Adhesives and sealants can be classified according to four major markets — construction, automotive, industrial and consumer. Nearly all manufacturers produce a wide range of products, which are consumed in the major end-use markets. 

Major users of adhesives are the packaging, automotive, construction and furniture industries. Sealants are used primarily by the construction, electronics and automotive industries. A large and growing element of the consumer market is aimed at the "do-it-your-self" engaged in building maintenance and renovation.

The packaging industry is expected to consume greater quantities of adhesives in containers and flexible packaging. While this industry uses many types of adhesives, hot-melt products are expected to grow most quickly, because they are particularly suitable to modern, high-speed processes. Structural sealants can be used to hold curtain wall panels and insulating glass units in place, sometimes without accompanying support from mechanical fasteners.

The automotive market offers products are used for interior applications (such as bonding decorative trim and carpeting, and sealing doors and windows) and for exterior applications (including vinyl roofs and side mouldings). Increased use of polymer composites will lead to increased adhesive consumption. Even in conventional metal construction, adhesive usage is expected to increase to overcome the problems of corrosion and vibration noise associated with mechanical fasteners and spot welding. The aerospace industry is also using increasing amounts of adhesives and sealants for essentially the same reasons as the automotive industry.
