Water Blocking Tapes Market by Conductive Type, Application

List of Tables

The Water Blocking Tapes Market was valued at USD 2.52 billion in 2023, expected to reach USD 2.85 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.54%, to USD 6.15 billion by 2030.

Water blocking tapes are specialized materials employed in cable infrastructure to prevent water ingress and maintain the integrity of the cable systems. These tapes are commonly used in telecommunications, power cables, and other applications where exposure to moisture could lead to failure or damage. The necessity of water blocking tapes is driven by the need to enhance the durability and reliability of cable installations, particularly in environments prone to moisture or water exposure. They function by expanding upon contact with water, thereby creating a barrier that confines the water and maintains the performance of the cable assembly. End-use industries for water blocking tapes include telecommunications, power utilities, data centers, and underwater cabling for offshore projects.
