The global thermoplastic tape market is on a path of significant growth, with an anticipated valuation of US$ 2.3 billion in 2023 and a projected CAGR of 4.7% between 2023 and 2033, resulting in a total market worth of approximately US$ 3.6 billion by 2033. This growth is underpinned by the expansion of infrastructure development and construction activities worldwide.
The integration of automated tape laying (ATL) and automated fiber placement (AFP) technologies marks a significant leap in the evolution of the thermoplastic tape market. ATL, with its robotic precision, meticulously places thermoplastic tapes onto substrates or molds, ensuring a consistent pattern and minimizing human errors. This not only enhances efficiency but also elevates the overall quality of the final product. Complementing ATL, automated fiber placement (AFP) technology adds a layer of strength and reinforcement to thermoplastic materials by precisely laying continuous fiber tapes or tows. This innovation enables intricate geometries and customized fiber orientations, contributing to improved mechanical properties and optimized performance in thermoplastic tape-based components. Together, these advancements propel the industry towards enhanced productivity, accuracy, and material utilization.
