Masking Tape for Construction Market Report 2025

The masking tape for construction market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.33 billion in 2024 to $3.57 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for renovation and remodeling projects, expansion of infrastructure development projects, rising awareness of workplace safety, growing need for cost-effective and efficient surface protection solutions, and the availability of a wide variety of masking tapes.

The masking tape for construction market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.66 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to the rise in green building certifications, increasing preference for quick and easy application tapes, growing demand for high-temperature-resistant masking tapes, the need for precision and clean-edge finishes in construction, and expansion of modular construction techniques. Key trends during this period include the introduction of smart labeling and color-changing indicators on tapes, use of recyclable backing materials, innovations in easy-tear and residue-free removal designs, development of UV-resistant masking tapes, and advancements in heat-resistant adhesive technologies.

The growing popularity of do-it-yourself (DIY) projects is expected to drive the growth of the masking tape for construction market going forward. DIY projects involve individuals undertaking home improvements, repairs, or creative tasks without professional help. This trend is largely driven by cost savings, as more homeowners choose to handle painting, repairs, and remodeling themselves to avoid professional service expenses. Masking tape supports these activities by providing easy-to-use surface protection, clean paint lines, and strong adhesion across various surfaces during painting and construction. For example, in 2023, Houzz Inc., a US-based software platform, reported that kitchen and bathroom remodels remained the most popular projects, with 28% and 25% of homeowners upgrading these areas in 2022, up from 27% and 24% in 2021, respectively. Therefore, the rising popularity of DIY projects is fueling the growth of the masking tape for construction market.

The increasing demand for residential properties is expected to boost the masking tape for construction market. Residential properties include buildings such as houses, apartments, and condominiums designed for people to live in. This demand is driven by rapid urbanization, as migration to cities for jobs, education, and healthcare increases the need for housing. Masking tape plays a key role in residential construction by providing effective surface protection, ensuring clean paint lines, and aiding precise finishing during painting, drywall installation, and interior work. For instance, in June 2024, Statistics Finland, a government agency, reported that households spent $6.1 billion (EUR 5.2 billion) on renovating dwellings and residential buildings in 2023, a 2.7% increase compared to 2022. Thus, growing residential property demand is driving the market for construction masking tape.

In June 2022, Clearlake Capital Group LP, a US-based private equity firm, acquired Intertape Polymer Group Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen Intertape Polymer Group's leadership in protective packaging by enhancing e-commerce capabilities, investing in sustainable solutions, and improving operations. Intertape Polymer Group Inc., based in the US, manufactures packaging products and systems, including masking tape for construction.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

Masking tape for construction is a type of pressure-sensitive adhesive tape used in construction activities to protect surfaces, temporarily hold materials, and create clean paint lines. It is designed to stick firmly yet remove easily without damaging surfaces, making it essential for painting, plastering, and general surface preparation in construction projects.

The main material types of masking tape for construction include paper masking tape, plastic masking tape, foam masking tape, and vinyl masking tape. Paper masking tape is made from a thin, easily torn paper backed with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. Thicknesses vary from thin masking tape (1-3 mil), medium-thickness masking tape (4-6 mil), to thick masking tape (7-10 mil). Applications include painting and finishing, construction and renovation, automotive and transportation, as well as electronics and electrical uses. End users span residential construction, commercial construction, industrial sectors, and do-it-yourself (DIY) projects.
