Building & construction tapes market is also expected to be driven primarily by increasing product demand by consumers and contractors in developed economies.

U.S. Building And Construction Tapes market size and growth rate, 2024 - 2030

In addition, growing use of environment-friendly bonding solutions in North America and Europe is further expected to drive the product demand over the forecast period. Rapid growth of home renovating industry is likely to drive up product demand in the U.S. throughout the forecast period. Growing usage of tapes for bonding and protection is expected to boost the demand for lightweight materials throughout the projection period. Furthermore, introduction of innovative construction tapes by manufacturers in the country throughout the projected period is expected to drive product growth.

Building & construction tapes market value chain consists of raw material suppliers, product manufacturers, product distributors, and end-users. These tapes are used for interior and exterior applications in building & construction industry, such as HVAC, flooring, windows, walls & ceilings, doors, and roofing, among others. Different types of building & construction tapes such as double-sided, masking, and duct tapes are used for various construction applications.

Market Concentration & Characteristics

The building and construction tapes market growth stage is medium, and pace of the growth is accelerating. The market is characterized by a medium to high degree of innovation. The use of innovative adhesive tapes is increasingly replacing traditional bonding technologies such as flame-retardant adhesive foam tapes for lifting landing doors can help prevent the spread of fire in buildings.

Major players are prioritizing portfolio management through strategic acquisitions and divestitures. Since product innovation helps prevent price-based competition, a majority of companies emphasized building their technological capabilities to improve their product development capacity. Thus, the market is characterized by a high level of merger and acquisition (M&A) activity by the leading players.

Building And Construction Tapes Market Concentration & Characteristics

The market is also subject to increasing regulatory scrutiny. The ASTM and EPA standards have set aside the regulations and tests for adhesives and pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes. Moreover, construction adhesive tapes are subject to frequent changes in regulations and standards, which act as a challenge for tape manufacturers.

The product exhibits a notable number of substitutes due to the use of adhesives, sealants, and metal fasteners in applications where adhesive tapes find use. However, these substitutes are expected to be diluted on account of the production of advanced tapes occupied with superior performance of such tapes. Low existing penetration levels for adhesive tapes in the building & construction industry due to the high adoption of alternate products are expected to magnify the threat of substitutes.

End-user concentration is a significant factor in the building and construction tapes market. End-users include construction companies as well as individuals or homeowners. The tapes are used by end-users on a large scale for a number of applications including decorative panels, partition walls, wall claddings, structural glazing, and water & vapor barriers. Some prominent end-users are Bechtel Corporation, Kiewit, VINCI, and Fluor Corp. among others.

Product Insights

Double sided tapes are largest and fastest growing segment over the forecast period of 2024 to 2030 with a CAGR of 6.9%. Product growth in building & construction industry is expected to be driven by increasing penetration in Europe and North America. The product finds extensive use in bonding of trims and window attachments. In addition, such tapes are also used extensively in bonding door panels and mounting glass elements.

Duct tape is one of the major product types used in building & construction industry. The product finds extensive use in HVAC applications on account of superior properties such as insulation and protection. Companies such as 3M manufacture advanced duct tapes such as 3M Multi-Purpose Duct Tape 3900 which can be used across various applications and functions including wrapping, sealing, and protecting.

Backing Material Insights

Demand for foam-backed material is estimated to reach USD 2.02 billion by 2030. Shock absorption, vibration dampening, compensating for uneven surfaces, and thermal sealing across substrates with varying temperatures are all performance attributes of double-sided foam tapes. These tapes can also be used as seals to prevent air, gases, moisture, and humidity, thus growing overall demand for foam-backed tapes.

Foil-backed tapes find extensive use in HVAC applications due to requirement of high strength of the product. In addition, metal-backed tapes are used extensively to alter conductivity of the system. High malleability of product leads to increased product use across systems having multiple corners. Rising use of products for demanding applications is expected to drive product growth over the forecast period.

Application Insights

The use of tapes for flooring application is limited to protection against paints and other liquids and temporary bonding of wires during electrical installations. In addition, use of tapes on flooring for temporary bonding for commercial and industrial installations is expected to gain traction over the forecast period. Use of tapes on walls and ceilings for bonding is expected to emerge as one of the growing trends for building & construction industry in Asia Pacific on account of changing construction patterns.

The use of products for temporary or permanent mounting is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. Demand for building and construction tapes in windows is estimated to witness growth at a CAGR of 6.8% in terms of revenue, from 2023 to 2030, on account of rising demand for adhesive tapes for mounting window panels and sealing gaps in window panels.

Function Insights

Tapes are used for bonding trims and panels in the building & construction industry. Use of advanced high-strength tapes in the industry for mounting window panels is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. In addition, demand for adhesive tapes for temporary bonding and decorative bonding is expected to rise, as use of products for the aforementioned function is likely to gain traction driven by growth of industrial and commercial construction.

Tapes used in security glazing is expected to rise over the forecast period on account of rising use of tapes for dry. Increasing demand for room modifications in the building & construction industry has driven the demand for advanced tapes used for soundproofing. In addition, demand for tapes for cable management in Asia Pacific is expected to result in market growth. However, use of cable fasteners for the same application is anticipated to lead to high competition in the function segment.

End-use Insights

End-use is segmented into residential, commercial, and industrial industries, wherein residential accounted for the largest volume share of 49.6% in 2023. One of the major factors that are propelling product growth is its usage for bonding and barrier protection. Furthermore, customers in North America's residential industry indicate higher adoption of building & construction tapes due to increased preferences for aesthetics.

Global Building And Construction Tapes market share and size, 2023

Industrial sector accounts for limited use of adhesive tapes as such construction requires use of high-strength applications which in certain cases are better fulfilled by adhesives. Demand for tapes in the industrial sector is expected to be driven by continuing use of the product in building envelope and HVAC systems, thereby propelling the overall product growth.

Distribution Channel Insights

Major distribution channels employed by the industry players include direct and third-party. Key players in developed markets such as the U.S., Germany, and the U.K. resort to use of direct distribution channels to distribute their products. Presence of a notable distribution network and infrastructure supplements efforts of the companies to engage in direct distribution.
