This study analyzes the global double-sided tape market.

Double-sided tapes typically include three components – backing, pressure sensitive adhesive, and one or more release coatings. Among backing materials used are:

• polypropylene
• polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• other plastic (e.g., cellulose acetate, fluoropolymer, nylon, polyester, polyethylene, polyimide)
• paper
• other materials such as cloth, rubber, glass fabric, foam, foil, and nonwovens

Markets evaluated in the study include:

• manufacturing, such as:
  • appliance production
  • electronics and electrical equipment manufacturing
  • medical device assembly
  • motor vehicles and other transportation equipment
  • packaging and printing production
  • personal care product manufacturing
• building and construction
• healthcare and medical
• other markets (e.g., automotive aftermarket, consumer and office, event setup, law enforcement, libraries, museums, packaging and shipping, picture framing, schools, signs and graphics, warehouses, movie sets and theater/concert venues)

For markets, a given tape is included in the application in which it is used. For example, manufacturing tapes include double-sided tapes that are used in joining, sealing, protecting, and mounting various components. When this product is packaged for sale (such as an appliance being placed in a box), this is considered to be the packaging and shipping market.
