The Carton Sealing Adhesive Tape Market is expected to grow from US$12.906 billion in 2025 to US$16.868 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 5.50%.
Adhesives are synthetic compounds that are used to adhere to things. These are the materials that are utilized to firmly hold two surfaces together for an extended period. The carton sealing tapes are, as the name implies, tapes that are used to pack cartons. Carton sealing or packaging tapes are pressure-sensitive tapes composed of a pressure-sensitive adhesive placed on a backing material (typically polypropylene or polyester film) and fiberglass filaments. There is a large selection of carton sealing tapes available on the market, which can be purchased both online and offline.
The safety of single parcel shipments has become an important concern for companies in the e-commerce business since so many consumer goods are shipped in single parcel shipments. As a result, these tapes are an ideal choice for such players, assuring good package sealing ability and closure. The value of the carton sealing tape market is increasing as wholesalers and distributors require more packaged food and beverage items in bulk. Increased demand for water-activated carton sealing tapes for commercial and industrial applications, as well as the growth and expansion of the food and beverage industries, will boost the market value of carton sealing tapes. Other indirect factors driving the carton sealing tape market growth rate include the growth and expansion of the e-commerce industry, particularly in developing economies, the rise in consumer preferences for retail formats, the ever-increasing global population, and increasing personal disposable income. In the long run, rising consumer demand will also provide growth opportunities.
Due to increased demand from the e-commerce industry for the packaging of various shipments, the carton sealing segment is expected to account for considerable revenue growth in the target market in the coming years. Due to its qualities, such as sealing hefty cartons and bundles of unpacked products that are used for transporting, shipping, and distribution in the e-commerce business, easy-to-use carton sealing is the right answer owing to its versatility. As a result, the usage of sealing and strapping packing tapes increased as the e-commerce business accelerated. According to the International Trade Administration, there were over 27 million e-commerce users in Canada in 2022 accounting for 75% of the total population of Canada. It is estimated that the percentage of the number of e-commerce uses will increase by 2.6% in 2025.
Variations in the pricing and raw material availability, on the other hand, may slow the growth rate of the carton sealing tape market. Recycling is a difficult and time-consuming operation, which will slow the growth of the carton sealing tape industry. The carton sealing tape market's development pace will be slowed by rising environmental issues and rigorous rules governing the usage of plastic.
Because of its qualities such as water resistance, high flexibility, high abrasion, and others, the polypropylene sector is expected to contribute the most revenue share contribution in the target market in the approaching years. The rubber-based adhesive sector is expected to increase at the fastest rate in the prospective market.
Asia Pacific is expected to hold the greatest share in terms of value. The region's growing logistics business, combined with an increase in online shopping, is likely to expand the use of sealing-strapping packaging tapes in the region.
