have extensive use in the building and construction industry. Several factors, including new construction, renovation, and retrofitting activities for buildings and infrastructure, positively influence the market growth and are anticipated to drive the wood adhesives market during the forecast period.
 

In case of COVID-19, in South America, especially Brazil, witnessed an unprecedented rise in number of coronavirus cases, which led to the discontinuation of industrial wood adhesives manufacturing activities. Downfall of other chemical and materials manufacturing sectors has subsequently impacted the demand for industrial wood adhesives during the early months of 2020. Moreover, decline in the overall construction and building materials manufacturing activities has led to discontinuation of industrial wood adhesives manufacturing projects, thereby reducing the demand for industrial wood adhesives. Similar trend was witnessed in other South America countries, i.e., Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Ecuador and Bolivia. However, the countries are likely to overcome thus drop in demand with the economic activities regaining their pace, especially in the beginning of the 2021. 

With the new advancements and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the South America industrial wood adhesives market. Wood adhesives offer various advantages, and hence it is used in more than 70% of wood products across the world. Wood adhesives have a significant role in modern industrial wood construction. The wood adhesive is used for various wood assembly applications such as dowel attachment, edge gluing, finger joining, tongue and groove joints, and miter gluing. Adhesives help to save wood and can be utilized to build light and strong structures. It helps to moderate the expansion and contraction due to the inherent moisture retention of wood. Manufacturers are striving to produce wood adhesives that have greater resistance to moisture content. Compared to conventional methods, wood adhesives offer other benefits, including improved adhesion, compatibility of the use with several substrates and higher strength, faster drying and setting time, aesthetic appeal compared to use of metal fasteners, and other methods of bonding. Wood adhesives are frequently used on commercial doors and windows for waterproofing and to enhance the overall texture and appeal. Furthermore, the wood industry is evolving continuously, and thus, modern industrial wood adhesives have been tailored to meet the wood industry's needs. Thus, owing to the aforementioned advantages, wood adhesives are highly used for industrial applications, and thereby the market is witnessing tremendous growth in South America.
