The global structural adhesive tapes market was valued at USD 10,775.0 million in 2023 and is projected to register a CAGR of 5.5% during 2024–2030, to reach USD 15,413.5 million by 2030. This is due to the rising requirements for such tapes from several industries, including electrical & electronics, automotive, energy, building & construction, energy, healthcare, and others.
Based on the resin type segment, the acrylics category dominates the market. These acrylic tapes are very demanded attributing to their beneficial properties such as physical and chemical, lower cost, and usage in various industries such as healthcare, construction, and automotive. Also, these tapes are suited to both water and solvent-based technologies, as they provide more resistance to other chemicals, solvents, and water.
The hike in the automotive structural adhesive tapes industry can be ascribed to the growing rate of production of electric vehicles globally and the surging awareness among automotive players about the benefits of structural adhesive tapes.
Moreover, the surging requirement for hydrophilic films, in-vitro diagnostics, oral dissolving films, and transdermal drug delivery patches is propelling the demand for structural adhesive tapes in the healthcare industry. This is because of the growing aging population and increasing cases of chronic diseases.
Whereas, the electrical & electronics category is expected to witness the highest growth rate in the coming years in the market. The continuous adoption of electronic devices, which are flatter and micro-electronics, is sustaining the enlargement of the adhesive tapes market within the electrical & electronics sector.
