The expansion of the e-commerce industry is anticipated to drive the growth of the laminated labels market in the coming years. The e-commerce industry involves the online buying and selling of goods and services through the internet, offering businesses broad opportunities to reach customers and increase sales while providing consumers with a convenient way to shop for products and services digitally. Laminated labels are widely used in the e-commerce sector for applications such as displaying product information, shipping and packing labels, and barcodes for identification and tracking purposes. For instance, in August 2025, according to the Census Bureau, a US-based principal government agency, estimated e-commerce sales in the second quarter of 2025 increased by 5.3% (±1.2%) compared with the second quarter of 2024, while total retail sales rose by 3.8% (±0.4%) during the same period. Therefore, the growth of the e-commerce industry is driving the expansion of the laminated labels market.

The expansion of the packaging industry is also expected to support the growth of the laminated labels market in the coming years. The packaging industry encompasses the design, production, and supply of materials and solutions used to protect, contain, and promote products during storage, transportation, and sale. Growth in the packaging industry is being driven by the rise of e-commerce, which is increasing demand for durable and visually appealing packaging to ensure safe delivery and enhance customer experience. Laminated labels support the packaging industry by improving product protection, durability, and aesthetic appeal, thereby meeting the growing demand for high-quality and resilient packaging solutions. For instance, in November 2025, according to the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), an Australia-based joint industry-government body, the total volume of packaging placed on the market (POM) in Australia during 2023-24 was estimated at 6.84 million tonnes. Therefore, the growth of the packaging industry is expected to fuel the laminated labels market.

Key players operating in the laminated labels market are concentrating on the development of innovative solutions, such as packaging recycling initiatives, to strengthen sustainability, ensure regulatory compliance, and enhance overall environmental responsibility in response to increasing consumer and industry demand for eco-friendly labeling solutions. Packaging recycling involves the collection, sorting, and processing of used packaging materials, including plastic, glass, metal, paper, and cardboard, so they can be reused or converted into new products instead of being discarded as waste. For instance, in September 2025, Avery Dennison, a US-based labeling solutions provider, introduced new labeling solutions focused on advancing recycling, connectivity, and safety at Labelexpo Europe 2025. These innovations include recyclable facestocks, sustainable adhesives, and integrated digital connectivity features that help brands achieve sustainability goals, meet regulatory requirements, and improve consumer engagement. The solutions are applicable across food, beverage, healthcare, and consumer goods packaging, delivering both functional and environmental advantages compared with traditional laminated labels.
