The automotive adhesive tapes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.34 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electric vehicle growth, advanced material adoption, demand for faster assembly, sustainability-driven adhesives, electronics integration. Major trends in the forecast period include increased use of lightweight bonding solutions, replacement of mechanical fasteners, growth in ev and electronics applications, demand for noise and vibration reduction, adoption of high-temperature tapes.

The growing adoption of electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the automotive adhesive tapes market in the coming years. Electric vehicles (EVs) are powered by an electric motor that draws energy from a rechargeable battery and can be charged externally. Automotive adhesive tapes are used to permanently bond battery cells and insulate electrical components within EV batteries, making the rising adoption of electric vehicles a key factor for market growth. For instance, in May 2024, according to the Global EV Outlook 2024 report published by the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, new electric car registrations in the United States reached 1.4 million in 2023, reflecting a more than 40% increase compared to the previous year. Therefore, the increasing trend of electric vehicles is propelling the automotive adhesive tapes market.

Leading companies in the automotive adhesive tapes market are focusing on producing high-performance tapes for electric vehicle batteries. High-performance automotive tapes help reduce the weight of EV batteries while improving overall vehicle efficiency. For instance, in September 2023, Avery Dennison, a US-based adhesives manufacturer, launched the Volt Tough portfolio of electrical insulation tape solutions. This advanced range of electrically insulative, single-sided filmic tapes addresses challenges related to inadequate electrical insulation in EV battery packs and significantly reduces battery pack weight.

In August 2024, H.B. Fuller, a US-based adhesives company, acquired HS Butyl Limited for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, H.B. Fuller aims to strengthen its global specialty construction tapes portfolio while creating new opportunities in engineering adhesive solutions. HS Butyl Limited is a UK-based manufacturer specializing in high-quality butyl tapes, which provide strong, permanent, watertight seals for applications in construction, infrastructure, automotive, and renewable energy industries.
