Waterproof Tapes Market Size To Reach $23.22 Billion By 2030

Waterproof Tapes Market Growth & Trends

The global waterproof tapes market size is expected to reach USD 23.22 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.3% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. This growth can be attributed to the rising awareness of waterproofing to prevent water damage, structural weakening, and bacteria growth. The end-users are applying effective waterproofing systems to structures and buildings to ensure durability, safety, and long lifespan. The growing construction sector across the globe is further driving the product demand as it used in residential and commercial structures to protect them from water and moisture.

These tapes are considered crucial for sealing cracks, seams, and joints in various construction projects as they are attributed to encounter water. In addition, in areas prone to floods and other natural disasters, waterproofing systems are essential to protect the structure as well as populations. Furthermore, there is a growing emphasis on sustainable and green building construction, which is driving the demand for eco-friendly construction materials, such as waterproof tapes. The manufacturers are also involved in production of tapes with sustainable raw materials, which have less impact on the environment, thereby, complying with sustainable construction codes and standards.

The market is witnessing technological advancements in terms of production techniques and raw materials used for manufacturing. The emergence of new materials, such as nanoparticles, advanced polymers, and coatings, produced with nanotechnology is offering new growth opportunities to the manufacturers of waterproof tapes. Tapes produced using these materials help in improving the product performance and durability. The value chain of the industry comprises raw material suppliers, product manufacturers, distributors, installers, and end-users. Various raw materials used for production includes adhesives, such as silicones, rubber, acrylic, and backing materials, such as polyethylene, PVC, and several additives.

Furthermore, the industry serves various end-user industries including construction, automotive, electronics, packaging, and healthcare. This makes the market highly end-user-concentrated as they have a wide range of options to choose from. There are various product substitutes, such as waterproof sealants, membranes, adhesives, heat-activated tapes, and self-adhesive tapes. However, there are several factors to consider while choosing the type of product, such as cost-effectiveness and durability. Furthermore, the product also faces internal substitution on account of the presence of many backing materials, substrate types, and resin types.
