Non-Woven Adhesive Tape Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Adhesive Type (Acrylic, Rubber, Silicone, Others), By Material (Polypropylene (PP), Paper, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Others), By End-User (Packaging, Consumer And Office, Healthcare, Automotive, Electrical And Electronics, Building And Construction, Others), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2022 To 2027

The non-woven adhesive tape market is evaluated at US$975.388 million for the year 2020, growing at a CAGR of 7.52% to reach a market size of US$1,620.67 million by the year 2027.

Non-woven tapes are formed by the mechanical, thermal, or chemical interlocking of natural or synthetic fibres, allowing for the use of materials such as nylon, cotton, and polyester, as well as acrylic or rubber-based additives. Stretchability, water and flame resistance, recyclability, and other features are all available with these tapes. The expanding use of these tapes across industrial verticals, particularly in the sectors of construction and healthcare, will drive demand for them throughout the forecast period.

The main cause of the nonwoven adhesive tape market growth is the growing urban population and their use of hygiene goods. The non-woven adhesives market will see profitable growth opportunities as the key players increase their investment in product innovation. The need for nonwoven adhesives will continue to rise as a result of rapid industrialization, low production costs, and waste minimization characteristics. Higher demand for non-woven adhesives as medical products and equipment, as well as improvements in the healthcare sector, will drive expansion in the non-woven adhesives market value. Increased awareness of nonwoven adhesives, combined with an ageing population and a rising birth rate, would provide the lucrative potential for this industry.

However, fluctuating raw material prices would pose a significant obstacle to the nonwoven adhesives market's growth pace. The market's intense rivalry will further limit the market's growth potential for nonwoven adhesives. The latest coronavirus outbreak has also slowed the rate of expansion.

The silicone-based nonwoven adhesive tape segment is predicted to expand at the highest CAGR in terms of value, according to adhesive type. Silicone adhesives have a wide temperature range of adhesion and may stick to even the toughest surfaces. The silicone-based non-woven tape has a lower overall adhesive strength than other non-woven tapes. Silicone-based nonwoven tapes, on the other hand, are more expensive than acrylic and rubber-based adhesive tapes.

The paper segment is predicted to expand at the fastest CAGR throughout the projection period, based on the backing material. Paper is a recyclable and environmentally beneficial material. Saturation, which is a technique in which paper gets treated with latex to enhance its chemical and physical qualities so that it can be utilized as a supporting substrate in adhesive tape, improves the properties of paper.

Due to an ageing population, rising chronic diseases, and increased personal and hygiene care globally, the medical and hygiene category is predicted to grow at the greatest CAGR in terms of volume during the forecast timeframe.

Due to the highly established healthcare sectors in China, India, and South Korea, as well as ongoing investments in the region to advance the medical technology and automotive industries throughout time, Asia-Pacific is likely to dominate the overall market. Furthermore, the automotive and transportation industries have been gradually increasing their need for nonwoven tapes. In automobiles, these tapes are used for roof linings, headliners, and leather and textile supporters.

COVID-19 Impact on Non-Woven Adhesive Tape Market

The effect on the demand for non-woven adhesive tapes differed depending on the end market. COVID-19 increased the expansion of existing fast-growing businesses such as medical, hygiene, and food packaging. Manufacturers are expected to establish or extend their manufacturing facilities to take advantage of the world's current cheap manufacturing costs. In the short term, a drop in demand was seen in the automobile market due to the shutdown of many production plants. However, in the coming months, a resurgence is expected.

Recent Development

ATP Adhesive Systems Group, a Swiss firm that develops and manufactures client-specific adhesive products, announced the acquisition of BDK Industrial Products Ltd. in March 2021 for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition is expected to strengthen both firms' market positions and enable them to offer a wider range of customized products to their customers, such as medical adhesive tapes and customized adhesive tapes.
