Market Breakup | Categories |
Material | Paper, Plastics, Others |
Application | Pressure Sensitive, Glue Applied, Stretch and Shrink Sleeve, In-Mould, Others |
Region | North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa |
Paper maintains its steady growth in the market due to its cost-effectiveness and biodegradability.
Paper-based labels account for the majority of the labels market share as they are an economical solution as compared to other types of labels. Paper can be easily customised into varying sizes and shapes depending on the product requirement, which makes it an attractive option among label providers. These labels are also eco-friendly as they are biodegradable, which makes them a preferable option among market players and consumers who are looking for sustainable solutions.
Plastic labels are also anticipated to witness robust growth in the forecast period due to their high durability and long life compared to paper labels. These labels provide a glossy and high-quality finish, which can draw the attention of the consumers. These labels also offer high compatibility with cutting-edge innovations such as RFID tags and QR codes, which is expected to enhance their appeal in the forecast period.
Pressure-sensitive labels continue their dominance in the market due to their versatility and high-quality performance
The labels market is being driven by the rising usage of pressure-sensitive labels due to their versatility in design, graphical options, and ease of use, along with their superior performance characteristics. All these properties make them a common choice for the consumer packaged goods sector. They are also a popular choice among FMCG, household chemicals, and pharmaceuticals companies.
Due to the growth in the food and beverage sector, glue-applied labels are now the second most preferred type of label. These labels are cost-effective, which makes them an attractive option when there is a high-volume requirement, further contributing to the labels market expansion.
In-mould labelling is directly performed on the mould of the container, thus, eradicating the requirement for a physical label structure. It is expected to receive the highest growth in mature regions in the coming years, owing to its durability, affordability, capabilities of 3D decoration, and recycling.
