Pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are thin, flexible materials with a coating of adhesive on one or both sides. The activation of the adhesive does not require the use of solvents, water, or heat. The pressure applied directly influences the bonding process.
The main types of pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes include single-coated tapes or single-sided tapes, double-coated tapes, transfer tapes or unsupported tapes, and self-wound tape. Single-coated tapes involve the application of adhesive on one side of a substrate. The types of resins used include acrylic, rubber, silicone, and others. These tapes find applications in various industries such as packaging, electrical and electronics, medical and hygiene, construction, transportation, consumer and office, 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.
Tariffs are impacting the pressure sensitive adhesive tapes market by increasing costs of imported resins, backing materials, specialty chemicals, and coating machinery. Packaging, electronics, and construction sectors in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported inputs, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-oriented tape production. These tariffs are increasing manufacturing costs and affecting pricing strategies. However, they are also driving local resin production, regional tape manufacturing, and innovation in bio-based adhesive materials.
The pressure sensitive adhesive tapes market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides pressure sensitive adhesive tapes market statistics, including pressure sensitive adhesive tapes industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a pressure sensitive adhesive tapes market share, detailed pressure sensitive adhesive tapes market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the pressure sensitive adhesive tapes industry. This pressure sensitive adhesive 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 pressure sensitive adhesive tapes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $73.39 billion in 2025 to $77.89 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of packaging industry demand, growth of consumer electronics manufacturing, increasing use in construction activities, rising adoption in healthcare applications, availability of pressure-sensitive resin technologies.
The pressure sensitive adhesive tapes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $99.08 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on recyclable and solvent-free adhesives, rising demand from electric vehicle manufacturing, expansion of smart electronics production, growing medical device usage, increasing investments in advanced adhesive formulations. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for sustainable adhesive solutions, rising use in lightweight automotive applications, growing adoption in electronics assembly, expansion of medical-grade adhesive tapes, enhanced focus on high-performance bonding.
The rising construction sector is significantly contributing to the growth of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes market going forward. The construction sector refers to the business and manufacturing activities involved in building, preserving, and maintaining infrastructure. Pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are used in construction to reinforce foundation membranes, seal argon gas between windowpanes, and support and secure ducting. These tapes can withstand moisture and extreme temperatures, making them suitable for rooftops and other protective applications. For instance, in June 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, construction spending during the first four months of the year totaled $660.2 billion, representing a 1.4% increase compared to $651.3 billion during the same period in 2024. Therefore, the growth of the construction sector is driving the pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes market.
Major companies in the pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes market are focused on launching new products to strengthen their market position. For instance, in November 2023, EPS (Engineered Polymer Solutions), a U.S.-based supplier of high-performance, compliant acrylic emulsion technologies, launched EPS 2133, an all-acrylic polymer made without APEO surfactants. EPS 2133 can be formulated for permanent and removable pressure-sensitive adhesive applications, delivering the adhesion and high shear holding strength required for diverse formulations.
In November 2024, Atlas Tapes SA, a Greece-based provider of packaging, masking, duct, and specialty adhesive tapes, acquired PPM Industries Group for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables Atlas Tapes SA to expand its global footprint in the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape market, integrate complementary product portfolios, and strengthen manufacturing and distribution capabilities worldwide. PPM Industries Group is an Italy-based provider of industrial, packaging, masking, and specialty adhesive tapes serving multiple sectors, including automotive, construction, and packaging.
