Heat-Shrink Tubing Markets, 2024 by Voltage (Low, Medium, and High), Material (Polyolefin, Polytetrafluoroethylene, Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Heat-Shrink Tubing Market by Voltage (Low, Medium, and High), Material (Polyolefin, Polytetrafluoroethylene, Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene), End-User (Utilities, Chemical, Automotive, Food & Beverage), Region - Global Forecast to 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The heat-shrink tubing market is expected to grow from an estimated USD 1.8 billion in 2019 to USD 2.3 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period.

A heat-shrink tube is a shrinkable tube used to provide electrical insulation, mechanical protection, environmental protection, and mechanical strain relief for connections, joints, and terminals in electrical work. The unshrunk tube is fitted on the wire and is shrunk using a hot air gun, soldering iron, or through heat from a lighter to wrap around the joint, terminal, and connections tightly.

Some types of heat-shrink tubes contain a layer of adhesive on the inside to provide a good seal and better adhesion. A heat-shrink tube protects cables and wires where they may be exposed to moisture, temperature, humidity, and dust. It is also used to bundle the cables together. It is available in different sizes, colors, tubing types, tubing materials, and shrink ratio. Its major end-user industries include utilities, automotive, chemical, healthcare, and others.

The heat-shrink tubing market is segmented by material, voltage, end-user, and region. The study covers the major regions such as Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. Asia Pacific dominated the heat-shrink tubing market in 2018. Asia Pacific was the fastest-growing heat-shrink tubing market in 2018.

China and India are expected to grow at a fast pace during the forecast period. Government initiatives to expand and upgrade T&D systems and continuous increase in the global power generation capacity would also boost the demand for the heat-shrink tubing market globally.

The leading players in the heat shrink tubing market are ABB (Switzerland), 3M (US), TE Connectivity (Switzerland), Sumitomo Electric (Japan), HellermannTyton (West Sussex), Alpha Wire (US), Qualtek (US), Insultab (US), Woer (China), and Guanghai Material (China).
