Segmentation of the global gummed tapes market
Future Market Insights has divided the study of the global gummed tapes market into 6 key market segments: backing material type, product type, adhesive type, end-use industry, application, and region.
Fibre-reinforced gummed tape most preferred backing material type
While studying the different material types used to manufacture gummed tapes, Future Market Insights has identified 2 main types: paper-gummed tape and fibre-reinforced gummed tape. A higher-per-unit cost puts the fibre-reinforced gummed tape segment at the very top of the global market in terms of revenue share – in excess of 90% to be witnessed throughout the period of forecast 2017–2027. Increasing use of fibre-reinforced gummed tapes to seal heavy duty boxes is the primary factor boosting revenue growth of this backing material type. On the other hand, paper-based gummed tapes have a very low revenue share: less than 6% estimated by the end of 2027.
Brown gummed tape product type to lead in terms of demand and revenue
White gummed tape and brown gummed tape are the two main types of gummed tapes used in the global market. Future Market Insights anticipates brown gummed tapes to lead the global market both in terms of value as well as volume. Brown gummed tapes find increasing preference among end-use industries over white gummed tapes. With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% in terms of value and 5.1% in terms of volume, brown gummed tapes will record the fastest growth during the study period.
Starch-based adhesive type to remain dominant
Two main types of adhesives used in gummed tapes are starch-based adhesives and water-based acrylic adhesives. Demand for starch-based adhesives is projected to remain at an all-time high, with a revenue share just under 97% estimated by the end of 2027.
Shipping & logistics end-use industry to grow at the fastest pace
The various end-use industries that use gummed tapes include shipping and logistics, food and beverages, oil and gas, metalworking, electrical and electronics, general industrial, automotive, building and construction, healthcare and hygiene, and consumer goods. According to Future Market Insights analysis, increasing demand for gummed tapes is anticipated to come in from the shipping and logistics industry. With a CAGR of 6.6%, the shipping and logistics end-use industry is the largest in terms of revenue in the global gummed tapes market, with a revenue share of 21.6% estimated by 2027. The general industrial and consumer goods industries are also picking up fast in terms of adoption of gummed tapes, and significant traction can be anticipated in these sectors in the coming years.
Adoption of gummed tapes in box & carton sealing to witness notable increase
APEJ most attractive regional market for sales of gummed tapes
Seven top geographies have been tracked in this study. These key regions include North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, APEJ, Japan, and the Middle East and Africa. The gummed tapes market is predicted to register exponential growth in the APEJ region, with China and India constituting a large share of the APEJ regional market. North America is projected to take the second position in the global market in terms of revenue – with a market value share of just under 25% estimated by 2027. Gummed tapes manufacturers would be advised to target the lucrative local markets in APEJ, as the region is anticipated to witness the fastest growth in demand and sales of gummed tapes in the coming decade.
