Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Tapes Market worth $92.41 billion by 2030
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The report 'Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Tapes Market by Type (Single-Sided, Double-Sided), Adhesive Type (Acrylic, Rubber), Technology (Solvent, Hot-Melt, Water-Based), Backing (PP, Paper), End-use Industry (Medical & Hygiene), and Region – Global Forecast to 2030′, pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes market size was USD 70.30 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 92.41 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.64%, between 2025 and 2030. Browse in-depth TOC on 'Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Tapes Market' 300 – Tables60 – Figures280 – Pages Download PDF Brochure: For healthcare, the materials used need to be safe and clean, yet comfortable to wear on the skin. Pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are embedded in numerous medical products, such as wound dressings, wearable devices, and surgical tools. They must adhere well but be gentle enough to pull off without damaging the skin. With more patients treated at home and wearing health monitors, these tapes are becoming even more significant in this healthcare sector. They are typically used in medical devices like continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), electrocardiogram (ECG) patches, and transdermal drug delivery systems. The adhesives should be reliable under movement, moisture, sweat, and changing skin conditions while maintaining breathability and comfort for the patient. For wound care, pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are employed to hold bandages and sophisticated dressings in place, with ease of removal and less trauma, particularly for older or sensitive patients. This makes pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes a more critical element in patient care and contemporary healthcare technology. The silicone segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes market during the forecast period. The silicone adhesive segment is expected to have the highest CAGR in the pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes market during the forecast period, growth that can be explained by its unparalleled performance in extreme temperature environments. This unique performance has made silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes indispensable in high-reliability market segments such as aerospace, electronics, and automotive under-the-hood applications. Unlike acrylic or rubber adhesives, silicones stay pliable and functional under heat stress, never hardening, melting, or degrading. Their stability results in a long lifespan in engine compartments, industrial ovens, HVAC systems, and airplane components, which are constantly subjected to variable or high temperatures. As end users put more emphasis on reliability under extreme conditions, silicone adhesives are rapidly becoming the go-to choice for high-specification thermal applications. Their ability to drive down failure rates in temperature-sensitive environments has generated increased use in both mission-critical and new thermal management applications. Request Sample Pages: Hot-melt-based technology is projected to witness the highest CAGR in the pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes market during the forecast period. During the forecast period, the hot-melt technology segment will be the fastest-growing segment in the pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes market. This rapid growth will be driven in large part by the increasing shift to environmentally responsible adhesive technologies. Unlike solvent-based adhesives, hot-melt-based pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are solvent-free systems, which means no volatile organic compounds are released by the adhesive during application, making it a safer and more sustainable adhesive option for manufacturers. The solvent-free nature of hot-melt adhesives allows manufacturers to conform to tightening environmental regulations and pursue their corporate sustainability objectives, while the performance of their adhesives is not sacrificed. The need for green, compliant, and low-emission materials to be used in packaging, labeling, and consumer goods applications is resulting in increased interest in hot-melt-based technologies over traditional methods. The consumer segment is projected to witness the highest CAGR in the pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes market during the forecast period. The consumer segment was the fastest-growing section of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape market between 2025 and 2030. The growth is due to the changing lifestyle patterns in decorative and event-based applications. Today's consumers are spending more of their time and money on seasonal decorations, party supplies, and home organization, where pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes provide ease and aesthetics. Removable wall hooks, LED light strips, gift-wrapping types, and party decoration kits all represent a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape formulation that produces a balance between adhesion and clean removability. The rising popularity of temporary but reliable bonds for special occasions (birthdays, weddings, festivities) has led to the emergence of specialty tape containing glitter, pattern, or transparent finish that creates quick setup and takedown without causing rip-cuts or surface damage, especially in rental properties and shared spaces. Thus, the increasing personalized and customized orientation of living spaces, conditioned by visual culture and social media, has expanded consumer-based tape uses and possibilities. North America was the second-largest pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes market in terms of value, in 2024. In 2024, North America was the second-largest pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes market in terms of value. North America is home to many of the world's best-known pressure-sensitive adhesive tape companies, such as 3M, Avery Dennison, Intertape Polymer Group, and Scapa Group. All these companies have a long history of R&D, product innovation, and custom/individual application, which further solidifies North America's position. Each of these companies has a full product line that addresses several markets, including electronics, construction, healthcare and medical, packaging, and aerospace. These companies are operating modern manufacturing facilities with global supply chains, which support quality and on-time delivery. Coupled with strong brand equity and distribution networks that facilitate deep penetration in the US, Canada, and Mexico, these firms exhibit strong customer loyalty. The presence of global organizations generates healthy competition, which allows smaller firms and startups to create a friendly competitive atmosphere, including innovative products for niche applications, such as biodegradable tapes or printable surfaces. These benefits allow North America to provide mature manufacturing and innovation capabilities, which can be utilized for global quality standards of PSA tapes in both demand and export markets.

CoinW Completes Major Platform Upgrade, Entering a New Era in the Future of Trading
HONG KONG, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As digital assets and decentralized technologies evolve at a rapid pace, user expectations for trading platforms have grown from simple transactions to a comprehensive, all-scenario, all-asset, and all-mode experience. Integrated ecosystems are fast becoming the industry's defining trend. CoinW, one of the world's leading cryptocurrency asset trading platforms, today announced the completion of a full-scale upgrade to its platform architecture and business framework. This milestone unites CoinW's diversified investments and ecosystem initiatives worldwide, spanning centralized and decentralized trading, foundational public chain infrastructure, and institutional-grade services, into a fully interconnected global digital asset ecosystem. The result is a high-performance, secure, and flexible environment for both asset management and trading. From Fragmented to Unified: A New Chapter in the Future of Trading For over a decade, digital asset exchanges have been the primary gateway to the blockchain world. Each major leap forward has come from innovation in trading models and improvements in user experience. Early platforms relied on centralized matching, offering high efficiency and liquidity but limited decentralization, with assets in full custody by the platform. As market needs grew, exchanges expanded to spot, derivatives, earn, Launchpad, and other services, creating the foundation of a multi-faceted product ecosystem. The rise of DeFi brought unique advantages in asset self-custody and on-chain transparency, attracting a surge of users and capital. To balance liquidity, efficiency, and autonomy, many platforms began integrating CEX and DEX capabilities, allowing users to switch freely between them. However, the growing diversity of on-chain assets, increasing demand for cross-chain trading, and large-scale institutional participation have revealed the limits of this hybrid model. Data silos, restricted asset flows, and inefficient strategy execution now hinder the user experience. The market needs a new platform architecture that delivers truly seamless, borderless trading. CoinW's full-stack integration upgrade answers this demand. Built on a unified account system and strategy engine, the platform deeply combines trading, settlement, custody, and assetization. It introduces AI-driven strategy execution and cross-scenario asset access, enabling smooth collaboration across asset classes, trading modes, and market environments. Both individuals and institutions can now deploy strategies, trade assets, and grow portfolios in one connected system. This upgrade is not only a technological and operational leap—it marks a milestone as CoinW enters a new era in the Future of Trading. Three Core Features of the Upgraded CoinW Platform Strategy-Driven Execution: The system automatically routes between AMM and CLOB based on user behavior and market conditions, while assisting in optimizing order execution strategies. Multi-Scenario Asset Access: Supports on-chain settlement, MPC self-custody, and trading of diverse asset classes including RWA (such as government bonds, equities, gold, and REITs). Modular Functionality: Users can activate centralized, decentralized, or institutional trading modules as needed, with a unified account system ensuring seamless data and capital flows. Four Pillars Powering a Complete Ecosystem Following its full-stack integration upgrade, CoinW's investment and strategic ecosystem is now anchored by four core pillars. Each pillar offers a complete suite of functions and services, designed to address the diverse needs of different user segments in trading and asset management. Backed by a unified infrastructure, data and assets can move seamlessly across multiple scenarios, chains, and asset classes—ensuring a consistent user experience and efficient resource allocation. This 'clear division of roles, unified architecture, and unified account system' approach delivers greater flexibility and scalability across the entire ecosystem. CoinW Integrated Trading Platform: Operating in over 200 countries and regions, supporting a wide range of mainstream and long-tail trading pairs. The platform leverages AI strategy tools and multi-layer risk controls to deliver intelligent order routing and optimized matching, providing users with an efficient and secure trading experience in a centralized environment. GemW On-Chain Asset Aggregation Platform: Aggregates high-potential and long-tail on-chain assets. Users can trade instantly without configuring a wallet or holding gas tokens — simply by entering a contract address. Powered by the LENS model, the platform combines on-chain data, social sentiment, and project analysis to help users identify promising assets. DeriW Public Blockchain Infrastructure: Built on a Rollup architecture with processing capacity of up to 80,000 TPS, enabling zero-gas perpetual futures trading and transparent on-chain matching. It also offers high-yield LP liquidity pools to deliver an efficient, transparent, and low-cost on-chain trading experience. PropW Proprietary Trading Platform: Designed for professional traders and institutional investors, offering quantitative trading tools, API access, flexible risk management solutions, and cross-market strategy support. The platform meets the demands of high-frequency and large-volume trading, providing an institutional-grade experience within a unified account system. 'Digital asset services are evolving from single-point trading to full-stack ecosystems, with increasing demand for cross-scenario liquidity and consistent user experiences,' said Nassar Al Achkar, Chief Strategy Officer of CoinW. 'Through a unified account system, we eliminate the boundaries that restrict asset management. This reflects not only our commitment to enhancing the user experience but also our strategic vision for global ecosystem synergy. CoinW is dedicated to building the financial gateway of the future, delivering a seamless and sustainable digital asset service.' Looking ahead, CoinW will continue to expand the range of supported on-chain assets, advance its AI strategy engine, and improve multi-chain and cross-scenario integration. As digital assets become an integral part of global financial infrastructure, CoinW will leverage its unified account system and full-stack architecture to provide a smooth, efficient, and secure service experience. More than just an upgrade, it marks the official dawn of the 'Future of Trading.'
