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.
