Medical Adhesive Tapes Market To Reach $13.98 Billion By 2030

Medical Adhesive Tapes Market Growth & Trends

The global medical adhesive tapes market size is expected to reach USD 13.98 billion by 2030 and is expected to expand at 6.14% CAGR from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing number of people suffering from wounds, rising cases of traumatic accidents, and growth in the number of surgical cases are expected to be the key driving factors for the medical adhesive tapes industry.

The number of people with diabetes and other chronic diseases has increased, and as a result, more people are developing diabetic foot ulcers. For instance, according to the American Diabetes Association, 9.6% of the population, or over 2.4 million people, in Thailand are projected to have diabetes. Additionally, according to diabeticfootonline.com, up to 34% of diabetics are susceptible to getting a diabetic foot ulcer. This increases the demand for wound dressing, where medical adhesive tapes such as acrylic medical adhesive tapes & silicone medical adhesive tapes are used to keep wound dressing in place. This is impelling the market for medical adhesive tapes globally.

Moreover, an increase in the number of surgical procedures worldwide is further expected to impel market growth. Surgeries involve several incisions and amputations, which cause wounds. Further, most surgeries require pre- and post-operative infusion and catheter placements in patients. As medical adhesive tapes secure infusion lines and wound dressings, the demand for medical adhesive tapes is anticipated to increase with the rise in the total surgical case volume.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a region-wide lockdown, which in turn limited the market growth for medical adhesive tapes to some extent. However, it is anticipated that the medical adhesive tapes industry will expand significantly after the pandemic. This can be ascribed to a number of tactics utilized by top market players, including new launches, alliances, and global growth. For instance, in May 2022, 3M launched the Spunlace Extended Wear Adhesive Tape Solution, which was developed for extended wear devices that require to be attached to the skin with around 21-day wear time.
