A latest revised report by Fact.MR on the global thermal transfer labels industry dives deep into the trends, restraints, and opportunities for market players across regions. The report also provides detailed insights on the COVID-19 impact on the market. Additionally, this report presents a comprehensive analysis of the government policies on the market along with the key factors driving the growth of the thermal transfer labels market over forecast period 2021 to 2031.
Historical Trends Vs. Future Market Projections
Sales of thermal transfer labels experienced a growth rate at a CAGR 2.8% from2016 to 2020. Growth of the e-Commerce industry is one of the prominent reasons maintaining steady market growth. The market is estimated to rise at a CAGR of more than 5% over the forecast period of 2021 to 2031.
COVID-19 impacted the market to a large extent where industries consuming the product were under force majeure. This restricted the overall trade of the product across regions. Despite, COVID contracting market, thermal transfer labels have seen a major uptake since Q4 FY2020.
Innovation in thermal transfer label manufacturing procedures such as using RFID technology, increase e-Commerce physical stores and warehouses, and increased demand for multi-language labels to facilitate transportation to other countries are factors augmenting market expansion.
How are Government Policies Affecting Sales of Thermal Transfer Labels?
There are some government policies such as anti-dumping duties and reducing use of plastic, resin, and other polymer that affect this industry. Resin and polyester are used as raw materials while manufacturing thermal transfer labels. To develop local resin manufacturing industries, governments are imposing anti-dumping duties on other countries. For example, in 2019, India imposed anti-dumping duties on China, which is set to negatively affect the prices of thermal transfer labels. Prices of raw material are set to cascade the effect to the prices of the product as well.
For environmental safety, governments are releasing many polices to reduce the use of plastic, carbon compounds, and other polymers. Plastic and polymers cannot easily decompose and affect the surrounding environment. As such, related polices will, to some extent, directly affect the sale of thermal transfer labels over the coming years.
