Market Overview

The Canadian structural adhesives market is devoted to the business, which includes the production, distribution, and application of adhesive compounds used to bond, seal, or join materials. They are utilised across various industrial domains. For instance, Epoxy, acrylic, polyurethane, cyanoacrylate, and hot-melt adhesives are among the natural and synthetic adhesives available in this market that are designed for commercial, consumer, and industrial uses. In many engineering applications, structural adhesives are used in place of conventional mechanical fasteners and welding. Uniform stress distribution, decreased assembly weight, and improved fatigue resistance are some benefits of these materials. Structural adhesives can stick to different substrates, have the highest load-bearing capacity, and are exceptionally resistant to chemicals and the environment when compared to other adhesives. Additionally, structural adhesives can join dissimilar substrates without corroding, withstand extremely high temperatures, and, most importantly, maintain the substrates' aesthetic appeal by eliminating holes and heat distortion brought on by metal welding.

In October 2025, the Canadian government announced a $2 billion investment through the Canada Growth Fund, with a primary focus on infrastructure and construction projects. The demand for high-performance adhesives, particularly structural adhesives, is anticipated to rise as a result of this funding since they are essential for contemporary, environmentally friendly construction methods and infrastructure improvements.

They are used in the construction, automotive, marine, and wind energy industries to bond a variety of substrates, such as metals, thermoplastics, and composites.

Restraining Factors

Major obstacles that could prevent the Canadian structural adhesives market from growing quickly include high upfront costs, difficulties with regulatory compliance, supply chain risks, and the requirement for sustainable, high-performance formulations.

Market Segmentation

The Canada structural adhesive market share is classified into resin and technology.

• The epoxy segment held a substantial market share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR over the forecast period.

The Canada structural adhesive market is segmented by resin into toughened acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane, cyanoacrylate, and others. Among these, the epoxy segment held a substantial market share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR over the forecast period. This is due to its primary utilized in industrial, automotive, and aerospace applications. They are used as an automotive structure and panel adhesive; they are the best glue for aluminium because they are vibration-resistant bonds. Epoxy's increasing use as a bonding agent with its high strength is guaranteed for applications involving permanent bonding.

• The water-based segment dominated the market in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR over the forecast period.

The Canada structural adhesive market is segmented by technology into water-based, solvent-based, and others. Among these, the water-based segment dominated the market in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR over the forecast period. Its increasing use in providing high heat resistance is what drives its high share. Water-based structural adhesives are initially liquid, but as the water evaporates, they solidify. Water-based adhesives are very resistant to heat. Their ability to work with recyclable substrates is well known. These adhesives are odourless, multipurpose, and have a low volatile organic compound (VOC) content.
