Adhesive tapes are composed of a material and an adhesive layer, serving the purpose of bonding two objects or materials together. These tapes typically feature a pressure-sensitive adhesive applied onto a backing material such as paper, plastic film, cloth, or metal foil. Before usage, they are equipped with removable release liners that safeguard the adhesive layer.
The primary resin types employed in the production of adhesive tapes include acrylic, rubber, silicone, among others. These tapes utilize diverse materials such as polypropylene (PP), paper, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and others. Production technologies encompass solvent-based, hot-melt based, and water-based methods. Adhesive tapes find extensive application across various sectors including packaging, consumer and office use, healthcare, automotive, electrical and electronics, building and construction, and other industries.
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.
Tariffs are affecting the adhesive tapes market by increasing costs of imported resins, backing films, specialty chemicals, and coating equipment. Packaging and electronics manufacturers in North America and Europe are most impacted due to reliance on imported raw materials, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-oriented tape production. These tariffs are elevating manufacturing costs and impacting pricing strategies. However, they are also encouraging regional raw material sourcing, local tape manufacturing, and innovation in bio-based adhesive systems.

The adhesive tapes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $80.73 billion in 2025 to $87.46 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of packaging industry, growth of consumer electronics manufacturing, increasing use in healthcare applications, rising adoption in construction projects, availability of polymer-based backing materials.
The adhesive tapes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $118.54 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for recyclable adhesive tapes, rising use in electric vehicle assembly, expansion of smart packaging solutions, growing focus on solvent-free adhesive technologies, increasing investments in specialty tape formulations. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for sustainable adhesive solutions, rising use of pressure-sensitive tapes in packaging, growing adoption in electronics assembly, expansion of high-performance automotive tapes, enhanced focus on lightweight bonding materials.
The growth of the automotive industry, coupled with rising global demand for adhesive tapes in the sector, is expected to drive the adhesive tapes market during the forecast period. Adhesive tapes are lightweight, compact, and smooth, making them ideal for automotive applications such as bonding electronic components, securing parking sensors, attaching door cladding, and fixing spoilers and seals. For example, in January 2024, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association reported that the EU car market grew by 13.9% in 2023 compared to 2022, reaching total annual sales of 10.5 million vehicles. Therefore, the increase in automobile production is expected to boost demand for adhesive tapes and drive market growth.
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.
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.
