The anticipated growth in the packaging industry is expected to drive the expansion of the paper masking tapes market in the future. The packaging industry encompasses the development and use of materials and containers designed to protect, preserve, and facilitate the transportation of goods. Factors contributing to the growth of the packaging industry include rising consumer demand, technological innovations, and an increase in e-commerce activities. Within this sector, paper masking tapes are employed for sealing, bundling, and labeling packages, providing a sustainable and eco-friendly solution due to their recyclable materials and easy removability. For example, in November 2023, the International Trade Administration, a U.S.-based government agency, reported that the packaging industry experienced a 25% increase, growing from USD 710 million in 2021 to USD 906 million in 2022. Consequently, the expansion of the packaging industry is propelling the paper masking tapes market.

Leading companies in the paper masking tape sector are innovating by developing plasma spray masking tapes that can endure extreme temperatures and harsh conditions, thereby ensuring enhanced surface protection during plasma spraying processes. Plasma spray masking tape is specifically designed to withstand high temperatures while protecting surfaces during plasma spray applications. For instance, in February 2024, Rogers Corporation, a U.S.-based engineered materials firm, introduced DeWAL Plasma X spray masking tape, which is tailored for high-temperature applications, especially in plasma spray processes. This tape features a paper backing coated with a robust silicone adhesive, making it suitable for environments that require grit blasting and thermal spraying. Its design allows for clean removal without leaving any residue, thereby enhancing usability in demanding situations where precision and cleanliness are crucial.

In June 2022, Clearlake Capital, a U.S.-based private equity firm, acquired Intertape Polymer Group Inc. for an undisclosed amount.
