The global tile & stone adhesives market size is projected to grow from USD 4.7 billion in 2022 to USD 7.0 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 8.0%. Tile and stone adhesives are used to create a strong and durable bond between tile/stone and the tiling substrate. These adhesives are used to fix ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, mosaics, marble, and granite to walls and floors in residential, commercial, and institutional applications. Market growth is attributed to the rising demand for tile & stone adhesives in the growing construction industry in residential, commercial, and institutional end uses across the world. The growth of the market is also triggered by the rising demand for ceramic tiles for decorative applications, the thin tile concept innovation, and advancements in technology related to low VOC emitting products.
Based on chemistry, the tile & stone adhesives market is segmented into cementitious, epoxy, and others. Epoxy accounted for the largest share and is a major type of tile & stone adhesives. Epoxy adhesives are arguably among the most versatile resins used across industries. They exhibit superior tensile and shear strength, but poor peel strength unless modified with a more resilient polymer. They offer excellent resistance to oil, moisture, and a number of solvents. Low shrinkage on curing and high resistance to creep under prolonged stress are the major characteristics of several high-quality epoxy adhesives.
Based on construction type, the tile & stone adhesives market is segmented into new construction and repairs & renovation. The construction industry is growing at a faster rate as a result of increased spending in residential and institutional applications, for this purpose, globally. These adhesives have a huge market for tile-on-tile application in India, Singapore, and China. Also, the high spending planned by respective governments of developing economies such as Qatar, Oman, Vietnam, Poland, Ukraine, Argentina, and Brazil, is expected to drive the growth of tile adhesives in new construction applications.
