The adhesive tapes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $75.8 billion in 2024 to $81.54 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial growth, packaging industry boom, automotive manufacturing, electronics and electrical industry, increased medical and healthcare applications.

The adhesive tapes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $113.39 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to repair and maintenance needs, increasing use in automotive manufacturing, infrastructure rehabilitation, rapid urbanization, electrification in vehicles. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in tape technology, flexible packaging, customization and personalization, automotive lightweighting, green and sustainable solutions.

The growth of the automotive industry and the significant increase in demand for adhesive tapes from the global automotive sector are anticipated to drive the adhesive tapes market during the forecast period. Adhesive tapes are lightweight, compact, and smooth, making them ideal for various applications in car interiors, including the bonding of electronic products, parking sensor retainers, door cladding, spoilers, and seals. For example, in January 2024, MarkLines Co. Ltd., a US-based provider of online information services for the automotive industry, reported that in 2023, full-year sales for trucks and SUVs rose by 13.4% compared to the previous year, reaching 12,380,961 units, while passenger car sales experienced an 8.1% increase, totaling 3,227,425 units. As the preference for lightweight materials grows, metal fasteners are increasingly being replaced by adhesive tapes in vehicles, leading to higher automobile production and, consequently, a surge in demand for adhesive tapes.

The expanding packaging industry is expected to further boost the adhesive tape market in the coming years. The packaging industry involves the design, production, and distribution of materials used to contain, protect, and present goods for storage, transportation, sale, and use. Adhesive tapes are commonly used in this sector for sealing, securing, and bundling packages due to their strong adhesion and versatility. For instance, in April 2024, the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), a non-profit organization based in Australia, reported that in 2021-22, Australia’s total packaging placed on the market amounted to approximately 6.98 million tonnes, which included paper and paperboard (52.3%), plastic (18.3%), glass (16.4%), wood (8.8%), and metal (4.3%). Therefore, the growth of the packaging industry is a significant driver of the adhesive tape market.

Major companies in the adhesive tapes market are concentrating on launching innovative products such as recycled tapes to address the increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly solutions. Recycled tapes are adhesive tapes produced from recycled materials, often derived from post-consumer or post-industrial waste, thereby reducing environmental impact by lowering resource consumption and waste. For example, in August 2024, Shurtape Technologies LLC, a US-based manufacturing firm, introduced the Shurtape Recycled Series Packaging Tapes. This series, made from PCR polyester, includes three packaging tapes composed of 90 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) polyester sourced from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles and rigid containers. This innovative approach not only minimizes plastic waste but also assists companies in achieving their sustainability objectives while upholding high-performance standards.

Prominent companies within the adhesive tapes market are strategically focusing on the development of advanced adhesive solutions, with a particular emphasis on products such as reinforcing tape, aimed at delivering reliable services to their customers. A reinforcing tape is characterized by a fabric with one side coated in a sticky, waterproof adhesive that ensures immediate adherence to the substrate upon application. An exemplary case is seen with tesa tape Asia Pacific Pte Ltd., a Germany-based manufacturer known for its innovative adhesive tapes and self-adhesive product solutions. In November 2023, the company introduced the Tesa 51345, a paper-based reinforcing tape designed to reinforce packaging or cartons in critical areas such as side holes, flaps, or carrying handles. Notably, this tape can be seamlessly applied during the corrugated cardboard manufacturing process or in the subsequent processing of cartons and packaging using standard applicator systems. This strategic focus on advanced adhesive tape solutions underscores the commitment of major companies to providing enhanced and reliable offerings to meet the evolving needs of their customer base.

In May 2023, ADDEV Materials, a manufacturing company based in France, acquired Parafix Tapes and Conversions Ltd for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance ADDEV's product offerings and reinforce its position in the adhesive solutions market by integrating Parafix's expertise in customized adhesive tapes and die-cut solutions, enabling both companies to better serve industries such as aerospace and healthcare. Parafix Tapes and Conversions Ltd is a UK-based company specializing in converting adhesive tapes and producing customized adhesive solutions.
