Seam tapes are multilayered adhesive films applied on sewn seams to prevent the leakage of water. Seam tapes are used to waterproof apparel, footwear, automotive parts, and sporting goods. These tapes may contain two or more layers depending on the end-use applications. Seam tapes are used in industrial work wear, tents, waders, footwear, and military garments.
Seam Tapes Market: Overview
Growth in the sports industry, especially in emerging economies such as India, China, Brazil, and Argentina, is the major factor driving the seam tapes market. Increase in demand for these tapes in the apparel industry is also boosting the market. Furthermore, rise in demand for protective clothing and accessories such as surgical/medical and chemical protection garments is augmenting the seam tapes market. However, volatility in prices of raw materials is likely to hamper the seam tapes market during the forecast period. Additionally, presence of underdeveloped sports industry in several economies such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, Africa, and few countries of Latin America is adversely affecting the seam tapes market.
