World demand for pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes is projected to rise
5.6 percent per year through 2016 to 43.5 billion square meters. In value
terms, sales of PSA tapes will increase 5.7 percent annually to $37 billion in
2016. This represents a significant improvement from the 2006-2011 period,
which was negatively affected by the recent global economic slowdown. In
particular, advances will be driven by an acceleration in manufacturing
activity. Among the various tape backing materials, the best gains are
expected for polypropylene products and value added specialty tapes including
foam and fiberglass types.
Carton sealing tapes claim two-thirds of global market
In 2011, carton sealing tapes accounted for 67 percent of the global pressure
sensitive tape market (in volume terms). Demand will be bolstered by an
upswing in the processed food and beverage manufacturing sector, which is the
largest single user of corrugated box packaging. Carton sealing tape sales
will continue to outpace box demand as tapes capture additional market share
from alternative box sealing solutions such as glue.
Demand for masking tapes will see a significant acceleration, boosted by
strong improvements in building construction expenditures, including
architectural paint projects. An acceleration in motor vehicle production,
another important masking tape market, will further contribute to demand gains.
Good opportunities will also be found in the electrical and electronic,
doublesided, medical, and other tape segments, though growth in these
applications will stem from relatively smaller bases. Advances, especially for
electronic types, will be fueled by fast growing end use markets. Double-sided
bonding tapes will further supplant alternative joining and sealing techniques
in a range of industrial applications, while PSA medical and surgical tapes
are expected to continue to replace traditional bandages.
Asia/Pacific region to be fastest growing market
The Asia/Pacific region will see the most rapid gains and remain the largest
regional market in the world, due to its large manufacturing industries.
Central and South America, Eastern Europe, and the Africa/Mideast region will
also experience healthy growth, though advances in these areas will stem from
much lower base levels (collectively, these three regions only accounted for
15 percent of global pressure sensitive tape demand in 2011). Overall, the
fastest growth will be seen in Asia, specifically in India, China, and
Indonesia. In particular, China alone will account for close to one-half of
global pressure sensitive tape market volume gains between 2011 and 2016.
In contrast, advances will be below average in North America and Western
Europe, where markets are more established. The US, which accounted for 18
percent of global sales volume in 2011, will remain the second largest
national pressure sensitive tape market in the world, after China. Other
large, but generally mature markets include Japan and Germany. While Japan
will continue to be one of the largest national markets in the world, the
country is forecast to see the slowest growth rate through 2016. Nonetheless,
good opportunities remain in developed countries, especially for technical
tapes, due to the development of new specialty applications such as
electrically conductive adhesive tapes for telecommunications equipment.
