The global self-adhesive labels industry size was valued at USD 48.03 billion in 2023. The industry is projected to be worth USD 50.65 billion in 2024 and reach USD 82.17 billion by 2032. The rising adoption of labels from the consumer goods sector and increasing awareness of biodegradable products are expected to foster industry growth. Fortune Business Insights™ provides this information in its report titled “Self-Adhesive Labels Industry Size Report, 2024-2032.” The industry stood at USD 40.8 billion in 2020.
Self-adhesive labels are also called ‘pressure sensitive labels’ as they require pressure to stick to a surface or an object properly. They are used in several applications because of their benefits, such as minimum temperature property, solvent resistance, UV resistance, and strong adhesion. Their adoption enhances a product’s visual appeal and provides excellent adhesion in harsh environments. Adhesive labels’ rising adoption in the consumer goods sector is likely to boost their demand. Furthermore, they are used extensively in the food & beverage industry for packaging food products. Packaging labels save time, provide convenience, and resist unstable environments. In addition, the rising awareness regarding the benefits of biodegradable products is likely to boost their adoption. The labels utilize paper to provide biodegradability and impact the environment positively. These factors are likely to increase industry growth during the upcoming years.
