Adhesive tapes are lightweight, compact, and smooth, making them ideal for automotive applications such as bonding electronic components, securing parking sensors, attaching door cladding, and fixing spoilers and seals. For example, in January 2024, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association reported that the EU car market grew by 13.9% in 2023 compared to 2022, reaching total annual sales of 10.5 million vehicles. Therefore, the increase in automobile production is expected to boost demand for adhesive tapes and drive market growth.

Major companies in the adhesive tapes market are concentrating on launching innovative products such as recycled tapes to address the increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly solutions. Recycled tapes are adhesive tapes produced from recycled materials, often derived from post-consumer or post-industrial waste, thereby reducing environmental impact by lowering resource consumption and waste. For example, in August 2024, Shurtape Technologies LLC, a US-based manufacturing firm, introduced the Shurtape Recycled Series Packaging Tapes. This series, made from PCR polyester, includes three packaging tapes composed of 90 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) polyester sourced from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles and rigid containers. This innovative approach not only minimizes plastic waste but also assists companies in achieving their sustainability objectives while upholding high-performance standards.

In May 2023, ADDEV Materials, a manufacturing company based in France, acquired Parafix Tapes and Conversions Ltd for an undisclosed amount.
