Market Trends of Global Label Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Label Market according to our research experts:
Food and Beverage End-User Segment is Expected to Drive Growth of Labels
- Labeling is expected to exhibit maximum adoption in the food and beverage industry due to the importance of the aesthetic value of packaging in the food and beverage sector. Packaging extends the product's shelf life and attracts new customers.
- Food label carries useful information about a product. It provides information like the name and description of the product, Net weight, Date mark, Ingredient list, Nutrition information panel, Allergy warning or Allergen declaration, Name and address, and Country of origin.
- Glue-applied labels are the highly rated form of label due to the rise of the food and beverage industry. In-mold labeling is carried out directly on the container's mold, reducing the need for a physical label structure. Because of its durability, affordability, 3D decorating potential, and recycling, this kind is predicted to develop the most in developed countries.
- In numerous growing regions, modern retail trade outlets such as supermarkets and convenience shops that sell a more significant choice of frozen food goods are becoming more prevalent as global economies improve. Frozen and packaged food items, in particular, have expanded considerably, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In Germany 56% increase in customized packaged food sales year over year.
- According to Label Insight and the Food Marketing Institute, 86 percent of customers are concerned about transparency. At the same time, grocery shopping would place more faith in food producers and retailers that give comprehensive, easy-to-understand ingredient information.
Asia Pacific is Expected to be the Fastest Growing Market
- The Asia-Pacific region has the largest population in the world. As consumer awareness of packaging grows, so does the demand for packaging in the food and beverage industry and the need for fast and high-quality labeling solutions. Increased growth in the industrial and manufacturing sectors is expected to lead to positive growth in China and India's label market.
- Many Asian companies are located locally, shipping their machines to other parts of the world, helping to increase market profits in these parts of the world. For example, A.H. Industries operates more than 1000 machines in the pharmaceutical industry in India, Bangladesh, Egypt, the Philippines, and Syria. Their wide range of machines, such as wet adhesive labeling machines, are widely used to label pharmaceutical machines and have applications in the pharmaceutical industry.
- In the Asia-Pacific region, China and India, in particular, dominate the market. Throughout the region, the impact of COVID 19 varies from country to country. The manufacturing and production of the packaging and labeling industry work only in certain countries where packaging contributes significantly to GDP.
- In addition, three major regional industry groups such as the Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce (FICCI), the All Indian Food Processors Association, the US India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), and major beverage makers such as PepsiCo, Coca-Cola. Nestlé, Mondelez, and others consider the food and beverage manufacturing sector an "essential service" and call on the government to exempt lockdown restrictions from continuing production.
