The global linerless labels market size is expected to reach USD 3,090.81 million by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Linerless Labels Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Product Type (Water-Based, Solvent-Based, Hot Melt-Based, UV Curable and Others); By Printing technology; By Adhesion; By End-use; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2023-2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The main factor driving the market expansion is the introduction of linerless labels with novel adhesives and release coatings for specialized applications. For instance, in February 2022, The Linerfree series of linerless label applicators was introduced by Collamat. There are belt and tamp-on versions of the Linerfree applicators. Compared to conventional label applicators, these linerless ones have several operational advantages, including no liner waste and consequently no material waste, a 50–70% reduction in labeling stock, a decrease in the number of label roll loadings, the ability to change label size on-the-fly, and a 50% decrease in label shipping charges. Due to the criticism of backing liners, linerless labels have proven to be a desirable alternative to traditional pressure-sensitive labels.

Moreover, the early versions of these labels could not use powerful adhesives to prevent adhering. To address this issue, market participants invest in creating labels with specialized adhesives and release coatings. In July 2022, Henkel Adhesive Technologies agreed to invest in a new packaging fund that Emerald has established. In its packaging industries, Henkel consistently introduces new products that lower emissions, enabling circular alternatives through compliance with recycling, debonding, innovative development, sustainable raw materials, and enhancing product safety, for instance, in the food and beverages industry.

Liner-free labels for specialized uses, including frozen foods, microwaveable goods, and pharmaceutical packaging, are now possible owing to ongoing research. Furthermore, the invention of such adhesives and release coating combinations has given repositionable labels a considerable boost because they can be reused. These investments, as well as launches of linerless labels, are boosting the market growth.

Additionally, the market expansion is profitable given the rising number of linerless label developments and the growing acceptance of sophisticated linerless labels in emerging markets and the flexible packaging sector. The market has experienced several innovations and improvements in goods, tools, equipment, and new printing methods (such as digital, laser, and color printing). The use of environmentally friendly materials is among the biggest trends in the industry.

Linerless Labels Market Report Highlights

The permanent label segment is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period because of the high demand for these liner-free labels from the transportation and retail industries.

The digital printing segment accounted for largest revenue share. Digital printing is the process of directly printing images created using digital technology

The solvent-based segment accounted for the highest share over the forecast period. Solvent-based inks have a solid component that is made up of pigment and resin, which is then diluted with a solvent.

Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at a significant CAGR over the projected period due to the region's fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) producers are attempting to strengthen their market share

The global players includes 3M Company, Avery Dennison Corporation, Coveris, NAStar Inc., Optimum Group, Proprint Group, Reflex Labels, Ravenwood Packaging, SATO Europe, Tereoka Seiko, and Weber Packaging
