Market Overview:
The global light blocking tapes market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for LCD and backlight modules, solar industry, and others applications across the globe. In terms of type, the under 40μm segment is expected to witness highest growth during the forecast period owing to its properties such as high transparency and low haze values.

Product Definition:
Light blocking tapes are adhesive tapes that can be used to block light from passing through a window, door or other opening. They are often used in conjunction with blackout curtains or shades to create a completely dark environment. Light blocking tapes can be purchased at most home improvement stores.
Under 40μm:
Under 40μm is the category of optical fiber cable length that has a core diameter of less than 40 microns. The small core size reduces the weight and increases the flexibility of these cables, which makes them suitable for use in high-temperature applications. They are used as light blocking tapes in solar panels to protect them from damage caused by weatherization and ensure longer life span.
The global light blocking tapes market size was valued at USD 1,37 billion in 2016.
40μm-60μm:
40μm-60μm is a range of block parties that are used for blocking light. It has high transmission and low absorption coefficient. 40μm to 60μm blocks out most of the light which is why it's called a block party.
Application Insights:
LCD and backlight module application segment led the global light blocking tapes market in 2017, accounting for a share of over 60% in terms of revenue. The product is widely used to prevent glare from sunlight during daytime and to improve the picture quality at night time. LCDs are widely used across commercial buildings, residential complexes, industrial units and public infrastructure projects owing to their thin profile design that does not affect the aesthetics of building facades.
The solar industry is expected to emerge as one of the fastest-growing segments over the forecast period on account of rising demand for photovoltaic cells across various regions including Asia Pacific and North America. Growing government support towards renewable energy generation coupled with increasing awareness regarding benefits associated with clean energy sources such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions has resulted in increased adoption across end-use industries such as construction materials manufacturing companies which are subsequently driving growth within this segment.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing regional light blocking tapes market at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing construction activities in emerging countries such as China and India. In addition, growing demand for LCD and backlight module in this region will drive the industry growth over the forecast period.
Europe was valued at USD X million in 2017 owing to high product demand from solar industry for mounting glass sheets on buildings, which will drive innovation and development of new products over the next eight years. The North American market is also estimated to witness significant growth due its early adoption of innovative technologies across various industries including automotive, consumer electronics, etc.; hence boosting product sales over the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for light blocking tapes from the automotive industry for window tinting and sunroof applications.
- Growing popularity of solar films and window tints in the construction sector as a means to reduce energy consumption.
- Rising demand for light blocking tapes from the signage and graphics industry for backlit displays and illuminated signs.
- Increasing use of light blocking tapes in medical applications such as ophthalmology, optometry, and laser surgery procedures.
