Pressure Labels Market: Growth Drivers

Growth of the transportation & logistics sector to drive the market growth

The recent continuous rise of the logistics industry and the consequent rapid expansion of the transportation sector are two of the key factors driving the global market for pressure labels. The increasing use of long-distance transportation chains and the requirement for a large number of sales outlets have made logistics essential.

Due to the simplicity of applying pressure labels and the increased consumer interest, the market for pressure labels has benefited greatly from this trend. In the upcoming years, pressure labels are going to be in high demand from the logistics and transportation sector due to how simple it is to deliver product information appealingly. Thus, driving the global pressure labels market growth over the forecast period.

Pressure Labels Market: Restraints

Stringent policies imposed by the government for labeling of food products are expected to hamper the market growth

The market is dominated by the food and beverage industry. To prevent health issues and adverse effects, food products, and perishable goods must include the date of manufacture, expiration date, and other crucial information. Certain regulations governing the packaging and labeling of food goods have been established by the government.

It is potentially dangerous for the ink and adhesives used in such labels to mix with the food and pass through the packaging. For instance, some of the ingredients in inks might be poisonous and even fatal, which restrains the market's expansion.

Pressure Labels Market: Opportunities

Growing demand from the food & beverages industry is expected to provide a lucrative opportunity for the market expansion

The growing demand from the food & beverages industry is expected to provide a lucrative opportunity for the global pressure labels market during the forecast period. Pressure labels are extremely essential to the food and beverage industry because of the expanding usage of food packaging technologies for long-distance shipment since they allow for the incorporation of product information, regulatory information, and identification data like barcodes.

Pressure Labels Market: Challenges

Government regulations for environmental protection act as a major challenge for the market expansion

The use of plastic in labels, including polyester film, polypropylene, and others, as well as disposal issues, are major barriers to the expansion of the pressure label market. As a result of mass production and lack of recycling, plastic landfills are expanding.

According to UN Environment, just 9% of plastic is recycled, with the remainder ending up in landfills, dumping sites, and the environment. Governments have established laws and standards governing label recycling. For instance, the UK government and the Devolved Administrations, which are committed to environmental protection, have both expressed a strong desire to establish extended producer responsibility for the packaging, which would require producers to pay the full cost of disposing of the waste they produce. Thus, these factors hamper the market growth during the forecast period.

Pressure Labels Market: Segmentation

The global pressure labels market is segmented based on type, composition, printing technology, application, end-use industry, and region

Based on the type, the global market is bifurcated into release liner labels and linerless labels. The release liner labels segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021 and is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. Pressure-sensitive labels are available with release liners to avoid adhering the labels to unwanted surfaces. In many industries, packaging and labeling processes on self-adhesive labels with release liners.

Around 90% of release liners are made up of paper due to easy availability and lower price. The rest of the labels have film release liners which are stronger than a paper liner but are comparatively expensive. It protects the labels from various factors such as dust and other minute particles that can adhere to the adhesive side of the labels and damage their sticking ability. Increasing demand for release liners from the food and pharmaceutical industry is expected to drive the market. .

However, the linerless labels are expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to their cost-saving nature. Linerless printing decreases the weight of mobile printers and reduces label roll shipping costs, as linerless rolls weigh up to 40% less than traditional labels with a liner. Thus, driving segmental growth.

Based on the end-use industry, the global pressure labels market is bifurcated into food & beverages, consumer durables, pharmaceuticals, home & personal care, retail, transportation & logistics, and others. The food & beverages segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period.

The market for pressure-sensitive labels is projected to depend heavily on the expansion of the food and beverage sector. Pressure-sensitive labels are now an absolute necessity for the food and beverage industry due to the expanding use of food packaging technology for long-distance shipping because they allow for the incorporation of product information, regulatory information, and identification data like barcodes on packaged food. On the other hand, the pharmaceutical segment is growing at a significant rate owing to the increasing demand for pharmaceutical products.

Recent Developments:

• In July 2021, Bostik announced the introduction of high-performance technical hot melts, which are available in pellet, powder, web, and film adhesives for use in a variety of industries, including building, construction, transfer printing, textiles, and automotive. Following the expansion of its specialist hot melts product portfolio, this was done to enhance its share of the global thermobonding market.
• In February 2021, Henkel has introduced Technomelt Supra ECO, a new line of hot melt adhesives that maintains the performance of the Supra line while delivering higher sustainability and lower CO2 emissions. The cutting-edge goods are the outcome of strong cooperation with Dow, which created a bio-based polyolefin elastomer that can successfully replace materials made of fossil fuels.
