Global demand for labels is expected to increase 4.1 percent annually to 58.8 billion square meters in 2020. The Asia/Pacific region is projected to exhibit the fastest growth among regional markets, though the regions of North America and Western Europe will remain the largest. And while food and beverage processing applications will continue combining to account for about 30 percent of global label demand, pharmaceutical labels will register the most rapid growth among major end user markets.
This study analyzes the global label market. In the context of this report, labels are defined as any flexible material adhered to an object to indicate contents, pricing, ownership, directions, instructions, destinations, ratings, or other information. Decorative decals and stickers are also included. However, the study excludes all cloth and woven labels (e.g., garment labels), as well as labels printed directly on containers without the use of an intervening substrate. Also excluded are adhesive notes, tags, nameplates, decorative pressure sensitive tapes, graphic films, electronic article surveillance tags, postage stamps, and unprinted shrink neckbands.
Historical data for 2005, 2010, and 2015 and forecasts for 2020 and 2025 are provided for label demand by application method (pressure sensitive, glue-applied, and other) and material (paper, and plastic and other) on a country-by-country and region-by-region basis. Data are presented in square meters and generally reflect consumption of label materials prior to conversion loss. Markets for these products include food, beverages, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, durable goods, and others (e.g., mailing and shipping, cosmetics and toiletries, secondary labels, and more).
