(Food-Beverage-News.Com, December 07, 2021 ) The global self-adhesive labels market size is projected to grow from USD 46.5 billion in 2020 to USD 59.2 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 4.9%. The demand for self-adhesive labels can be attributed to the increasing disposable incomes of people in developing countries and changing preferences of manufacturers for cost-efficient and effective labeling, which compel people to rely on modern labeling techniques. Lack of awareness about various types of labeling techniques factors in decreasing the demand for labels. Varying environmental mandates in terms of printing on labels across different regions and the increasing cost of raw materials are significant challenges faced by manufacturers.
A large number of self-adhesive labels are used in the food industry for fresh food, meat, fish, seafood, fresh produce, poultry, and ready meals. Increase in demand for convenience and quality food products has led the market for self-adhesive labels.
