Key Market Insights:

Dominance of Injection Molding: Injection molding holds a significant share of the IML industry, commanding 70% of the market. This segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.0% throughout the forecast period.

Material Preference: Polypropylene is widely used in the manufacturing of in-mold labels, anticipated to generate revenue worth USD 1,185.9 million by 2034.

Printing Techniques: Offset printing leads the market in the IML sector, projected to create an incremental opportunity of USD 190.7 million during the assessment period. Digital printing, however, is emerging as a popular choice due to its suitability for low-volume label printing and the capability of variable data printing.

Sectoral Demand: The food industry remains a prominent consumer of in-mold labels, capturing half of the value share. This segment is set to expand by 1.3 times its current market value by 2034, creating an incremental opportunity of USD 404.7 million

"Surging demand for product identification labels and attractive packaging is estimated to drive the demand for in-mold labels over the forecast period," says an analyst at FMI.

Growth Drivers:

Visually Appealing Packaging: The growing demand for visually appealing packaging is significantly contributing to the growth of in-mold labels. The "no-label" look and multi-colored prints on consumer products make IML an attractive branding tool for businesses

Digitalization in Label Printing: The rise of digitalization in the label printing process allows for faster product turnaround rates, shorter print runs, and better flexibility in label design. This trend is driving market growth as businesses seek to optimize their label printing processes and improve efficiency.

Digital Printing: Digital printing for in-mold labels is being widely accepted by label printing companies. While offset printing holds a significant share due to its low cost for high-volume labels, digital printing is most suitable for small-volume label printers, providing economic printing even for very low volumes.

The in-mold label industry analysis highlights significant growth prospects across various global regions. In North America, the United States is poised to dominate with an 87.6% market share by 2034, emphasizing robust demand.
