These materials are expected to offer noteworthy properties such as low noise unwinding, high initial tack coupled with a high tear, and shock resistance, which in turn is expected to positively, influence its growth opportunities over the forecast period.

Adhesive Insights: Sealing & Strapping Packaging Tapes Market

Based on adhesive, the market for sealing and strapping packaging tapes is segmented into acrylic, rubber-based, and silicone adhesives. Rubber-based adhesive segment held the largest volume share of more than 45% in 2019. These adhesives offer clean removal and balanced adhesion on the applied surfaces. The segment is anticipated to witness steady demand due to high adhesive strength offered by the adhesive solution. In addition, it also offers stain resistance to various surfaces. The high shear strength offered by rubber-based adhesive also enables effective reinforcement of heavy corrugated boxed thereby increasing its utility in the packaging industry.

Acrylic adhesives are also one of the most popular categories and are expected to register a CAGR of 3.8% over the forecast period. This type of adhesives offers several advantages such as excellent waterproofing and adhesion, which are expected to drive its demand over the forecast period. It also finds application across a broader range of industries, which in turn is also expected to contribute to the segment growth. The acrylic-based adhesive tapes are broadly used in automotive and medical applications owing to the exceptional adhesion properties offered by the product.

Application Insights: Sealing & Strapping Packaging Tapes Market

Strapping and bundling application lead the overall with a market share of around 60% market in terms of revenue and is expected to witness a CAGR of 4.6% over the forecast period. The strapping tapes are broadly used for bundling or palletizing loose or packaged goods for transportation.
Strong tapes with sturdy backing allow minimal elongation when exposed to mechanical or environmental stress, thereby preventing consignments from slipping, moving, and shifting. This in turn reduces the transport damage of freight carriers and enhances the safety for personnel handling the transportation unit.

Carton sealing and inner packaging applications are expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period with a CAGR of 4.9% from 2021 to 2027. The sealing tapes offer high utility in securing shipments as well as reinforcing carton closures, which in turn is expected to increase its market growth in the next eight years.
In addition, sealing tapes offer high utility in a wide variety of usages such as sealing smaller boxes, bags, and cans. In addition, they are used for packaging single items, food, and small industrial parts easily, securely and hygienically. Thus, the emerging ‘home delivery service’ trend is expected to push the demand for these tapes in carton sealing and inner packaging applications.

Regional Insights: Sealing & Strapping Packaging Tapes Market

Asia Pacific held the largest volume share of more than 45% in 2019 and is expected to witness a rapid CAGR of 7.0% over the forecast period. This growth is supplemented by rising penetration of e-commerce retail in emerging economies such as India and Indonesia. However, the contingency regarding the manufacturing trends in the region post-pandemic is expected to negatively affect the overall market growth.

Lockdown and social distancing strategies employed by the several economies in Asia Pacific to curb the COVID-19 spread has boosted the direct channel sales in the region. Thus, the rising preference for door delivery services is expected to benefit the demand for sealing and strapping packaging components in the current scenario.
Asia Pacific is also the hub for textile manufacturing, thus the largest textile exporter in the world. The growth of the outdoor and sports apparel industry backed by the rising health awareness among consumers and heightening fitness activities is expected to bolster the textile sector in the region, thereby boosting the demand for taping solutions for textile shipments.

North America and Europe are the two regions most affected by COVID-19 pandemic, thereby putting several economic activities at a halt. However, the rising demand for healthcare supplies and personnel protective equipment in these regions to curb the spread is expected to benefit the demand for packaging tape to secure these healthcare shipments.
