Seam Tapes Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • High demand for seam tapes in functional apparel: The sales of seam tapes are rising owing to high demand in the sportswear sector for their gasp-filling properties and versatility. In water sports, swimsuits are manufactured with ultra-thin and ultrasonic sewing incorporated with seam sealing tapes. The innovations in fabric technology such as the introduction of waterproof and water-repellent fabrics are boosting the use of seam tapes in swimsuit production. Functional apparel such as sportswear, protective clothing, and activewear highly used by health-conscious and healthcare individuals are boosting the application of seam tapes. Thus, the rising demand for outdoor and performance wear is anticipated to augment the seam tapes market growth in the coming years.
  • High application in automobile manufacturing: The automotive sector is one of the major users of seal tapes owing to their durability and high performance. Sealing tapes such as wire harness tapes and electrical tapes are used in vehicles for electrical wire protection from moisture and damage. Furthermore, in automobile engines, conducting shielding tapes are used due to their extra protectiveness. Manufacturers are also developing advanced sealing tapes to be used in vehicle interiors, batteries, and other components for an effective binding process. For instance, in January 2023, Lohmann GmbH & Co.KG revealed the launch of a new advanced sealing tape for low-emission bonding in vehicle interiors. The new ‘DuploCOLL LE 59xxx’ double-sided pressure-sensitive tape is manufactured in an energy-efficient manner to align with the sustainability trend and aid vehicles in mitigating carbon footprint.

Challenges

  • Emergence of advanced substitutes: Alternative sealing adhesives are also gaining traction that may hinder the sales of seam tapes to some extent. Some smart fabric producers are developing advanced sealing technology, which significantly limits the use of conventional seam tapes.
  • Lack of awareness of seam tapes: The limited awareness of seam tape use is expected to hinder their adoption rates, particularly in underdeveloped and developing regions. Many organizations from the textile, automotive, and construction sectors in these regions have less knowledge of the advantages associated with seam tape use such as durability, strength, and waterproofing, which can lower their sales.
