Rise of flexible packaging formats
The global adhesive tapes market is expected to witness significant growth due to increasing utilization of adhesive tapes in flexible packaging formats. Flexible packaging has emerged as a popular packaging solution due to various advantages such as lightweight, lower material usage, cost effectiveness, durability, and ability to customize packaging as per customer needs. Flexible packaging has wide applications in food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, and several other industries. Adhesive tapes play a pivotal role in the manufacturing of flexible packaging formats. Different types of tapes such as acrylic, rubber, and silicone are used for packaging applications such as closure sealing, laminating, and bonding. Adhesive tapes help provide a strong and durable bond between packaging films and make the packaging leak proof and tamper evident. They ensure packaging formats can withstand transportation and handling stresses without damage. The demand for flexible packaging has increased manifold in recent years, driven by rising urbanization, busy lifestyles, nuclearization of families, and focus towards convenience packaging among consumers. Flexible packaging solutions are revolutionizing the retail sector by offering smaller and customized packaging taylored for individual consumption. This shift towards flexible packaging from rigid alternatives is creating significant opportunities for adhesive tapes manufacturers. Moreover, flexible packaging is highly suitable for packaging fresh and perishable products such as fruits, vegetables, snacks, confectionery, and ready-to-eat meals, which see extensive use of adhesive tapes. With continued growth in food processing and packaging industry, a steady rise is expected in the use of adhesive tapes for sealing and bonding of flexible packaging formats going forward.
