The global print label market size is estimated to increase by USD 11.29 billion from 2022 to 2027. The market's growth momentum will progress at a CAGR of 4.58%. The growing demand from the organized retail sector is driving market growth. The emergence of supermarkets and hypermarkets has boosted the growth of the global market.

Retail sales in China have grown over the past few years. This trend is projected to continue during the forecast period owing to the increase in demand for organized retail due to government policies. With the rise in competition between different consumer brands, the importance of printed labels has increased to attract customers.

Organized retail stores use advanced technologies that require tag identifiers, which further increases the demand for printed labels.
