According to the Retailers Association of India, sales of home appliances and electronics goods surged up by 23.5% at the end of the third quarter of FY21 compared to the same period in FY20. In-mold labels offer significant benefits to manufacturers due to their unique attributes such as product optimization and cost-effectiveness without affecting the product packaging. As the label becomes an integral part of the product, it provides exclusive solutions for product manufacturers to entice consumers and maintain brand identity.
In addition, factors including weather resistance, high resilience, and UV resistance properties for outdoor durable goods will stimulate the need for high-performance in-mold labels to reduce the loss of color quality in harsh weather conditions. Furthermore, the rising trend of decorative molded parts for automotive and consumer electronics is likely to propel the in-mold labels market share over the projected timeframe.
Easy availability of substitute labelling products is likely to restrain the business growth in the near future. Moreover, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the industry size due to the economic downturn, low labor force, and supply chain disruptions across the globe. However, the lifting of government restrictions and quick recovery of the manufacturing sector will revive the in-mold labels market trends in the coming years.
