According to the report, key trends for different la- bels include: Pressure-sensitive labels will further increase their market share as government regulations on tracking and barcoding requirements for medical and pharma- ceutical products are implemented. Wet-glue labels, despite losing market share,will see high growth in certain product niches in segments, such as the beer industry in Asia. Multi-part tracking labels market position is be- ing eroded by newer electronic tracking solutions increasingly favored by the logistics industry, such as RFID technology. In-mold labels have a small share of the label print- ing market, but demand is holding steady owing to a growing perception of their eco-friendliness. Shrink labels make up the largest share of the global sleeve market at 90 percent of global volume and are expanding into new areas, including the labelling of beverage cans.
