Athletic taping is the process of applying tape directly to the skin in order to maintain a stable position of bones and muscles during athletic activity. It is a procedure that uses tape, attached to the skin, to physically keep in place muscles or bones at a certain position. This reduces pain and aids recovery. Taping is usually used to help recover from overuse and other injuries. The general goals of athletic taping are to restrict the motion of an injured joint, compress soft tissues to reduce swelling, support anatomical structures involved in the injury, serve as a splint or secure a splint, secure dressing or bandages, protect the injured joint from re-injury, and protect the injured part while the injured part is in the healing process.

The growing number of people participating in sports, recreational activities, and fitness programs has led to a higher demand for products that support injury prevention and recovery. As more individuals engage in physical activities, the need for supportive gear, including athletic tape, rises.

There is a heightened awareness of the prevalence and risks of sports-related injuries among athletes and the general public. This increased consciousness drives the demand for preventive measures like athletic tape to support joints and muscles during physical activity. With an increase in health and fitness awareness, many consumers now buy athletic tape for home use, particularly for self-treatment and injury prevention during workouts.

The expansion of sports medicine practices and rehabilitation centers has created a greater demand for athletic tape. Healthcare professionals utilize tape extensively for injury treatment, recovery support, and rehabilitation protocols, influencing its market growth.

There is a growing trend toward specialized athletic tapes, such as kinesiology tape and performance-enhancing tapes designed for specific injuries (e.g., joint or muscle support). Kinesiology tape, in particular, has gained popularity for its perceived benefits in pain relief and performance improvement.
