Foam Tape Global Market Report 2026

Foam tape is a form of adhesive tape made from foam material. It offers cushioning, sound dampening, and sealing capabilities, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Foam tape is frequently utilized for mounting, gasketing, and insulation purposes. Its adaptability and robust adhesive backing enable it to adhere to uneven surfaces, absorb shock, and deliver thermal insulation.

The primary categories of foam tape include single-sided foam tape and double-sided foam tape. Single-sided foam tape has adhesive applied to just one side of the foam, while the opposite side serves as a cushioned protective layer. The various types of foam comprise polyethylene, polyurethane, neoprene, acrylic, among others, along with several resin types such as rubber, silicone, acrylic, and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). Different technologies include solvent-based, water-based, and hot-melt-based options, catering to sectors such as automotive, construction, electrical and electronics, aerospace, packaging, and more.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The foam tape market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.77 billion in 2025 to $11.63 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in automotive manufacturing, widespread use in mounting applications, demand for vibration damping solutions, expansion of construction activities, availability of pressure sensitive adhesives.

The foam tape market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.78 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising electric vehicle production, growth in electronics assembly, increasing demand for insulation solutions, advancements in adhesive technologies, expansion of sustainable foam materials. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for high bonding adhesive tapes, increasing use in automotive assembly, rising adoption in construction sealing applications, expansion of double sided foam tape usage, focus on lightweight and flexible bonding solutions.

The rising demand from the construction sector is anticipated to drive the foam tape market's growth in the future. Construction encompasses various tasks related to developing infrastructure for sewage, stormwater, and nonpoint-source projects. This surge in construction activity is attributed to rapid urbanization, infrastructure expansion, and technological innovations. Foam tape is particularly useful for sealing gaps and joints in construction, especially around windows, doors, and other openings. For example, in June 2024, TST Europe, a Swiss manufacturer of quick-release couplings, reported that total construction spending in the U.S. reached $1.98 trillion in 2023, marking a 7.4% increase from the previous year. As of 2023, the U.S. had around 745,000 construction businesses. Thus, the growing demand from the construction industry is fueling the foam tape market.

Leading companies in the foam tape sector are creating acrylic foam tapes that offer enhanced bonding strength and durability. These tapes are recognized for their strong adhesion to various surfaces, such as metals, plastics, and glass, and they are resistant to extreme temperatures, moisture, and UV radiation. For instance, in November 2023, CCL Design, a Canadian packaging and labeling firm, introduced the 5400 LSE acrylic foam tape series, which allows for primerless adhesion to plastics, thereby simplifying application and boosting efficiency. This tape provides an exceptionally strong bond to polypropylene (PP) and adheres well to automotive paints, making it suitable for automotive uses. Moreover, it is free from perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), catering to the increasing demand for environmentally friendly products.

In May 2024, Sun Chemical, a U.S.-based supplier of inks, coatings, and adhesives, entered into a partnership with Lohmann Tape Group to support sustainable plastic and laminated card markets. Through this partnership, both companies aim to address evolving substrate materials by offering adhesive solutions compatible with recycled or bio-based plastics, thereby strengthening their combined presence in tape bonding applications. Lohmann Tape Group is a Germany-based manufacturer of adhesive tapes and converting solutions, providing a broad range of specialty adhesive tapes, including foam and pressure-sensitive tapes, along with converting services tailored to the packaging, electronics, and card manufacturing sectors.
