Growth in some industries leading to infrastructure development and demand for construction sector with additional business solutions has indirectly benefited from the washi tape market.

Washi tape is basically a pressure sensitive tape used during painting in construction related activities. Washi tapes are available in a variety of strengths and widths, depending on the strength of their adhesive properties.

Washi Tape Market: Market Dynamics

Due to the growing trend of construction around the world, the building and construction sector shows a significant demand for washer tapes for painting. Ordinary household tapes are to some extent the same, but the integrity of the former is shown on the lower track.

If you want to place the construction outline on the drawing board, later removal will not damage the drawing. In general, the strength of washi tape is determined by how long the tape has been applied.

Painting activities typically require 7 to 14 days of washer tape. On the other hand, washi tape is used for a few days, but its adhesion is poor. Suitable for smooth surfaces such as freshly painted walls or wallpaper.

The growth of the automotive industry is also playing the most important role in the washi tape demand. The more functions of washi tape are rarely used in dent repair, painting and other activities in automobile manufacturing and repair.

Conversely, slow economic growth since the last decade, especially in some parts of Latin America, has had a negative impact on the washi tape market.

The centers of the recession most affected are Latin America, particularly Argentina and Brazil, where the region has the best automakers and thus the main end users of washi tape.

Like other product markets, the washi tape market is being severely impacted by the impact of COVID-19. The market has collapsed to some degree, in production, in the supply chain, in sales, at every point.
