Rising construction activities in developing countries
The rising industrialization and commercialization in developing countries located in Africa, Latin America and Asia are fueling the demand for construction activities. The construction industry plays a vital role in the emerging economies of such countries.
Developing countries require adequate building structures for businesses, housing, and other purposes. Considering India is one of the most prominent developing nations, revolutionary schemes such as the smart city mission, which has targeted 100 cities in the country is, projected to improve the infrastructure with advancements and modernization.
Improvements in the construction of buildings require innovative solutions; building and construction tapes can offer advanced insulation and protection solutions. Thus, the rise in construction activities is observed to boost the growth of the building and construction tapes market.
Weather limitations associated with the building and construction tapes
Despite offering unmatched advantages to the building structure, few adverse weather conditions can affect the adhesion and overall productivity of building construction tapes. Excess heat can completely change the adhesive performance of building construction tapes; high-temperature conditions melt the adhesion. In contrast, shallow temperature conditions fail the application of tapes. Moreover, certain building and construction tapes are sensitive to UV rays.
Along with this, tapes with no water-resistant properties cannot perform well in the rainy season. Excess humidity and even dryness in the weather are prone to affect the adhesion of tapes. Thus, such weather limitations hamper the market’s growth by creating an obstacle. However, the market players are focused on developing tapes that can withstand extreme weather conditions to combat such obstacles.
Production of eco-friendly tapes
Building and construction tapes are non-biodegradable. Also, the production of such tapes releases volatile organic compounds. Overall, building and construction tapes can be harmful to the environment. The rising environmental concerns have forced market players to develop green or eco-friendly tapes that can combat severe environmental issues, this is also observed to offer lucrative opportunities to manufacturers.
Multiple companies involved in the global building and construction tapes market have already shifted their focus to the production of eco-friendly tapes in order to contribute to the environment. For instance, in July 2022, a globally leading manufacturer of tapes, nitto denko corporation, announced a new scheme for recognizing environmentally friendly products.
