COVID-19 IMPACT

The emergence of COVID-19 pandemic led to Slowdown in Production Activities and Affected the Market Growth

Due to the lockdowns imposed amid the pandemic, the production of various products in the market slowed down. It also hindered the market growth and will most likely continue this trend in the coming years. Many manufacturing companies halted their production activities to reduce their expenses. Shortage of labor & raw materials and fear among the population regarding the spread of the virus also affected market growth in the early stages of the pandemic. Terminating the construction activities also reduced the demand for the tapes, further impacting the global market growth. However, with ease of restrictions, the market will steadily increase in the forthcoming years.

GROWTH FACTORS

Rapid Urbanization and Growing Construction Industry to Facilitate Market Augmentation

The critical factor that is driving the market growth is the rising construction industry worldwide. Continuous improvements in the economic condition in developing nations such as China, Brazil, India, and others that lead to improving the standard of living also drive the market's growth. Moreover, the rise in industrialization, changing lifestyle trends, and housing and construction development contribute to global market growth. The increasing urban population in emerging economies and the substantial development rates for infrastructure propel the demand for building and construction tapes worldwide. Additionally, using new technologies in tapes that lead to significant performance aids market growth.

Significant Benefits Offered by Building and Construction Tapes to Propel Market Expansion

Building and construction tapes can fight against harsh environments & high temperatures and can bond securely with several materials and substrates. Such tapes offer high performance and are thus gaining massive demand from the building and construction industry. Demand for these tapes worldwide for mounting, fixing, and sealing gaps in door panels or windows drives the global market growth. Furthermore, owing to their high barrier capabilities, the construction industry widely uses roofing tapes for sealing and water proofing applications, thus bolstering the market growth. These tapes are also used to fill and sheath joints in window perimeters and as air and water-resistant barriers that further aid market augmentation. The excellent insulation feature offered by the electrical tape boosts the demand in many construction industries. Furthermore, the rise in demand for such tapes in HVAC installation also contributes to the global market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Fluctuation in Raw Material Costs to Impede Market Progression

Many raw materials used in tape manufacturing are experiencing price fluctuation due to the emergence of the pandemic. Raw materials, such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, and polyethylene, are produced with the help of petroleum. However, the volatility in petroleum prices leads to an increase in the costs of raw materials, further affecting the building and construction tapes market growth. For instance, according to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), crude oil production was reduced to 7.7 million barrels/day till Dec 2020, leaving it the single most considerable reduction in the overall history. Declining crude oil demand has led to volatility in raw material costs since the occurrence of the novel coronavirus, thus hampering the market.
