Market Insights
Wide Range of Applications of Adhesive Tapes
Adhesive tapes are material and adhesive film combinations used to bond or join objects instead of using screws, fasteners, or welding. The tape can protect the surface by not requiring fasteners or screws to protect the surface, thereby making it useful for various applications in industries, such as packaging, healthcare, automotive, electrical and electronics, and building and construction. Liquid adhesives are messy and time-consuming because they must be sprayed or rolled on the surface before bonding. Adhesive tapes have major applications in industries, such as packaging, healthcare, automotive, electrical and electronics, and building and construction.
Application Insights
Based on application, the global adhesive tapes market is segmented into packaging, healthcare, automotive, electrical and electronics, building and construction, and others. The automotive segment led the market in 2020. Adhesive tapes have multiple applications in the automotive sector. In the vehicle interior, adhesive tapes are used for seat heating elements, airbag wrapping and securing, steering wheel wrapping, rubber mounting, plastic profiles, and foam and fabric attachment on the instrument panel. In car interiors with features such as attachments for mobile devices, electronic chargers, air purifiers, connection for portable freezers, and other components, adhesive tapes are utilized for fastening and bonding purposes. Moreover, they are used to develop automotive electronics, such as light assemblies, air conditioning systems, electronic display panels, battery connectors & wires, and sensors. Moreover, adhesive tapes are rapidly replacing nut bolt fasteners to reduce vehicle weight and enhance vehicle aesthetics. Rising demand for lightweight sealing in vehicles and increasing utilization of adhesive tapes in the manufacturing of electric vehicles are projected to bolster the growth of the adhesive tapes market in the coming years.

Packaging is estimated to register the fastest CAGR in the market over the forecast period. Adhesive tapes are extensively used across the packaging industry. Adhesive tapes secure the packages as it forms a strong bond between the packaging surfaces. Cartons of food and beverages products are sealed using adhesive tapes as they ensure products’ safety in transit. Moreover, adhesive tapes are used to seal the packages of agricultural products. The packaging industry across the world is rapidly flourishing with the growing demand for convenience food products, agriculture products, and other consumer goods.
Based on tape backing material, which segment is leading the global adhesive tapes market during the forecast period?
On the basis of tape backing material, polypropylene (PP) segment is leading the adhesive tapes market during the forecast period. Polypropylene is widely used as a backing material in adhesive tapes. Backing film is one of the vital components of an adhesive tape. It holds the adhesive and the primer. Polypropylene is a thermally and chemically stable material. It provides surface protection. Moreover, polypropylene is comparatively cheaper than polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and is widely available. These properties make polypropylene one of the popular materials used for manufacturing adhesive tapes. Polypropylene tapes are suitable for a wide range of sealing applications, such as food & beverage packaging, agricultural packaging, and healthcare and medical packaging.
Based on technology, which segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period
The hot-melt adhesives segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. Hot-melt adhesives are thermoplastic polymer-based compositions that are 100% solids. They are solid at normal temperature and become liquid after being heated above their softening point. Hot-melt-based adhesive tapes consist of three layers—film layer, a special release coat that allows the tape to easily unwind off the roll, and an aggressive hot-melt adhesive layer. These tapes are used for various applications, such as furniture and wood working, packaging and corrugated carton sealing, DIY applications, and building & construction.
Based on resin type, why rubber segment accounted for the largest share in the global adhesive tapes market?
The rubber segment held the largest share in the global adhesive tapes market in 2020.
