The global thermoplastic tape market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% over forecast period 2020 to 2027 and poised to reach around US$ 2,718.3 Mn by 2027.

Thermoplastic tape refers to the composite that combines properties of fibers and plastics. This is highly flexible at average temperature but gets harden when the material is heated and cooled off again. This transformation is caused by the plastic impregnation of the thermoplastic tape, which creates homogenous liquid while heating and forms polymer links while cooling down resulting in the hardened composite element. The properties of the tape include flexible placement before curing, great strength and rigidity after curing, easy to store and quick to apply, and a high degree of recyclability.

Market Dynamics

The benefits associated with the thermoplastic tape such as easily shaped and re-shaped, recyclability and sustainability, immense strength, damage & temperature-resistant, and rigidity while being flexible are some of the factors supporting the market value. The increasing usage in various industry application particularly in automotive is supporting the market growth. The increasing demand in the aerospace sector to make spacecraft reusable and long lasting is projected to create potential opportunities over the forecast period from 2020 to 2027.

On the other side, the limitation of thermoplastic tape use in high-temperature applications because it gets soften at high temperatures is expected to limit the growth to an extent over the estimated period from 2020 to 2027.

By end-use industry, industrial goods segment accounted for the major share in the market

In 2019, the industrial goods segment accounted for the major share in the global thermoplastic tape market. The companies are seeking light-weighted, cost-effective and durable packaging solutions to meet increasing consumer demand. Additionally, increasing disposable income coupled with increasing production of industrial goods is further supporting the segmental growth.

The automotive segment is projected to exhibit the fastest growth over the estimated period from 2020 to 2026

Increasing demand for lightweight vehicles is primarily supporting the demand for thermoplastic tape in the automotive sector. The rapidly increasing demand for electric vehicles due to increasing environmental concern with the combustion engine is expected to favor segmental growth over the forecast period. The segment is also gaining growth due to increasing usage in automotive interiors, and exteriors because cohesive bonding and form-locking of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic tapes enhance stiffness and durability.
