About the report
The Afera European Pressure-Sensitive Tape Market Report 2025 has been developed by extracting and refining the European content from AWA’s Global Pressure-Sensitive Tape Market Report 2025.

- Regional market shares to put the European market in perspective
- Descriptive analyses on market structure and end-use segmentation
- Selected insights from Market Challenges and Influences (with a focus on Europe)
- An Executive Summary presenting key findings and relevant global comparisons
Two A4-sized PDF versions are available to Members:

Both versions are password-protected. At this stage, they have been distributed directly to Afera’s primary contact person for each Member Company, who is responsible for internal sharing within their organisation.
