Filament tapes are robust, pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes reinforced with fiberglass or polyester filaments that run along the length or across the tape, enhancing their strength and durability. These tapes are commonly used in applications that require high tensile strength, such as bundling, packaging, and reinforcing.
The primary types of filament tapes include single-sided and double-sided tapes. Single-sided tapes have adhesive on one side and are utilized for bonding or securing surfaces. These tapes feature various types of adhesives, including rubber-based, hot-melt, acrylic-based, and others, and are made from materials such as paper, foam, fabric, polyester, mesh fiberglass, and more. They are used in a wide range of applications, including bundling, strapping, insulation, and carton sealing, and cater to numerous industries, such as shipping and logistics, construction, food and beverages, electrical and electronics, automotive, healthcare and hygiene, printing, metalworking, oil and gas, among others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a profound impact on the retail and wholesale sector, particularly in areas such as sourcing, inventory management, and pricing strategies. Increased duties on imported consumer goods including electronics, apparel, furniture, and packaged foods have driven up procurement costs, forcing many retailers and wholesalers to either raise prices for consumers or absorb the financial hit. Small and mid-sized businesses, which often lack pricing leverage, are especially at risk, facing tighter margins and reduced competitiveness. Supply chain disruptions and international shipping uncertainties have further strained inventory cycles. At the same time, retaliatory tariffs from overseas markets have diminished export opportunities for U.S. brands, curbing potential revenue growth. In response, many companies are pivoting to domestic and regional suppliers, bolstering supply chain resilience, and leveraging data-driven demand forecasting to manage cost fluctuations and sustain customer satisfaction.
The filament tapes market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides filament tapes market statistics, including filament tapes industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a filament tapes market share, detailed filament tapes market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the filament tapes industry. This filament tapes market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The filament tapes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.95 billion in 2024 to $5.27 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the growth of the packaging industry, post-war industrialization, the shift to plastic packaging, the rise of e-commerce, and increased use in securing heavy goods.
The filament tapes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.91 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing preference for lightweight packaging materials, rise in packaged goods, growing focus on environmentally-friendly packaging solutions, growing use in healthcare, and increasing industrial activities. Major trends in the forecast period include enhanced adhesive technologies, integration of smart technologies, innovations in manufacturing processes, automation in application, and enhanced online marketing strategies.
The forecast of 7.0% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Duties on polypropylene and polyester raw materials could lead to pricing pressures and margin compression for filament tape manufacturers serving logistics and packaging sectors. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rising demand for high-performance packaging is anticipated to drive growth in the filament tapes market in the near future. High-performance packaging encompasses solutions that offer exceptional product protection, durability, and functionality. This demand is fueled by increasing consumer expectations regarding product safety and sustainability, as well as stricter regulatory requirements across various industries. Filament tapes are particularly effective for high-performance packaging due to their strong adhesive qualities and reinforced fibers, which provide impressive tensile strength and durability. For instance, in June 2024, Dezan Shira & Associates, a multi-disciplinary professional services firm based in China, projected that plastic packaging in Vietnam would grow from 10.07 million tons in 2023 to 15.09 million tons by 2028. As a result, the heightened demand for high-performance packaging is propelling the filament tape market forward.
Key players in the filament tapes market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions such as biobased and solvent-free adhesives to minimize their environmental footprint and address the increasing consumer demand for sustainable products. These environmentally friendly adhesives are derived from renewable resources and do not contain harmful chemicals, providing sustainable bonding options with a reduced ecological impact. For example, in June 2023, Lohmann GmbH & Co. KG, a Germany-based manufacturer of adhesive tape systems, introduced the DuploCOLL ECO adhesive tape portfolio, which features biobased and solvent-free adhesives aimed at promoting sustainability in adhesive applications. This new product line includes various tape types, such as transfer and double-sided scrim tapes, all made using Lohmann's 100% solvent-free TwinMelt technology, which lowers energy consumption and CO2 emissions. With 50% biobased materials and recyclable liner systems, the ECO portfolio aligns with circular economy principles while ensuring reliable adhesion to various substrates, including recycled materials.
In March 2023, Rotunda Capital Partners, a private equity firm based in the United States, acquired Bron Tapes, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to accelerate growth by leveraging Bron's strong customer service and technical expertise, while also exploring further acquisitions and promoting expansion in line with Rotunda's strategy of enhancing family-founded distribution businesses. Bron Tapes, Inc. is a U.S.-based manufacturer of pressure-sensitive tapes, including filament tapes.
