Market Introduction
The North America double sided tape market is a highly fragmented market with the presence of considerable regional and local players providing numerous solutions for companies investing in the market arena. Automotive is projected to be the leading end-use industry of acrylic foam tapes over the forecast period since these foams are used in roof molding, plate panels, rocker panel/claddings, outer belt moldings, rear spoilers, body & bumper side moldings, emblem & nameplates, side fenders/wheel flare, and side mirrors. The demand for acrylic resin-based foam back tape is on a rise across the globe owing to its superior properties over silicone-based resins. It can withstand several environmental adversities owing to its unique cohesion and humidity resistance. It is also relatively cheaper in comparison to other resin types. It is extensively used in the automotive industries, due to its excellent adhesion properties. The acrylic tape’s foam core allows it to enhance and contract with temperature changes. The viscoelastic properties merged into these tapes enable them to adapt to surface irregularities and gaps, offering a better fit by compensating for some part-to-vehicle mismatch.
In North America, the US has witnessed an unprecedented rise in number of COVID-19 cases, which has led to the discontinuation of double sided tape manufacturing activities. Other chemical and materials manufacturing sector has subsequently impacted the demand for double sided tape during the early months of 2020. Similar trend was witnessed in other North American countries, i.e., Mexico, Canada, Panama, and Costa Rica. However, North America is likely to overcome the ill-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and economic activities are regaining their pace gradually since the beginning of 2021.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The double-sided tape market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 2,208.04 million in 2021 to US$ 3,213.20 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.5 % from 2021 to 2028. The demand for electric vehicles is escalating across the world, especially in North America. Manufacturers of electric vehicles are focusing on increasing the battery capacities of their vehicles because of inaccessibility of charging stations for such vehicles traveling on roads in remote areas. With the rising adoption of electric vehicles in North America, the demand for double sided tape is also expected to increase, as these tapes are increasingly being used in electric vehicle components such as batteries, capacitors, and parking sensors. The use of double-sided adhesives tapes in electric vehicles is growing, owing to several requirements by the automotive companies such as replacing conventional substrates materials by synthetic substrates, increasing focus on environmental affairs, and bonding of dissimilar and similar materials. Double sided tapes also address these concerns in prospect to engineering since they are considered to resist vibration and allows the distribution of stress over an extensive area.
Key Market Segments
Based on resin type, the silicone segment accounted for the largest share of the North America double sided tape market in 2020. Based on backing material, the film segment held a larger market share of the North America double sided tape market in 2019. Based on end-use, the others segment held the largest share of the North America double sided tape market. Silicone adhesive tape consist of flexible, waterproof, non-woven tape with a unique silicone adhesive. It is fungus resistant and can fight ozone and ultraviolet radiation in outdoor environments. The gel in silicone tapes entails a lesser amount of polydimethylsiloxane that has zinc oxide as a component. Moreover, these tapes are resistant to ultraviolet radiation as zinc oxide serves as an inhibitor to them. Silicone adhesive tape are put together with silicone polymers and comprise of the only adhesive that can bond well with silicone substrates. Moreover, these adhesives are comparatively expensive and have a very less initial tack but can survive higher temperatures than both acrylic and rubber adhesives.
