Market Overview

The structural adhesive tapes market is estimated revenue of USD 11,153.2 million by 2024, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecasted period, to reach USD 15,413.5 million by 2030. This is attributed to some factors such as; the high demand for better and lasting tapes that is evident in the construction and automotive industries, increasing urbanization, elevated growth rates in the federal industries, and sufficient raw material reserves.

This sector of the structural adhesive industry is now experiencing a shift where managers are opting for adhesives rather than other old-style fasteners. The industry finds applicability in several end-use sectors like; Healthcare, Renewable Energy, Electrical & Electronics, Building & Construction, E- mobility & Others.

The trend in liberal use of micro-electronic and flatter devices in different formations is sustaining the expansion of adhesive tapes within the electrical & electronics business. Example: H. B. Fuller & Co., in October 2017, bought Royal Adhesives & Sealants LLC for $1. 6 billion.

This acquisition was strategic and relied on enhancing the company’s area of core competence, as well as the super-value-added products it offers to sectors such as the electronics and medical industries, transportation, renewable energy, and construction.

The predictions particularly indicate that the structural adhesive tapes market within the sector of hygiene and healthcare is designed to have the most remarkable CAGR. The particular escalation has been attributed to the growing demographic of elderly people and the increasing instances of long-term diseases.
