Rising Demand for Green Buildings and Sustainable Construction
India’s construction sector is witnessing a surge in demand for polyurethane (PU) adhesives and sealants, driven by a growing focus on sustainability and government-backed initiatives like the Smart Cities Mission. The shift toward eco-friendly, low-VOC adhesives is fueled by the rapid expansion of green buildings, supported by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). India’s green building market is projected to grow rapidly over the near-term, significantly boosting demand for sustainable adhesives. As of 2022, Indian Green Building Council (IGBC)-certified buildings have conserved over 45 billion kWh of energy, saved 14 billion liters of water, and reduced 40 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions. The country now has 14,510 green building projects, covering a footprint of 12.3 billion sq. ft., with 5,820 fully operational projects. Additionally, the Smart Cities initiative, with a planned investment of INR 2.05 lakh crore (USD 25 billion) by 2025, is accelerating PU adhesive adoption in infrastructure projects. Reflecting the industry’s sustainability shift, low-VOC adhesives are expected to comprise over 40% of the Indian adhesives market by 2025. The superior durability, flexibility, and weather resistance of PU adhesives further solidify their growing role in India’s evolving construction landscape.
Rapidly Expanding Automotive Industry and Increasing EV Adoption
India’s automotive and electric vehicle (EV) sectors are experiencing rapid expansion, fueling the demand for advanced bonding solutions like polyurethane (PU) adhesives. These adhesives play a crucial role in vehicle lightweighting, enhancing structural integrity and improving crash resistance. The Indian EV market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 57.23% between 2025 and 2033, significantly boosting PU adhesive demand. In 2023, total EV sales stood at approximately 1.6 million units, surging to over 2 million units in 2024, a 24% increase, reflecting rising consumer adoption. This growth has propelled EV penetration in India’s overall vehicle market to 8%, up from 6.8% the previous year. The Indian government actively supports EV adoption through initiatives like the Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme (EMPS) and the FAME scheme, aiming for 30% EV penetration by 2030. Additionally, India’s automotive adhesives market is projected to reach USD 1.2 billion by 2025, with PU adhesives dominating the segment. Meanwhile, the rapidly expanding lightweight vehicle market is further accelerating PU adhesive adoption as manufacturers prioritize fuel efficiency and performance-driven designs.
