Building and Construction Tapes Market Trends:

Significant Growth in the Construction Industry

The construction industry is experiencing significant growth owing to rapid urbanization and industrialization activities. This expansion is fueling the demand for building and construction tapes that are widely used in residential and commercial buildings, hospitals, retail stores, hotels, restaurants, warehouses, factories, industrial facilities, and manufacturing plants for sealing, bonding, reinforcing, repairing, marking, delineating, insulating, protecting, and masking applications. According to industry reports, the construction GVA in India is expected to grow by 8.5%-9% in FY2024e, in the backdrop of the Government’s thrust on infrastructure activity. It witnessed a YoY growth of 13.3% in Q2 FY2024 (compared to a 7.9% YoY growth in Q1 FY2024), driven by a healthy execution pace and moderation in raw material prices. Despite moderation in growth from the FY2023 level (+10% YoY), it remains higher than the long-term annualized growth of 5.3% during the FY2012-FY2023 period.

Extensive Research and Development (R&D) Activities

The utilization of smart pressure-sensitive adhesives for building and construction tapes that offer high-temperature resistance, strong sealing performance, easy removability, and excellent adhesion on a wide range of surfaces, such as tiles, composites, vinyl, bitumen, latex, and non-woven fabric is supporting the market growth. In recent years, the manufacturers of building and construction tapes have been heavily investing in advanced tape technologies that provide better adhesion, durability, performance, and weather resistance. For instance, in March 2023, IRPLAST implemented its green portfolio of products and solutions for a competitive edge. IRPLAST NOPP (Natural Oriented Polypropylene) TAPE is a new generation of high-performing and eco-friendly adhesive tapes, manufactured with 50% recycled materials.

Emerging Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Trends

Building and construction tapes are widely used in DIY projects, as they offer convenience, versatility, and ease of use for a wide range of home improvement and renovation applications, such as quick repair and fixes, sealing gaps, mending broken items, fixing pipes, insulating surfaces, patching holes, and protecting areas during painting works. According to LIRA, homeowners spent $463 billion on renovations in the first quarter of 2024. Americans spent a sizable chunk of change on home renovations in 2023, more so than a year prior. The median spending on home renovations totaled $24,000, a 60% increase from 2020, as per the Houzz study. However, homeowners in the top 90th percentile spent a median of $150,000, a 77% increase from 2022. Indeed, over half of homeowners spent $25,000 or more on renovations in 2023, up 14 percentage points from 2020. Kitchens remain the most renovated rooms (29%), with guest bathrooms (27%), primary bathrooms (25%), and living rooms following as the most preferred areas for renovation (21%).
