To reduce the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and empower the healthcare industry, the European Union has set budgets for various European countries, such as US$ 550 per capita in the UK, and approx. US$ 366 per capita in Germany and Ireland. It also applies to other European countries. Health-related initiatives include purchasing professional medical and personal protective equipment (PPE), expanding research capabilities, hiring additional staff and benefits, supporting hospitals and local governments, and donating vaccine production. With the economy on the mend, several industrial sectors and economies are making strategic investments in the healthcare sector. This is expected to accelerate the market growth in the coming years.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The Europe adhesive tapes market is expected to grow from US$ 12,781.91 million in 2021 to US$ 17,655.34 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2021 to 2028. The demand for electric vehicles is escalating across the region. The manufacturers of electric vehicles are focusing on increasing the battery capacities of their vehicles because of the inaccessibility of charging stations for these vehicles in remote areas. Adhesive tapes are increasingly used in electric vehicle components such as batteries, capacitors, and parking sensors. The use of adhesive tapes in electric vehicles is growing owing to several requirements, such as replacing conventional substrates with synthetic substrates, increasing focus on environmental affairs, and bonding of dissimilar and similar materials. Adhesive tapes also address these concerns in prospect to engineering since they are considered to resist vibration and allow the distribution of stress over an extensive area. Hence, the rising adoption of electric vehicles is expected to emerge as a beneficial trend for the growth of the Europe adhesive tapes market in the coming years.
