Product Definition:
Swellable Tape (Waterblocking Tape) is a water-activated tape used to block the flow of water through splices in telecommunications cables.
Non-conductive Tape:
Non-conductive tapes are used in waterblocking and swelling applications. They have a high proportion of silicone rubber, polyurethane or acrylic resin as a crosslinker. The product is available in various forms including pressure sensitive, cast films and liquid membranes.
The global non-conductive tape market size was estimated at USD 1,37 billion in 2016.
Semi-conductive Tape:
Semi-conductive tapes are used in waterblocking and swelling tape applications. They have a low enough resistance to electricity that they can be placed in direct contact with the circuit board without any protective coating. These products act as an excellent heat sink and help to maintain the temperature of sensitive components on a circuit board, which ensures that the components perform optimally for a longer duration of time.
Application Insights:
The communication cable application segment led the global swellable tape market in 2017. The segment is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to the growing demand for high-speed data transfer and communication services. Moreover, increasing use of fiber optics in long distance communications is further expected to drive growth over the forecast period.
Communication cables are used across various industries including oil & gas, energy & power, healthcare and defense among others for data transmission purposes. These cables are exposed to extreme environmental conditions such as temperature changes and moisture penetration which may cause damage or failure if proper waterblocking techniques are not adopted while manufacturing these products. Thus, companies offering these products have started providing customized solutions according to customer requirements thereby fueling product demand globally during recent years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region has witnessed a surge in demand for communication cables, power cables, and submarine cables due to rapid urbanization and industrialization. Moreover, increasing investments by telecom companies such as China Telecom Corporation Ltd., KT Corporation, NTT Docomo Inc., China Mobile Limited; energy companies such as China General Nuclear Power Corp.; IT Companies such as Cisco Systems Inc.; Sony Corporation; Google LLC; Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP; IBM Corp.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for waterblocking tape in data centers and telecom networks to prevent moisture-related damage and improve signal quality
- Rising popularity of swellable tapes among electrical contractors as a means of waterproofing junction boxes, wire connections, and other equipment in outdoor settings
- Growing use of swellable tapes in the construction industry to seal seams between panels of drywall, insulation, and other materials
- Proliferation of hybrid vehicles that require specialized waterblocking tapes to protect critical components from moisture infiltration
- Increased awareness among consumers about the benefits of using waterblocking tape for a variety of applications
