Segments - Metal Foil Tapes Market by Type (Copper, Aluminum, and Lead), Adhesive Type (Rubber, Epoxy, Silicone, and Acrylic), End-use (Defense & Aerospace, Electronics, Consumer Goods & Appliances, Building & Construction, Automotive & Transportation, and Others), and Region (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 – 2031
The metal foil tapes market size was valued at nearly USD XX Bn in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD XX Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of XX% during 2023–2031. The market growth is attributed to the flexibility in developing customized products and reductions in costs of manufacturing components of the consumer electronics, medical, aerospace & defense, and automotive industries.
Metal foil tapes are adhesive tapes, which are made with engineered metals that make the tape ductile and malleable. Stainless steel, lead, copper, and aluminum foils are used primarily to make these tapes. One or double-sided adhesive tapes, with silicone, acrylic, or rubber used as adhesives, are widely manufactured globally. Stainless steel tapes are extensively used to prevent corrosion in extremely moist conditions.
Metal foil tapes find applications in the aerospace, building & construction, electronics, and metal finishing industries for their superior thermal and electrical insulation properties. Lead foil tapes are widely used as anti-corrosive and acid-resistant materials in anodizing and electroplating. RFI/EMI shielding in electronics is carried out by using copper foil tapes.
The COVID-19 pandemic affected the metal foil tapes market, due to the closing down of aerospace, construction, and automotive industries. Government-imposed lockdown and restrictions across the globe resulted in decreased manpower at manufacturing units and construction sites. Demand for metal foil tapes from the automotive sector faced a severe decline, with the shutting down of automotive manufacturing units in several countries.
Growing focus on the repair and maintenance of structures as well as the growing demand for insulation materials from the construction industry are likely to fuel the market during the forecast period. Quick repairs and rehabilitation of existing roads using metal foil tapes and the increased use of aluminum foil tapes for fixing roof damages are expected to boost the market in the coming years.
The availability of low-cost alternatives such as specialty adhesive materials is likely to hinder the market expansion during the forecast period. The availability of mastic tapes that are applied to difficult-to-reach areas is a hindrance to the market.
Growing use of metal foil tapes in heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems is a lucrative growth opportunity for the market. The use of proper insulation materials such as aluminum foil tapes increases HVAC efficiencies. The growth of the HVAC industry is a major opportunity for the metal foil tapes market expansion.
