The global label color printing market is expected to grow from USD 3.41 billion in 2021 to USD 5.34 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.12% during the forecast period 2022-2030, as per the report published by The Brainy Insights.

The FMCG sector uses label color printing to provide consumers with information on the items' manufacturing information, expiration date, caloric value, nutritional value, brand name, and price, among other things. Similarly, it is employed in the pharmaceutical sector to show consumers sensitive drugs/information, their components, and other crucial data. Label color printing is also used in the packaging, retail, cosmetics, and personal care markets. Label color printing is a distinctive marketing tactic that aids in making a company stand out from rivals to boost sales. Market participants across industries are required by government legislation to label their products with the appropriate information to protect the interests of consumers. Therefore, the expansion of the label color printing market will be driven by an increase in demand for label color printing from market players in the FMCG, retail, packaging, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries. There has been a growth in demand for packaged food and beverages in developing economies. The increasing demand can be attributed to the advent of urbanization and the increase in disposable income. Additionally, the e-commerce boom and rising internet usage have generated a demand for packaging materials that ultimately fuel the expansion of the packaging business. Additionally, the personal care products and cosmetics market is expanding, which is good news for the label color printing industry. The market for label color printing will expand as retail chains spread more widely throughout developing countries. The high cost of installation of label color printing will hamper the market's growth. The increasing adoption of alternative labeling options such as RFID will challenge the development of the label color printing market
