The great demand for PSA tapes and their widespread adoption due to their ease of use and low threat of substitute products in the market. Asia Pacific is one of the key regions contributing to the growth of the pressure sensitive adhesive tapes market since recent years. The strong demand in Asia Pacific regions is a majorly due to increased demand form fast growing emerging economies such as China, Japan, and India owing to increased industrial production. The aforementioned factors are among major driving forces accelerating the market growth for pressure sensitive adhesive tapes in the forecasted period.

The packaging industry segment held a share in the adhesive tapes market in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period.

The growing trend of online shopping increases the demand for packaging and distribution of goods which has led to an increase in demand for adhesive tapes worldwide. The widespread use of adhesive tapes in various industries such as automotive, healthcare, textiles, leather industry, aerospace, defence, locomotives, and others is an important factor driving the market. Adhesive tapes are in great demand in the automotive industry owing to the need for weight reduction in vehicles to boost fuel efficiency. Manufacturers are using adhesive tapes instead of bolts and screws to reduce the car weight. For an instance, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, in 2022, the total number of automotive vehicles produced in India was valued at 5,456,857 units, representing a 24.05% increase compared to the previous year. Also, adhesive tapes are widely used in medical equipment assembly and wound care during surgery. In addition, skin-friendly adhesive tapes are widely used to make diapers for babies and adults. The growing demand for water-activated adhesive formulation adhesive tapes combined with the demand for recyclable and biodegradable packing materials has boosted the market growth.

The Asia Pacific has dominated the market in terms of revenue by 2023, owing to fast-growing end-use industries in recent years.

The Asia Pacific adhesive tapes market is the largest contributor to the adhesive tapes market. Increased growth in the various end-use industry such as healthcare, building & construction, packaging, and others. According to the Japan Packaging Institute, the shipment value of the packaging industry in Japan was approximately ¥6,079 billion (yen) or US$41 billion in 2022, reflecting a 6.9% increase. Moreover, healthcare industry has dominated in Asia pacific region owing to the great demand for medical bandages including dry clothing, and first aid kits in the region. Increasing awareness of advanced wound care is expected to further the need for new products in the region. Moreover, regional growth is largely due to the high level of economic growth followed by significant investment in various industries such as automotive, healthcare, electrical and electronics, and building & construction.

Advantages of competitive pricing in the Asia Pacific due to lower production costs and the ability to better serve emerging local markets is among the major driving factor of the Asia Pacific adhesive tapes market.

Adhesive tapes are used in end-to-end industries such as packaging, consumer & office, health care, electrical & electronics, masking, automotive, paper & printing, building & construction, retail, and more.

The trend toward the use of flat and small-electronic devices continues, increasing the use of adhesive tapes in the electrical and electronics industry. The adhesive tape demand in the healthcare and medicine industry is expected to accelerate at a very high rate during the foreseen period. This growth is due to an increase in the number of the old-age population and a growing number of patients with chronic diseases. In addition, the need for hydrophilic films, vitro diagnostics, and oral melting films are driving the demand for adhesive tapes in the global healthcare industry. According to world bank data, the total construction industry spending worldwide has increased to US4 13.4 trillion in 2022 with a growth rate of 3.8% from previous year. The construction industry is one of the major industries consuming adhesive tapes, especially in the regions such as Asia Pacific, Middle East, South America. Moreover, adhesive tapes are used for HVAC (heating ventilation, and cooling), glazing, and insulation. Thus, the demand for adhesive tapes in various industries is expected to drive market growth.

E-commerce retail has witnessed significant growth in developing countries due to the covid-19 pandemic. This has bought demand for packaging materials that need adhesive tapes to seal the products inside cartons, to avoid mechanical damage at every stage of logistics. The need for adhesive tapes has increased due to consumer preferences from e-commerce retailers including packaging quality, the safety of products, and others. According to a survey conducted by the B2B e-commerce association of United States, in the third quarter of 2023, the share of e-commerce in total U.S. retail sales increased to 15.6%, compared to 14.8% in the third quarter of 2022.The data depicts the importance of e-commerce and penetration in total retail sales across the globe. Furthermore, retailers continue to pursue consumer demand online, streaming to e-commerce with record numbers. This means that many brands compete for customers virtually on e-commerce websites. As a result, quality packaging to cater the consumer demand is as important as the quality of the product. The aforementioned recent developments in the retail sector are expected to drive the adhesive tapes market in the forecasted period.

Volatility in raw material prices is among the major restraint that backfoot the adhesive tapes market.

Raw material prices and supply of raw materials are the important factors that influence the manufacturers to determine the production cost of end products. Rubber, paper, polypropylene (PP), silicone, acrylic adhesives, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), adhesives, and release liners are the major raw materials used to make adhesive tapes. According to the World Bank's Commodity Markets Outlook, in the third quarter of 2023, the raw materials price index experienced a 1 percent decline, primarily driven by decreases in natural rubber and prices of natural rubber remained relatively stable in the third quarter of 2023, but are almost 8 percent lower than a year ago. Global natural rubber demand has remained relatively flat during the 12 months ending in September 2023. Uncertainty and fluctuations in cost and unavailability of raw materials will rise the product price leading to reluctant purchases in price-sensitive regions. The adhesive industry has been affected by the increase in production costs owing to various factors. The continued increase in global demand for chemicals and energy will constrain the delivery of these basic chemicals and resin feedstock to the adhesive industry. This shortage of supply of monomers such as C9 monomers and Piperylene used to make adhesive materials has increased the cost of the overall product.
