The global label industry looking up for the future
Posted on November 23rd, 2009
Here are some interesting facts about the label industry in North America.
- NA label market is projected to increase to 11 billion dollars by 2013 (bigger than Western Europe and Japan)
- The food market is the biggest contributor to label market, but this expects to change hands to the pharmaceutical market by 2013.
- The US is the biggest producer and consumer of labels.
- Canada consumed 775 million square meters of labels in 2008.
Interestingly enough the reason that the pharmaceutical will end up being the largest player in the label industry is due to all the new and changing regulations that are expected to take effect in the coming years requiring more detailed and extensive material be placed on these labels.
With the changes will also come the need for proper label inspection and packaging inspection tools. Automated inspection solutions will be come more and more important in quality control, regulatory and design departments.
There is more information available in a great article called North America: The World’s Label Powerhouse in the Sept. issue of Flexography Magazine.
