Various applications across various industries drive the global paper tapes market. For instance, the rising demand for surgical paper tapes in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors will aid the expansion of the market and its new outdoor applications.
Demand from the automotive industry has emerged as a major growth driver
The automotive industry has been steadily expanding. One of the primary drivers enabling growth in this sector is customers' increased interest in automotive modification. Paper tapes are used in a variety of ways to customize a vehicle. Masking, spray painting, varnishing, sealing and other techniques are among them. After surface painting, these tapes provide exceptional surface protection and a clean paint line. Surface protection has aided the car industry's expansion. The increased demand for masking tapes in this industry is expected to boost the market's growth.
Paper tapes' outdoor applications are growing
A major development driver has been demand from the logistics and retail sectors. Previously, plastic tapes were utilized in these industries, but as people become more aware of the dangers that plastic waste poses to the environment, paper tapes are becoming more popular. Paper tapes are also considered more environmentally friendly for outdoor applications, which has aided the market's growth in the construction and logistics industries. Paper tapes are frequently utilized during paint projects to achieve the greatest precision, especially at sharp edges.
The Covid-19 problem is unprecedented and is currently unfolding daily. The downturn in end-use industries such as logistics, building and construction and automotive has created issues across many industries and led to a reduction in demand for paper tapes. Furthermore, due to delays in raw material deliveries, the slowdown in the paper industry had a direct influence on the manufacture of paper tapes. Transportation restrictions imposed during the early stages of Covid-19 resulted in a lack of raw materials, hurting production across numerous industries and, as a result, a drop in demand for paper tapes.
By Product, the paper tape market is classified into masking tape, packaging tape and others.
The global paper tape market is likely to be dominated by masking tape.
The masking tape segment is expected to maintain its dominance in terms of product type during the projection period. Growth in this section of the market is enabled by the expansion of the building and construction sector. Masking tapes are generally used in the construction industry for painting. Masking tapes are also being used during painting, dent repairs and other vehicle manufacturing and repair activities, offering new growth potential.
