The global pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) film market is projected to grow from USD 13.9 billion in 2025 to USD 22.5 billion by 2035, expanding at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. This significant expansion is being fueled by rising demand across key industries, including packaging, automotive, electronics, and healthcare, where these films provide lightweight, solvent-free, and high-efficiency bonding solutions.
PSA films offer a versatile and efficient alternative to traditional mechanical fasteners and liquid adhesives, making them crucial for modern manufacturing and logistics. The market’s momentum is also being driven by a global shift toward sustainability, with innovations in bio-based and recyclable formulations addressing rising regulatory pressures and consumer preferences. As a testament to this, in February 2023, Arkema introduced a comprehensive range of PSA solutions, spanning hot melt, waterborne, UV, and specialty acrylics, demonstrating a strong industry focus on innovation to meet diverse application demands.

Key Market Segments Powering Expansion
Analysis of top investment segments reveals the core drivers of market growth:
- BOPP Films Dominate Packing Materials: BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) film is projected to hold a 40% market share in the packing material segment in 2025. BOPP films are favored for their high strength, excellent transparency, and durability, making them ideal for packaging in the food, beverage, and consumer goods sectors. Their cost-effectiveness, printability, and resistance to moisture and chemicals make them a preferred choice for flexible packaging. The increasing demand for eco-friendly and recyclable packaging further solidifies BOPP’s market leadership.
- Packaging Industry Leads End-Use: The packaging industry is projected to be the largest end-use segment, with a 30% market share in 2025. PSA films are used extensively for labels, wraps, and protective films. The surge in e-commerce has created a heightened demand for secure, tamper-evident packaging, which PSA films provide. The industry is also seeing a shift toward sustainable PSA films, accelerating growth as companies invest in eco-friendly and functional packaging solutions.
Market Dynamics and Trends
The PSA film market is expanding, driven by technological advancements and shifting industry needs, while also grappling with significant challenges.
- Automotive and Electronics Fuel Growth: The market is benefiting from rising demand in the automotive, electronics, and construction sectors. In the automotive industry, PSA films are essential for applications like masking during painting and bonding lightweight components, particularly in electric vehicles (EVs) where they are used for insulation and battery thermal management. In electronics, their strong adhesive properties and dielectric strength make them crucial for insulation, protective layers, and circuit shielding. The shift toward advanced materials and automation in these sectors is further propelling the need for high-performance PSA films.
- Raw Material Price Volatility a Key Challenge: The industry faces a critical challenge from fluctuations in raw material prices, particularly for PET resin, rubber, and acrylics. These costs, heavily influenced by global oil prices and supply chain dynamics, can compress profit margins, especially for smaller manufacturers. Trade restrictions and shipping disruptions further complicate procurement, impacting production and pricing stability.
