COVID-19 Impact on the Printed Tapes Market:

The instantaneous spread of COVID-19 has caused considerable disturbance to a wide range of industries across the globe. Some of the major printed tapes end-users who were enormously hit by the pandemic include the Food & Beverages, Consumer Durables, and Transportation & logistics.

At the start, the outbreak of COVID-19 has immensely impacted the materials supply chains, mining operations, international trade, and production processes across the globe. As a result of a lockdown across geographies, the manufacturing facilities have faced serious troubles. The market players have had to close production facilities or operate the facilities below the optimal manufacturing capacities to stop the spread of COVID-19. Regardless of the aforementioned reasons due to the impacts of the COVID-19, global material production was gradually raised in August 2020.

The pandemic, which began in 2020, has highly impacted the printed tapes market due to the major capacity fall and sluggish demand growth. The effect of the novel coronavirus on printed tapes market demand was uneven throughout value chains, with sharp drops in various applications and high demand for medical applications. On the other hand, several manufacturers altered their current factories to fulfill the growing demand for Printed Tapes.

Printed Tapes Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing demand from End-Use Industry

Printed tapes are gaining traction in the end-use industry, these tapes are used to enhance product traceability, ensures brand visibility, and safeguards the merchandise during transit. Moreover, companies are going for unique packaging that makes their products stand out from other. Printed tapes provide end-user with the option to make their brand recognizable from the outside of the package and deliver a message or warning right on the tape used to seal the carton box. These tapes find application in industries such as food & beverages, consumer durables, and transport & logistics.

Restraints

• Fluctuating Raw Material Prices

The quality of raw materials has a direct effect on the quality of printed tapes. A higher cost of raw materials will lead to a higher cost of production. The fluctuating price of raw material have a direct impact on the company to produce a product. Moreover, when the raw material price increases, the production cost also increases, which in the end increases the overall price of the finished product. Therefore, fluctuating price of raw material is going to restrain the global printed tapes industry in the years to come.

Opportunity

• Increase in Investment by Major Player and Expanding Digital Expertise
