Adhesive Films Market Outlook (2023 to 2033)

The global Adhesive Films Market is set to gain a valuation of USD 19.1 billion in 2023 and is projected to showcase growth at a CAGR of 4.6% between 2023 and 2033. The market is likely to reach USD 29.8 billion by 2033. Top 3 countries operating in the global market are expected to hold around 20% to 25% of share by 2023.

Handheld adhesive films are considered to be one of the most commonly used pump type owing to their numerous benefits such as small packaging size and convenience in terms of storage. The handheld segment is hence anticipated to register a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period.

A research study published by Future Market Insights states that the adhesive films industry generated a revenue of around USD 18.1 billion in 2022. Considering the skyrocketing demand for beauty and personal care products, the global adhesive films industry is estimated to create an incremental growth opportunity of USD 11.7 billion throughout the estimated time frame.

Over the course of the projected period, the market for adhesive films is also anticipated to rise at a profitable rate. The market for adhesive films is anticipated to increase due to the high demand for packaged food and beverages. The market for adhesive films is expected to expand 1.6 times its current value over the projected period as a result of the aforementioned causes.

Demand for adhesive films made of polypropylene is expected to surge in the next ten years. Polypropylene is considered to be cost-effective and versatile, unlike other polyolefin and thermo-forming materials. Polypropylene is also highly resistant to a wide range of solvent and acid solutions with a temperature range of nearly 212 degree Fahrenheit.

High demand for self-adhesive tapes is another crucial factor that would bolster adhesive films sales in the forecast period. Expansion of the pharmaceutical industry and increasing investments by key players in development of their e-commerce platforms would propel demand for self-adhesive tapes in the next ten years.

Top Trends Pushing Sales of Adhesive Films across the Globe

High Demand for Lightweight Cars Worldwide to Propel Sales of Sticking Plastic Sheets

Due to economic factors such as easy availability of raw materials, less stringent government regulations, and low transportation costs, key manufacturers producing adhesive films are expanding and shifting their manufacturing activities to emerging economies such as China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, and the Philippines.

Surging popularity of lightweight cars, as well as expansion of the packaging industry, will also have a beneficial influence on the adhesive films industry.

Expansion of India and China as industrial powerhouses in the construction, packaging, and automotive industries is another vital factor that would accelerate demand. Adhesive films are extremely strong, durable, and chemically resistant. Increasing usage of adhesive films as a replacement to fasteners in car components is projected to reduce the total weight of vehicles.
