Initiatives taken by governments of several nations for the expansion of energy generation and other industrial development projects are expected to fuel the demand for self-fusing silicone tapes.
Impressive Functional and Physical Properties of Self-fusing Silicone Tapes Offering Lucrative Opportunities for Market Growth
Self-fusing silicone tape manufacturers have designed the tapes in such a manner that they fuse on their own without any adhesives. They fuse on an unclear surface without leaving any residue on the product. Self-fusing silicone tapes have endless applications in several industries.
The tapes are primarily used for industrial applications and also provide comfortable non-slip tool grips. Easy installation and the removable nature of self-fusing silicone tapes are expected to create great opportunities for manufacturers. These tapes reduce the use of traditional adhesive-based tapes that often leave behind sticky surfaces after removal.
Even though self-fusing silicone tapes do not contain any adhesion, they give a tight stronghold to combine wire, cable, etc. They also provide quick fusing that gives moisture-free and waterproof solutions. Self-fusing silicone tapes have high elasticity and provide a better and more extensive surface cover. They are effective even at high or low temperatures with their consistent hold and are effective for pipeline protection, repair, and sealing. The several benefits of self-fusing silicone tapes are creating growth opportunities in different end-use industries for a variety of applications.
Competition from Alternative Low Cost Tapes
Self-fusing tapes are more expensive because the raw material is required which is high in cost along with a high cost manufacturing process. High production costs associated with self-fusing tapes result in their low adoption and thus, cost-sensitive customers will be inclined toward other alternatives such as adhesive tapes, electrical tapes, and sealing tapes.
As conventional electrical PVC tapes providing electrical insulation are more cost-efficient than self-fusing silicon tapes, it will hamper the sales of the market. Similarly, heat shrink tubing, liquid sealants and adhesives are also good options over self-fusing tapes which may hamper the future market growth.
The global self-fusing silicone tape industry recorded a CAGR of 2.3% during the historical period between 2019 and 2023. The growth of self-fusing silicone tape industry was positive as it reached a value of USD 746.8 million in 2023 from USD 681.9 million in 2019.
