Silicon Tapes Market by Type (Automotive, Electrical, Packaging, Textile, others); by Application (Sector Identification, Vibration reduction, Plumbing repairs, Wire harnessing, Cable management, Medical use, Corrosion prevention, Weatherproofing) - Global Historical Growth (2012-2016) & Future Outlook (2017-2027) Demand Analysis & Opportunity Evaluation

Silicon Tapes Overview

Silicon tapes are the non-tacky, self-amalgamating type tape. Basically it is produced from the cured silicon rubber which provides extended life and durability in its end use as a shielding tape. Further, silicone tapes are also known as self-vulcanizing, or silicone gel tapes. When silicon tape wrapped the around the pipes, electrical wire hoses and others it forms a waterproof, rubber, electrically insulated coating. It also resists the heat, moisture, sunlight, acid and other solvent. It has as wide application such as wire harnessing, vibration reduction, plumbing repairs, grip applications to tools, damaged wiring repairs, emergency repairs, wrapping purposes seal, electrical connections in various sector.

Market Size & Forecast

Global silicon tapes market is expected to grow at healthy CAGR in upcoming years. Factors such as weather, heat, sunlight, acid and other solvent resistance are anticipated to be dynamic factor for the rapid growth of the silicon tapes market over the forecast period. Recently growing demand of the silicon tape in chemical industry for the gas leakage, transmission and others application is expected to positively impact the growth of the silicon tape market across the globe. Further, it also has major application in healthcare, used for to minimizing the skin damage.

In the regional market North America accounted for the highest percentage of market share in the regional platform and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Silicon tapes are used for electrical insulation, gas leakage, waterproofing, vibration reduction, wrapping purposes and others. The growing demand of the silicon tapes in chemical industry is predicted to trigger the growth of the silicon tapes market in near future. Further, Europe is expected to contribute significantly towards the growth of the silicon tapes market. The market is mainly expanding on the back of the growth and expansion of chemical & petroleum industries in this region. Asia Pacific is also expected to grow at a significant pace in the upcoming period.
