World Labels

Global demand to grow 5% annually through 2013
World demand for labels is projected to expand 5.0 percent per year through 2013 to 46 billion square meters. The pressure sensitive segment will continue to see strongest gains, accounting for almost 60 percent of global label demand by 2013. In contrast, wet glued products will see slowest gains, with demand declining in many developed food and beverage markets where plastic containers continue to make further inroads in place of steel cans and glass bottles and jars. Other presently less significant technologies with favorable outlooks include shrink sleeve, wrap-around film and in-mold. Through 2013, plastic labels will continue to register much faster gains than paper labels that are largely used in wet glued applications.

Asia/Pacific region to strengthen market share

The Asia/Pacific region will expand its share of the world label market from 32 percent in 2008 to 35 percent in 2013. China and India will account for much of this increase, while Japan will see weak growth in its market. The market for labels in the US will see below average gains through 2013, but remain strong relative to other developed markets. Western Europe will see a noticeable deceleration in its label market growth, with some highly intensive (relative to population) users of labels in the region such as Ireland, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom expected to see an outright decline in their respective label markets. The remaining regions of the world accounted for just 13 percent of global label demand in 2008, but will see strongest growth through 2013, with prospects in Latin America and Eastern Europe particularly favorable.

Pharmaceutical labels, RFIDs offer good prospects
Among the various market segments, the smaller pharmaceutical sector will register particularly strong gains, aided by improving health care in the developing world and an aging population in the developed world. The food and beverage sectors will see weaker gains as a result of market maturity and stagnant population growth in the developed world, combined with the increasing penetration of cans, pouches and other packaging media that utilize printed product descriptions rather than labels. Certain label products that are part of the “other” segment will see strong growth. Among these are retail sector radio frequency identification tags (RFIDs) that allow labels to assume inventory control and management as well as informational functions. Smart labels will also see healthy growth in safety, security and surveillance applications in areas as diverse as patient monitoring in hospitals, electronic article surveillance in libraries, and next generation military applications
