• Asia Pacific is the fastest growing market. Rise in transportation and automotive sectors has driven the market growth. Increased consumption in India and China due to rising populations has led to increasing demand for goods, which in turn has boosted the industrial labels market. The advent of online shopping has resulted into vast increase in both cross border and domestic trade. India is slated to have 175 million online shoppers by 2020, which is a result of price wars between e-commerce giants Flipkart, Amazon, and others.
• North America and Europe posted strong sales in automobile sector which resulted in burgeoning growth in the industrial labels market. An estimated 17.55 million vehicles were sold in the US in 2016, with pickups and SUV’s the favored vehicles, due to low gasoline prices. This trend is expected to reverse as governments impose tough emission legislation. Three major automakers Ford, G.M, and Chrysler are the largest consumers of industrial labels.
• Latin American industrial label market is projected to grow due to flourishing transportation and automobile industries. Increased consumption and shift to personal transportation are a result of higher disposable income. Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico are major markets in the forecast period.
