Adhesive Tape Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Pressure-Sensitive, Water-Activated, Heat-Sensitive, Others), By Adhesion Technology (Solvent-Based, Water-Based, Hot-Melt Based, Others), By Resin (Acrylic, Rubber, Silicone), By Base Material (Paper, Polypropylene (PP), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Others), By End-Use Industry (Automotive & Transportation, Electrical & Electronics, Paper & Packaging) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Adhesive tapes are a combination of a base material and an adhesive film, that is utilized to bond and fasten two objects together instead of using bolts or welding. The base material and the adhesives are selected based on their application requisites. These tapes eases the packaging of products as they can hold the layers of packaging products together, making transportation of products easier. Usage of adhesive tapes in place of mechanical processes enables low-temperature functioning which eases many industrial processes. Tapes also facilitate the protection of surfaces, not only from damage and fasteners or screws but also from paints and coatings by providing a temporary interface between the two layers. Adhesive tapes may be single sided or double-sided, i.e. resin is present on either of the sides, as per the requirement of the end-user.

Emergence of e-commerce, especially in developing countries, has created an enormous demand for packaging materials to keep the products safe from wear and tear during processing, packaging, and transportation phases. Packaging products need to be attached and sealed so that the product is safe inside, and thus, in turn, have created a heavy demand for adhesive tapes. Furthermore, adhesive tapes also facilitate bonding of two broken pieces which reduces the pressure on the raw materials for manufacturing various products. This factors in itself creates a strong growth pathway for the adhesive tapes market.

The pricing of both resins and base materials affects the pricing of the product and in the recent past, the pricing of materials such as paper, rubber and silicone has grown considerably. Such pricing fluctuations in the raw materials used in manufacturing adhesive tapes have seriously dented the growth of the market.
