The global release liners market size reached US$ 99.3 billion in 2023. The market is projected to reach US$ 171.9 billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.28% during 2023-2032. The escalating demand for pressure-sensitive labels and industrial tape, growing need for effective packaging in various end-use industries, and considerable growth in the e-commerce industry represent some of the key factors driving the market.
A release liner is a piece of thin material that is used to protect adhesive coatings when they are used to facilitate the release of the adhesive. The release liners are typically made from paper, plastic, or films and are coated with a release agent, which helps remove the adhesive from the liner. To use the adhesive product, the release liner is removed, revealing the adhesive coating, which allows the adhesive to be applied to the intended surface. This release liner ensures that the adhesive retains its protective properties until it can be used and easily removed without leaving any residue or damaging the surface. Release liners can come in different sizes, shapes, and levels of adhesion, and can also be customized with printing, embossing, and other features to suit specific requirements. Labels, stickers, tapes, and other adhesive products often require release liners to protect the adhesive until it is used.
