Kapton Tape Market Plying for Significant Growth During 2025
Kapton
tape aka polyimide tape can withstand a wide temperature range from
-269°C to + 400°C. Its electrical insulation and heat resistant
properties accounts for its extensive application in a host of
industries such as spacecraft, aerospace, electronics, medical, 3D
printing. Besides applications in thermal blankets and flexible
printed circuit boards that are used in spacecraft, satellites, etc.,
kapton tape is sought-after for cryogenics applications as it
displays unparalleled dielectric and thermal insulation traits at low
thermal gradient.

Report Overview @
The
report studies the kapton tape market based on product type,
application, and geography. North America holds supremacy in the
overall market driven by the growth of electronics and automotive
industries.
The
report presents market size and revenue projections based on historic
and current market figures. Industry-best analytical tools along with
proven research methodologies have been employed to provide accurate
projections.
Rising
demand for films that display high temperature stability attributes,
unparalleled di-electric insulation properties, and high chemical and
solvent resistance that find applications in various end-use
industries is fuelling the kapton tape market.
Silicon
based kapton tape is most commonly used for various applications.
However, demand for silicon free substitutes that display high
adhesive properties at mid-level temperatures is stoking demand for
acrylic based kapton tapes. While silicon based adhesive tapes
display higher adhesion at lower temperatures, i.e. below 0°C,
acrylic based products display higher adhesion at mid-range
temperatures, typically between 0°C and 100°C.
Acrylic
based tapes are primarily of two types, viz. pure and modified. While
pure and modified acrylic based tapes display similar
characteristics, the latter displays superior adhesive properties for
hard-to-bond plastics which makes them more expensive.
The
rising demand for circuit board masking tape in the manufacture of
electronics is another key factor stoking the growth of kapton tape
market. Circuit board masking tapes are made of polyester film and
silicon adhesive that have optimum thickness, and can be removed
cleanly from the substrate without leaving adhesive residues. Besides
this, the high temperature withstanding capability and easy to use
roll make circuit board masking tapes ideal for several applications
such as electronic assembly, anodizing, powder coating, masking
applications, and wet coating operations.
North
America accounts for the leading consumption of kapton tape, driven
by growth in electronics and automotive industries. Substantial
research pursuits in the U.S. for the development of newer adhesives
such as natural and synthetic rubber for kapton tape is also stoking
the growth of this regional market. Europe trails North America in
terms of consumption of kapton tape. High FDI in electronics and
automotive sectors, especially France, Germany, and the U.K. are
aiding the kapton tape market in the region.
Asia
Pacific is anticipated to emerge as a leading consumer of kapton
tape. A growing middle class population with disposable incomes is
displaying extensive demand for electronics that use kapton tapes.
Latin America and the Middle East and Africa are relatively small
markets for kapton tape due to low product awareness. Nevertheless,
growth of the automotive industry in GCC, Brazil, South Africa, and
Mexico will provide opportunities for the kapton tape market to
proliferate in these regions.
