The global sealing and strapping packaging tapes market attained a value of USD 19.52 Billion in 2025 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 5.00% through 2035. The market is further expected to achieve USD 31.80 Billion by 2035, driven by rising e-commerce parcel volumes, the shift toward recyclable paper-based tapes, and the steady use of strapping and bundling tapes across distribution, manufacturing and retail supply chains.
Online retail volumes in emerging markets show how parcel flows turn into tape demand. Delhivery reported in August 2026 that it handled 322 million express parcels in the quarter ended June 2026, up 55.2% year on year, with revenue from services of INR 2,931 crore, up 27.8%. Every parcel is sealed at least once and many are strapped for transit, so rapid growth in express volumes lifts consumption of carton sealing tapes at fulfilment sites, sorting hubs and seller packing benches across India, and bundled shipments add demand for strapping tapes.
Europe shows a more mixed pattern. DHL Group said in July 2026, in preliminary results for the quarter ended June 2026, that Post & Parcel Germany earned EBIT of about EUR 135 million against EUR 166 million a year earlier, while Group EBIT rose about 29% to around EUR 1,850 million. Softer domestic parcel earnings keep European shippers focused on packaging efficiency, which favours tapes that seal reliably at lower film thickness and meet tightening recyclability expectations from retailers, so demand tracks parcel counts closely.
Australia adds a third reading. Australia Post reported in August 2026 that parcel volumes grew 5.3% over the twelve months covered by its annual results, with total revenue up 4% to AUD 9.83 billion, although excluding one-off property sales it posted an underlying loss of AUD 107.6 million. Growing parcel counts alongside cost pressure push carriers and retailers to cut packing time and material use, which supports demand for easy-dispensing, high-yield sealing tapes and reliable strapping for consolidated freight, especially when buyers negotiate annual supply contracts, volume rebates and delivery schedules.

Intertape Polymer Group, backed by Clearlake Capital Group, announced in October 2026 that it had acquired Clysar, LLC, a North American maker of polyolefin shrink film based in Clinton, Iowa. Clysar will operate as Clysar, an IPG Company, alongside IPG's Exlfilm brand, widening a portfolio that already spans pressure-sensitive and water-activated tapes and stretch film. Companies can leverage broader portfolios to supply sealing, strapping and film from one source.
Aramex reported in August 2026 record quarterly revenue of AED 1.83 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, up 22% year on year, with net profit of AED 47.4 million and its highest freight forwarding revenue in company history. Strong logistics throughput sustains demand for carton sealing and bundling tapes among shippers. Companies can secure tape supply contracts early to protect packing lines during peak periods.
China's State Post Bureau announced in July 2026 that national express delivery volume had passed 100 billion parcels by the end of June 2026, nine days earlier than a year before. Each parcel needs a closed carton, and mixed pallets and bundles need strapping, so record volumes keep tape converters in the region at high utilisation. Companies can leverage regional tape production to shorten supply chains.
3M reported in April 2026 that Safety and Industrial segment net sales reached USD 2,930 million in the quarter ended March 2026, up from USD 2,745 million, with organic growth of 3.2% and segment operating income of USD 776 million, up from USD 699 million. Company sales were USD 6.0 billion, up 1.3%. Companies can expand industrial adhesive and tape ranges to capture steady manufacturing and distribution demand.
Avery Dennison reported in July 2026 net sales of USD 2,462.9 million for the quarter ended June 2026, up 10.9%, with organic growth of 7.6%. Materials Group net sales were USD 1,796.1 million, up 15.9%, or 9.7% organically. Adjusted earnings per share reached USD 2.89, up 19.4%. Companies can leverage broad pressure-sensitive materials franchises to cross-sell tapes and labels to the same converters and brand owners.
Nitto Denko reported in July 2026, for the quarter ended June 2026, revenue of JPY 271.7 billion, up 10.3%, and operating profit of JPY 49.2 billion, up 15.4%, naming industrial tape demand tied to AI servers and battery bonding materials as a key driver. It lifted full-year operating profit guidance from JPY 193.0 billion to JPY 200.0 billion. Companies can leverage electronics-grade tape expertise to diversify beyond packaging.
Nichiban reported in August 2026 net sales of JPY 12,264 million for the quarter ended June 2026, up 2.9%, while operating profit was JPY 621 million, down 4.7% from JPY 651 million. Profit attributable to owners was JPY 393 million, flat on a year earlier. The company left its full-year forecast unchanged at net sales of JPY 52,000 million. Companies can leverage cost discipline to protect margins when material costs rise.
Mativ, the group that Scapa describes itself as now part of, reported in August 2026 net sales of USD 531.8 million for the quarter ended June 2026, up 1.2%. Its Sustainable and Adhesive Solutions segment grew 2.8% to USD 330.1 million, with growth in tapes, labels and liners, and adjusted EBITDA of USD 50.5 million at a 15.3% margin. Companies can leverage specialty tape lines to lift margins.
This Expert Market Research's Report titled "Global Sealing and Strapping Packaging Tapes Market Report and Forecast 2026-2035" offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
Market Breakup by Material
Key Insight: Paper is the fastest-growing material, and packaging press reported in January 2026 that the key provisions of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation become applicable from August 2026, with recyclability and recycled content duties that favour tapes recyclable with the carton; Polypropylene holds the dominant share, and Takealot Group reported in June 2026 revenue of USD 1 billion, up 19%, for the year ended March 2026, with more than 60 million orders across its platforms; Polyvinyl Chloride covers conformable, moisture-resistant tapes used for heavy-duty sealing and bundling; and Others captures niche backings such as cloth and nonwoven materials.
Market Breakup by Type of Adhesive
Key Insight: Acrylic captures the largest share on the strength of weatherproof, ageing-resistant adhesion for cartons stored or shipped across climates; Rubber is the fastest-growing adhesive type, valued for high initial tack on rough or recycled cartons; Silicone covers specialised high-temperature and low-surface-energy uses, and Wacker reported in July 2026 that Silicones division sales rose 6% to EUR 757 million in the quarter ended June 2026; and Others captures hot-melt and water-based systems outside the main chemistries.
Market Breakup by Application
Key Insight: Carton Sealing is the dominant application, and Jumia reported in August 2026 that Nigeria gross merchandise value rose 36% and orders 34% in the quarter ended June 2026, a sign of rising online parcel volumes in Africa; and Strapping and Bundling is growing considerably as freight is consolidated onto pallets and bundled for transit.
Market Breakup by Region
Key Insight: North America is anchored by e-commerce fulfilment, industrial distribution and a deep base of tape converters; Europe is shaped by mature parcel networks and recyclability rules for packaging; Asia Pacific holds the largest share, led by China, Japan, India, ASEAN and Australia, and the State Post Bureau reported in July 2026 that China handled 89.89 billion postal parcels in January to May 2026, up 4.3%, including 82.87 billion express parcels, up 5.2%; Latin America is the fastest-growing region, led by Brazil, Argentina and Mexico, and the MercadoLibre results letter published in August 2026 showed Argentina gross merchandise volume up 38% on an FX-neutral basis and items sold up 22% for the quarter ended June 2026; and the Middle East and Africa is led by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Nigeria and South Africa, where the Transport General Authority reported in May 2026 that Saudi Arabia recorded over 118 million delivery orders in the three months ended March 2026, up 49%.

By Material, Polypropylene holds the dominant share of the market while Paper grows fastest because polypropylene film tape combines strength with low cost, while paper tape answers demand for recyclable, plastic-free cartons.
Polypropylene leads because its film backing combines strength, low cost and dependable adhesion on automated lines, which suits high-volume sealing. Henkel reported in August 2026 that its Packaging and Consumer Goods business area grew organically by 4.7% in the six months ended June 2026, driven by strong growth in the Packaging business, a sign that adhesive demand from packaging converters and brand owners remains healthy, which supports steady tape purchasing across distribution centres, contract packers, regional wholesalers and e-commerce sellers.
Paper grows fastest as sellers replace plastic backings with tapes that recycle with the carton. The Office for National Statistics reported in September 2026 that the proportion of sales made online in Great Britain rose from 28.4% in July 2026 to 28.8% in August 2026, with online spending values 8.9% above a year earlier. Steady online volumes keep parcels flowing, and each box needs a firm seal, so paper tape suppliers can steadily win share as retailers refine packaging specifications.
By Type, Acrylic leads the market while Rubber grows fastest because acrylic adhesives resist weather and age well, while rubber adhesives deliver high initial tack on rough or recycled cartons.
Acrylic leads because its weather resistance and long-term bonding stability suit cartons stored in warehouses or shipped across climates. Arkema reported in July 2026 group EBITDA of EUR 391 million for the quarter ended June 2026, up 7.4%, and said its Adhesive Solutions business had a strong quarter on growth in industrial applications, even as the company described global demand as largely unchanged from previous quarters, a stable backdrop for acrylic tape adhesives sold to converters, distributors and large shippers.
Rubber grows fastest where cartons are rough, recycled or cold and a quick, tacky grab matters more than long-term ageing. H.B. Fuller reported in June 2026 net revenue of USD 950.3 million for the quarter ended May 2026, up 5.8%, with Hygiene, Health and Consumable Adhesives revenue of USD 421.9 million, up 6.1%, with pricing adding 3.0% and volume down 0.4%, a sign that adhesive makers rely on price and mix to defend returns in packaging chains and customer contracts.
By Application, Carton Sealing leads the market while Strapping and Bundling grows steadily because cartons dominate e-commerce shipments, while bundled goods and pallets need reinforcement during freight.
Carton Sealing leads because every shipped order needs a closed box, from small parcels to cartons packed for distribution. DHL Group's half-year report in August 2026 showed DHL eCommerce revenue of EUR 3,154 million for the six months ended June 2026, down 7.5%, while Group revenue rose 5.3% to EUR 42,787 million. Mixed cross-border parcel flows keep sealing tape consumption tied to retail demand, so converters track shipping volumes closely. Suppliers therefore plan sealing tape inventories around retail demand cycles.
Strapping and Bundling grows steadily wherever multi-item shipments, building materials and pallets need securing. Japan Post reported in May 2026 that it accepted 4,302.28 million parcels in the year ended March 2026, down 0.8%, with Yu-Pack volume up 1.3% to 565.47 million items, Yu-Packet up 4.7% and Yu-Mail down 2.1%, a shift toward trackable parcels that need secure closure and bundling during consolidated freight handling. Suppliers of bundling tapes therefore watch parcel mix and pallet loads when planning production runs.
Asia Pacific commands the largest share of the market, shaped by dense manufacturing, export packing and the dense parcel networks of China, India and Southeast Asia, with online shopping spreading across emerging economies.
This is supported by Sea Limited, which reported in August 2026 that Shopee processed 4.2 billion gross orders in the quarter ended June 2026, up 27.5% year on year, with gross merchandise value of USD 38.3 billion, up 28.4%. Every order shipped across Southeast Asia needs sealing, and such volumes sustain demand for carton sealing tapes among sellers, fulfilment centres and regional converters, while strapping tapes secure bulk shipments moving through ports and busy inland distribution hubs across the region.
Latin America grows fastest, and in Mexico MercadoLibre reported in August 2026 that net revenues rose 55% to USD 2,337 million in the quarter ended June 2026, with FX-neutral sold items up 34%. North America, Europe and the Middle East and Africa grow through fulfilment automation, recyclability rules and expanding delivery networks, where tape buyers weigh cost per sealed carton, adhesive performance in cold or humid storage and the availability of paper-based alternatives and short regional delivery lead times.
The global sealing and strapping packaging tapes market is moderately fragmented, with a handful of diversified adhesive and materials groups competing alongside specialist tape converters and many regional manufacturers that serve e-commerce sellers, contract packers, retailers and industrial shippers.
Competitive dynamics are increasingly shaped by the move to recyclable paper-based tapes, tighter packaging regulation, automation-ready dispensing and converting capacity, integrated packaging portfolios that bundle tapes with films and machinery, and the pricing pressure created by low-cost regional producers.
Avery Dennison Corporation reports a Materials Group alongside its other businesses. In April 2026 it reported net sales of USD 2,298.5 million for the quarter ended March 2026, up 7.0%, with Materials Group sales of USD 1,649.3 million, up 11.4% and 1.9% organically, and adjusted earnings per share of USD 2.47, up 7.4%.
Nitto Denko Corporation reports industrial tape, optronics and human life results. In May 2026 it reported revenue of JPY 1,028,171 million for the year ended March 2026, up 1.4%, with industrial tape operating profit up 12.6% on demand for smartphone battery tapes, and approved a share buyback of up to 20 million shares worth JPY 50 billion.
3M Company is a diversified industrial group that reports a Safety and Industrial segment. In July 2026 it reported GAAP sales of USD 6.5 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, up 2.4%, with GAAP earnings per share of USD 1.78, and raised its full-year adjusted earnings per share outlook to a range of USD 8.80 to USD 8.95.
tesa SE makes adhesive tapes and self-adhesive solutions and has been a wholly owned affiliate of Beiersdorf since 2001, with plants in Germany, Italy, China, the United States and Vietnam. Beiersdorf reported in August 2026 that tesa sales fell 0.9% organically to EUR 839 million in the six months ended June 2026, with organic growth of 2.5% in the three months ended June 2026.
