The global in-mold label market is estimated to be valued at USD 5.03 Bn in 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3% from 2025 to 2032. The global in-mold label market has witnessed substantial growth in the past few years owing to the increasing demand for in-mold label from end-use industries such as food, beverages, pharmaceutical, personal care, and automotive. In-mold labels are labels that are molded onto plastic bottles or containers during the blow-molding or injection-molding process. These labels become a permanent part of the package and provide various advantages compared to pressure-sensitive labels such as durability, resistance to moisture, chemicals, abrasion, and improved aesthetics. Rise in the consumption of packaged food and beverages along with growing environmental concerns favoring sustainable labeling solutions is primarily driving the demand for in-mold labels globally.
Market Dynamics:
Rising consumption of packaged consumer goods along with growing environmental awareness are some of the key factors driving the growth of the global in-mold label market. Increasing preferences for durable and sustainable labeling solutions compared to traditional pressure-sensitive labels is further augmenting the demand for in-mold labels. However, high tooling and design costs associated with in-mold label technology and availability of substitutes are restraining the growth of the market. On the other hand, growing emphasis on sustainable and recyclable packaging presents significant growth opportunities for players operating in the global in-mold label market during the forecast period.
