Acrylic is estimated to be the largest resin segment in the healthcare adhesive tapes market during the forecast period.
The acrylic segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period because of its better adhesion properties to a variety of substrates. Acrylic adhesive tapes are designed with high or low tack and high or low peel strength. These tapes are permeable to moisture that is measured by the moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR). Acrylic healthcare adhesive tapes release off from body or skin without leaving adhesive residue. These tapes are preferred for stick-to-skin application because of the breathable nature compared to rubber adhesive tapes.
