Price Volatility and Environmental Concerns May Create Disturbance

While the future of the worldwide market for stretch sleeve and heat shrink labels looks bright, it may face several challenges along the way, such as the volatility in the raw material prices and environmental concerns pertaining to the disposal and recycling of these labels due to their no-biodegradable characteristics. Furthermore, the increasing popularity of alternatives, such as paper, which is relatively lighter in weight and biodegradable too, may also hinder the growth of this market over the next few years.

Nevertheless, the growing trend of online shopping is projected to bring in new growth opportunities for this market in the near future, thanks to a considerable upswing in the preference for light weight packaging among logistic companies and consumers, reports the market study.
