New AWA Pressure-Sensitive Label Market Study To Offer Post-COVID-19 Pandemic Impact Analysis

With a 40% share of the total labeling market, pressure-sensitive labels are still the leading label format around the world, as the sixth edition of AWA Alexander Watson Associates’ new AWAreness™ Report:   Global Pressure-sensitive Label Market 2020 confirms. Not only that; in 2019, pressure-sensitive (p-s) labeling enjoyed 3.3% growth.
 
Regional markets
Today, the Asian region represents the highest percentage of the p-s label market, with a 38% share — and is still growing.  North America, Europe, and even South America also experienced growth in 2019. However, the fastest-growing but currently small,  regional market is now Africa and Middle East, which saw 3.6% growth last year – and is a new focus point for the labeling and packaging industry as a whole.   
 
End-use markets
Globally, the food and beverage end-use segments represent the highest use of p-s labels in primary labeling applications, with a 44% share of the total market.  However, significantly, transport and logistics applications represent a 47% share of p-s use today – a sign of the times, because variable information printing is the key factor in supporting a safe, trustworthy e-commerce/internet sales supply chain.
