Market Definition

Automotive adhesive tapes are basically the tapes that are made specifically for cars since they require a different type of adhesive, the capacity to tolerate greater temperatures, and the ability to hold longer and stronger across curves and sharp angles. Automakers can streamline their assembly procedures by using automotive adhesive adhesives. No holes must be drilled or punched in bonded parts, and assemblers do not need to measure torque or double-check fastening processes.

Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Automotive Adhesive Tape Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• High Demand For Electric Vehicle Battery Manufacturing

The growing utilization of the automotive adhesive tapes as a lightweight sealing option in electric vehicles has largely boosted the market growth. Electric car battery manufacturers utilize them all around the world to enhance production lines, increase safety, and reduce vehicle weight. Manufacturers rely on high-quality tapes, adhesives, and encapsulating materials to keep electric car batteries in place and protect them from the elements. As a result, this factor increases the market demand over forecasted period.

• Phasing Out of Traditional Fastening Systems

The traditional fastening systems such as nuts and bolts, screws and rivets, and mechanical interlocks are difficult as the material is prone to cracking under high pressure owing to tensile stress, making it unreliable and ineffective. Therefore, the conventional fastening methods are replaced with adhesive tapes. The traditional fastening systems are rendered obsolete by these tapes, which aid to extend the product's lifespan. Tapes also aid in the removal of rust and corrosion, the reduction of noise and vibration, the reduction of production and assembly time and the improvement of product design. These have been shown to boost productivity and efficiency while cutting production and material costs, which will largely bolster the growth of the market.

Opportunities

• Investments and Technological Advancements

Furthermore, the increasing investment in research and development for the production of advanced high strength adhesive tapes extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. Additionally, the introduction of environment friendly solvent recovery technology, as well as the performance enhancements in vehicles, have led to the installation of specialized components, will further expand the future growth of the automotive adhesive tape market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Volatility in Raw Material Prices

Adhesive tapes are made from raw materials such as rubber, acrylic, silicone, paper, polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), adhesives, and release liners. The majority of these basic materials are petroleum-based derivatives, which are susceptible to commodity price volatility. Moreover, owing to rising global demand and unrest, the oil prices have been extremely volatile in the past. The uncertainty and changes influence the market's growth in the cost and availability of feedstock. Therefore, the fluctuations in raw material prices are estimated to hamper the market growth.

• Stringent Regulatory Policies

The various regulatory agencies across the globe, which are implementing stringent regulations and policies to the chemical industry impedes the market growth. To limit VOC emissions, manufacturers in these regions are required to follow laws regulating the production and use of adhesive tapes for various applications. These regulations require manufacturers to switch from solvent-based to water-based technologies, which is a significant challenge for them because solvent-based adhesive tapes are more durable and can withstand a wide range of temperatures, making them suitable for a wider range of applications than water-based adhesive tapes. As a result, this factor poses as a challenge for the market.
