Pressure Sensitive Tapes & Labels Market Size, Share and Industry Analysis Report by Backing Material (Polypropylene, Polyvinyl Chloride, Paper, Cloth), By Adhesion (Single Sided, Double Sided, Adhesive Transfer), Product (Tapes, Labels [Linered {Barcode, Others}, Linerless {Barcode, Others}]) and End-user (Food & Beverages, Healthcare, Logistics, Automotive & Transportation, General Manufacturing), Regional Outlook, Competitive Market Share & Forecast, 2023 - 2032

Global Pressure Sensitive Tapes and Labels market is slated to expand exponentially through 2032, owing to the increasing product demand from the manufacturing sector.

However, surging awareness about environmental issues associated with pressure-sensitive adhesives is likely to hinder market growth. To address this challenge, leading market players are heavily investing in R&D initiatives to bring more innovations in the industry.

Meanwhile, increasing strategic initiatives, such as mergers and acquisitions, among key industry participants would also outline the market outlook.

For instance, in February 2022, Mactac, a LINTEC Enterprise, announced the takeover of Spinnaker Coating, LLC for $130 million in specialty revenue at the cost of $40 million. As part of the agreement, Spinnaker would operate as a separate division of Mactac.

Through Spinnaker, LINTEC, and Duramark Products, Mactac provides customers with unrivaled technology, service, capability, and value. These consolidated pressure-sensitive adhesive technologies provide the required support and capacity to the North America market.

The global pressure-sensitive tapes and labels market has been divided in terms of adhesion, backing material, product, end-user, product by end-user, and region.

Based on backing material, the polypropylene segment is poised to grow at over 6.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032. Polypropylene is a stiff, petroleum-derived carbon material that is widely used for making shrink wrap and tight labels of rigid retail containers. Extensive material usage in the retail industry for various packaging and labeling applications is likely to drive the segment share.

With respect to end use, the food & beverage segment is projected to record strong growth, fueled by the increasing demand for packaged foods. Custom adhesive labels and tapes are used in the sector to ensure food safety by helping the packaging hold up to stressful conditions found during transportation and handling.

From the regional outlook, the Asia Pacific pressure-sensitive tapes and labels industry is expected to grow at 7% CAGR from 2023 to 2032. Strong demand from the region’s emerging packaging industry is expected to bolster revenues for the market.

Meanwhile increasing product demand from industries such as food and beverages, automobile, and industrial manufacturing operations would also outline regional market share. The APAC is home to some of the world’s biggest manufacturing hubs, with counties such as India and China accounting for the lion’s share due to their low labor costs. In fact, China’s manufacturing sector contributes to roughly 30% of the country’s economic output.

The competitive landscape of pressure sensitive tapes and labels industry is populated with major companies such as 3M Company, Avery Dennison Corporation, Berry Global Inc., Scapa Group Plc., Dewal Industries, LLC, American Biltrite Inc., LINTEC Corporation, Gaska Tapes Inc., CCL Industries, Mactac Americas, LLC., Coveris, Constantia Flexibles, Fuji Seal International, Inc., Inland, and UPM-Kymmene Oyj.
