The global market for adhesive tapes is primarily being driven by rising demand from the packaging sector. In a report released by PMMI, the Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, it is predicted that the global packaging industry will grow by 42.2 billion dollars by 2021, up from 36.8 billion dollars in 2016, as a result of rising population, growing sustainability concerns, more disposable income in developing regions, and rising demand for smart packaging. In the upcoming years, this is anticipated to drive the market for sticky tapes. However, until 2021, the market may grow at a slower rate than anticipated due to the pandemic's effects. Another prediction for market growth is increased employment of adhesive tapes in electric and hybrid automobiles. Worldwide plug-in vehicle deliveries in 2019 reached 2264,400 units, up 9% from 2018, according to the International Energy Agency's Global EV Outlook 2019. Compared to the growth rates of the prior six years, which ranged between 46% and 69%, this is a substantial deviation. The production of electric and hybrid vehicles is anticipated to use adhesive tapes more frequently as a result of this encouraging expansion.
According to Coherent Market Insights, the worldwide Adhesive Tapes Market was valued at USD 49980.5 million in 2021 and is projected to rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.97% from 2022 to 2030.
