The increasing number of cosmetic surgeries and developing healthcare infrastructure in emerging countries are the other major factors expected to offer growth opportunities to the market players. To leverage the high growth opportunities for medical adhesive tapes in the emerging markets, manufacturers are strategically focusing on expanding their presence in China, India, Brazil, and Mexico.
Regulatory policies in the Asia-Pacific region are more adaptive and business-friendly due to the less stringent regulations and data requirements. The increasing competition in the mature markets will further compel the manufacturers of medical adhesive tapes to focus on emerging markets.
Paper is the fastest-growing segment of the market
Paper is a widely used backing material that adheres lightly to an individuals skin. It is most widely used for people (adults and infants) with sensitive skin. These are widely used for applications such as dressing and fixation of tubes. These tapes provide excellent comfort compared to the fabric medical adhesive tapes. Hence, they find significant applications in cases involving elderly patients. These tapes are also preferred in cases involving frequent redressing of wounds. The paper backing material is eco-friendly; it can be easily recycled and re-pulped. Therefore, it is a good choice in regions with stringent environmental regulations, such as Europe and North America. The increasing awareness about adhesive tapes in different end-use industries has led tape manufacturers to focus on products that can replace other fastening systems.
These factors have increased the demand for low-cost backing material such as paper for manufacturing tapes, majorly in South American and Asia Pacific countries such as India, South Korea, China, and Indonesia.
Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing market for medical adhesive tapes
The Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing market for medical adhesive tapes, in terms of value, due to the improving healthcare services and the rising level of income in this region. The rising population of the region, along with high disposable income and improved healthcare activities in this region, is driving the medical adhesive tapes market. Nitto Denko Corporation (Japan) and Nichiban Co., Ltd. (Japan) are the important players in this region. The manufacturing sector in Asia Pacific (excluding Japan), especially consumer products, is growing rapidly. Moreover, various new production facilities in the region, both export-oriented and domestic, utilize the latest manufacturing processes which are designed to use medical adhesive tapes instead of traditional mechanical fastening equipment.
China is a hub for assembling industrial products, majorly because of low labor costs. Fueled by booming economies such as China, India, and other countries in the Asia Pacific region, the medical adhesive tapes market is growing at a strong pace.
Major vendors in the medical adhesive tapes market include 3M company (US), Medtronic PLC (US), Medline Industries (US), Avery Dennison Corporation (US), Johnson & Johnson (US), Smith & Nephew plc (United Kingdom), Nichiban (Japan), Paul Hartmann AG (Germany), Nitto Denko Corporation (Japan) and Scapa Group PLC (United Kingdom).
