Despite a slight decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024, the industry maintained a steady Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.16% over the period of 2020-2024. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) suggests a concentrated market, indicating the dominance of key players in the white glue import sector in the Philippines.

White glue, mainly used in schools, crafts, and light industry, enjoys steady demand. The market is largely driven by the education sector and DIY culture, with additional usage in packaging and woodworking contributing to its stability.
The white glue market, mainly catering to the school, crafts, and furniture sectors, maintains steady demand. Educational institutions, woodworking shops, and DIY consumers are primary users. Innovations in non-toxic and quick-drying formulations are supporting product differentiation in a competitive landscape.
The white glue market struggles with price competition from synthetic adhesives and imported products. Raw material price volatility affects production costs. Environmental regulations concerning VOC emissions and disposal of adhesive products impose additional compliance burdens.
White glue is extensively used in education, woodworking, and crafts. Investment in manufacturing or importing high-quality, non-toxic adhesives with eco-friendly formulations can capture a broad customer base, including schools, industries, and hobbyists.
White glue products are regulated as chemical substances under the FDA and DTI, focusing on ingredient safety, labeling, and environmental impact. Policies encourage the use of non-toxic, environmentally friendly adhesives and compliance with international chemical standards.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
