Adhesive Tapes Market: Growth Factors

Massive product penetration in various sectors to boost the global market trends

The thriving e-commerce sector in emerging economies has translated into humongous demand for packaged goods. Moreover, the need for providing protection and safety to the packaged goods along with prevention of the wear & tear of the packaged goods has led to the massive use of adhesive tapes. An increase in penetration of adhesive tapes in automotive, electronics & electrical, and healthcare sectors will boost the global market trends. Apart from this, the use of the product in masking, paper & printing, packaging, office work, construction, retail, and packaging will chart a profitable roadmap for the global adhesive tapes market across the globe.

Furthermore, the rise in the use of adhesive tapes in HVAC, insulation, glazing, and abatement in APAC, the Middle East, and South America will proliferate the size of the adhesive tapes market across the globe. Humungous use of the product in hydrophilic films, in vitro diagnostics, oral dissolvable films, and transdermal drug delivery patches will expand the scope of the growth of the market globally.

Adhesive Tapes Market: Hindrances

Stringent legislation pertaining to carbon emissions to halt the global industry surge

Implementation of strict laws on volatile organic compound emissions can deter the growth of the global adhesive tapes industry across the globe. Fluctuating raw material costs can create hurdles in the growth path of the industry across the globe.

Adhesive Tapes Market: Opportunities

Availability of substitutes for traditional fastening tools to open new growth avenues for the global market

Replacement of conventional fastening systems with adhesive tapes owing to the need for reducing chances of joining dissimilar surfaces can open new growth opportunities for the adhesive tapes market globally.

Adhesive Tapes Market: Challenges

Enforcement of regulations regulating chemical usage in Europe and North America poses a huge challenge to the global industry growth 

Strict laws pertaining to the use of chemicals implemented by the EU and regulatory authorities in North America will prove to be the major challenge in the path of growth of the adhesive tapes industry globally. Furthermore, laws implemented by EPA, COSHIH, and REACH make it mandatory for chemical & material producers to make use of water-based technologies. This has proved to be a major challenge for adhesive tape manufacturers as the solvent-based technologies used for manufacturing adhesive tapes provide durability to them and can withstand extreme climatic conditions.

Adhesive Tapes Market: Segmentation

The global adhesive tapes market is sectored into the resin type, backing material, technology, category, end-use industry, and region.  

In terms of resin type, the global adhesive tapes market is divided into rubber, acrylic, and silicone segments. Furthermore, the acrylic segment, which contributed a major share of the global market in 2022, is projected to lead the global market share over the assessment timespan. The segmental surge during the assessment timeline can be owing to the massive demand for acrylic due to its low costs and beneficial physical & chemical properties. Apart from this, they find massive applications in the healthcare, packaging, and transport industries.

The backing material segment of the adhesive tapes market is sub-segmented into paper, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride segments.

Based on the technology, the global adhesive tapes industry is bifurcated into solvent-based, water-based, and hot-melt-based segments. Furthermore, the hot-melt-based packaging segment, which contributed more than 30% of the global industry share in 2022, is slated to register the fastest CAGR during the projected timeframe. Additionally, the growth of the segment over 2023-2030 can be due to its high solid adhesives-based thermoplastic polymer contents. Apart from this, fast setting speed, reduced costs, and less environmental impact have enhanced the demand for the hot-melt-based segment.  

On basis of category, the adhesive tapes industry across the globe is divided into specialty adhesive tapes and commodity adhesive tapes segments.

On basis of the end-use industry, the global adhesive tapes market is divided into packaging, masking, consumer & office, paper & printing, healthcare, electronics & electrical, automotive, white goods, retail, and building & reconstruction segments. The packaging segment, which accounted for more than 50% of the global industry share in 2022, is predicted to account majorly for the global industry size even in the next eight years. The growth of the segment during the forecasting timespan can be due to the growing demand for flexible packaging in various sectors as a result of its beneficial features.
