World demand for labels, by region, is now
dominated by the Asia Pacific region, which commands 34% of the market. In the
Asia Pacific region, glue-applied labeling technologies still take the major
technology share at 38%, although pressure-sensitive labels now claim a 34%
share. Prime label applications are the main growth driver, particularly for
beverages and food. China (at 42% of the regional market) and India are today
the most active markets for labels, but there remains huge growth potential in
Korea, Taiwan, South East Asia, and Oceania.
As the largest and one of the fastest growing
markets for labels, the Asian market continues to drive global growth in label
volumes. The Asian label market is not a homogenous market, but is composed of
markets defined by countries that show a wide range of growth rates and
sophistication in labeling formats. The New AWA report not only identifies
potential across the different technologies but also brings forth the exciting
opportunities the Asian label market has to offer.
The AWA sourcebook documents regional
preferences in label materials – paper and film – and identifies trends and
forecast growth levels in the medium term for glue-applied; pressure-sensitive;
heat shrink, stretch, and RFS/ROSO MD shrink sleeves; and in-mold technologies.
This data is set in the context of macro market drivers, raw materials price
issues, and environmental concerns.
