AWA forecasts continued growth in glue applied labels

The worldwide market for glue applied labels is the subject of a new, second edition of a market study from AWA Alexander Watson Associates. The Global Glue Applied Label Market and Technology Review 2011 provides an in-depth update of market and material data.

Cold (wet) glue applied labels and hot-melt, wrap-around glue applied labels have a combined 41 percent world market share and grew by 4 percent in 2010, says the report. The market is forecast to continue to grow in every region in the medium term, with Asia Pacific enjoying the most dynamic activity. Most glue applied labels are destined for the beverage market – which takes a 70 percent share of usage – and are based on papers.

The Global Glue Applied Label Market and Technology Review 2011 examines the market structure and value chain; market segmentation by end-use, geographies, and material choice; and evaluates in depth the world’s four main regions – Europe, North America, Asia Pacific and South America. Technology trends in both material choice and imaging are highlighted and, looking to the future, the effects of globalization and environmental issues are considered. The report ends with a company directory.
