World label demand to reach 42 billion square metres in 2011

摘要

The global label market is forecast to advance at an annual pace of 5,5% to 42 billion square meters in 2011. In value terms, demand will grow 8,3% annually, reaching US$100 billion. Gains will be fuelled by expansion of the world's packaged consumer goods markets, including speciality beverages, personal care products and medicinals. Also important will be the diffusion of advanced logistics and data processing systems throughout the developing world, and the development and penetration of technologically-sophisticated, value-added labels that serve a range of functions in addition to product identification.
