Peru’s Adhesive Tape Imports Surge in Early 2025, Driven by Chinese and U.S. Supply Chains
In the first half of 2025, Peru’s imports under HS Code 3919100000 — self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, and other flat shapes — recorded a remarkable performance. According to data from NBD DATA, total imports from January to June 2025 reached USD 9,977,228, across 4,442 trade records, involving 36 source countries, 664 Peruvian importers, and 265 global suppliers.
These adhesive products, including masking tapes, packaging films, and double-sided tapes, are widely used across construction, manufacturing, and consumer industries. Representative examples in trade descriptions include adhesive tape rolls and PVC self-adhesive films, which have been increasingly demanded by Peruvian distributors and industrial users seeking cost-efficient sealing and insulation materials.
Monthly Import Trends: Stable Growth through Q2 2025
From January to June 2025, Peru’s adhesive tape imports exhibited consistent monthly inflows, with values ranging between USD 1.4 million and 2.1 million.
During the first quarter, imports averaged around USD 1.8 million per month, driven primarily by replenishment cycles in retail and industrial supply chains. By June, volumes rebounded as distributors prepared for mid-year demand peaks.
Overall, the six-month trajectory indicates steady demand rather than speculative spikes, suggesting adhesive tapes have become an essential input in Peru’s diversified manufacturing base.
