The In-Mold Labels Market is witnessing rapid growth owing to the rise in the need for decorative and durable labels in the modern packaging industry. The Global In-Mold Labels Market share was valued at USD 3.18 billion in 2020. The better quality of in-mold labels over other labeling products makes them a preferable choice in the market.
In in-mold labeling, the preprinted labels are thermally attached to plastic containers during the molding process. This technique enhances the durability of labels and gives a label look to the container. Moreover, these labels also offer a wide range of print colors, textures, and effects. Furthermore, they are scratch-resistant, moisture resistant, and thermally stable. The Global In-Mold Labels Market is estimated to grow USD 3,364.10 million at a Compound Annual Growth Rate ( CAGR ) of 4.50% over the forecast 2021-2030.
Packaging and the overall appearance of a product are vital factors affecting the product's demand in the market. In-mold labels give the option of 360 ° print on the packages. It can also be placed on containers of varying shapes and forms. As packaging and labeling plastic fuse together during in-mold labeling, it ensures the recyclability of the packaging plastic. Therefore, the demand for these labels is rising significantly. The global In-Mold labels Market value is estimated to be worth USD 4.3 billion by the end of the current forecast period in 2028.
Covid-19 had a negative impact on the global In-Mold Labels Market. The halt in industrial production, as well as the fall in demand for consumer goods, affected the market badly. Restrictions in travel and movement of goods affected the supply chain causing irregularities in the market. Moreover, the decline in income of people over the period led to less demand for packaged goods thereby, indirectly decreasing the demand for in-mold labels.
The major global companies playing a key role in the In-mold labels market are :
Drivers
The rising demand for high-quality and cost-effective labels from different end-user industries like food & beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries are driving the growth of the global in-mold labels market. Decorative packaging & labeling has become an essential factor in the establishment of brand impression in the market nowadays. Therefore, the In-mold label being the most popular choice is witnessing a rapid surge in the demand.
The favorable properties of in-mold labels such as 360° printing ability, 3D printing, better color, and texture increase its demand. Additionally, these labels are durable, moisture-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and more resistant to temperature changes. Therefore in-mold labels are suitable for the needs of different industries.
Moreover, in-mold labeling is also an environment-friendly technique as it enables recycling of the complete plastic containers. Furthermore, increasing automation and digitalization in the label printing process and technology is also propelling the growth of the In-Mold Labels Market.
Restraints
The high cost of tooling and robot systems used for in-mold labeling is the major factor hindering the growth of the global in-mold labels market. Moreover, these systems require long runs so it becomes expensive for small batches requiring shorter runs. Furthermore, these machines also have a high defect rate which decreases the demand for in-mold labels.
Technology Analysis
In-mold labels are pre-printed polypropylene stickers creatively designed to give information about the product. It fuses with plastic containers during the thermal molding process. This method of placing decorative labels on plastic goods by thermal molding is known as in-mold labeling. It ensures the durability of the label and enhances the aesthetic value of the container with its wide options of colors and designs.
In-mold labels provide advantages of better print quality with the ability to have more colors, 3D effects, and textures. This ensures better branding of the products. Moreover, In-mold Labels (IMLs) are durable, scratch-resistant, and environment friendly as they can be recycled along with the plastic container. Furthermore, these labels are temperature stable and humidity resistant, which makes them suitable for storing frozen products too.
Study Objectives
