Filament tapes are primarily used as a packaging adhesive for sealing heavy weight boxes or materials. The filament tapes are waterproof and chemicals resistant which makes it ideal for transporting heavy objects, strengthening plastic materials, packaging bulky cardboard boxes, sealing hazardous materials, and wrapping pipeline and cable. It is classified into low, medium, and high-grade products. It find application across automotive, food and beverage, furniture, consumer goods, specialty vehicle, general industrial, metalworking, military and government, and transportation. The global filament tapes market is estimated to surpass US$ 6,985.6 million by the end of 2027 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period (2020 to 2027).
Drivers
Rising demand for corrugated box packaging as it gives lightweight packaging solutions for various end-user industries such as automobile, electronics, and food and beverage is projected to foster the market growth of filament tapes. Increasing introduction of advanced filament tapes is also projected to boost market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in October 2018, Tesa SE launched a new range of premium filament tapes with fiberglass reinforcements. The new filament tapes provide durability in cases where regular strapping tapes are not strong enough to withstand very heavyweight, high abrasion levels, or extreme shear force. It is suited for applications in the metal manufacturing and processing industries.
Growing demand for filament tapes from the automotive industry for interior and exterior applications due to its excellent property of holding adhesives for longer times is further expected to foster the market growth of filament tapes. Rising demand for high-quality sealing and tensile strength packaging during transportation for protecting the product from UV rays and moisture is expected to serve as a driving factor to the market growth of filament tapes.
Among region, Asia Pacific held dominant position in the global filament tapes market in 2019, accounting for 35.9% market share in terms of revenue, followed by North America and Europe.

Global Filament Tapes Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
COVID-19 is spreading rapidly and has affected 210 countries. Effects of virus are felt around the world, however public construction activities have been maintained to some extent. However, the construction activities are expected to halt due to supply chain disruption owing to shortage of materials and sub-contractors. The residential & non-residential sectors, have faced significant supply chain disruptions and many have stopped the projects. This is expected to hamper the demand for filament tapes from construction sector. However, in the long term, i.e. in the next few years, filament tapes are expected to witness a steady demand and the global market is expected to reach US$ 6,985.6 Mn by 2027.
Competitive Section

Filament tapes is a pressure sensitive tape which is used for several packaging functions such as closing corrugated fiberboard boxes, building items and reinforcing packages. It is primarily used as a packaging adhesive for sealing heavy weight boxes or materials. The tape is most often used as a closure for corrugated boxes such as a full overlap box and final panel box.
Market Dynamics
Rising packaging industry driving the global filament tape market during forecaste period. According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India packaging industry is expected to reach US$ 204.8 billion by 2025 from US$ 50.5 billion in 2019 at 26.7% annually.
Rising production of bio-based adhesives tapes materials by the manufacturer is projected to hinder the market growth of filament because bio-based adhesives require high-capital and this could act as a challenge to the market of filament tapes. Moreover, decreasing the profitability margin of filament tapes manufacturer due to intense competition among producers for low-cost products is also protected to restraint the market growth of filament tapes over the forecast period.
North America region accounted for significant market share in the global filament tapes market owing to rising demand for high-quality sealing and tensile strength packaging during transportation. Filament tapes helps for protecting the product from UV rays and moisture is expected to serve as a driving factor to the market growth of filament tapes. These are the factors driving North America filament tapes market.
