The label printer market size is projected to reach US$ 9.71 billion by 2031 from US$ 5.93 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.4% in 2023–2031. Increasing demand for label printers from the pharmaceutical sector and growth in the packaging industry are likely to remain key label printer market trends.
Numerous industries, including supply chain management, retail price marking, packaging labels, and others, use label printers. The information or symbols about the product or item that are helpful to both the seller and the customer are printed using label printers. Demand for desktop and mobile/portable printers is expected to soar during the forecast period due to the manufacturing industry's ongoing need for simple, convenient label printing tools. In addition, the growth in the retail industry further fosters the demand for label printers.
A label printer is a type of computer printer that can print on cardstock (tags) or self-adhesive label material. Label makers are label printers that come with an integrated keyboard and display for standalone operation (i.e., not connected to a separate computer). Because they require specialized feed mechanisms to handle rolled stock or tear sheet (fanfold) stock, label printers differ from regular printers. A variety of label materials, such as paper and synthetic polymer (plastic) materials, are used by label printers.
Across the globe, the rise in disposable income and the purchasing power of consumers are increasing, leading to the buying of various retail products. In addition, the population growth also results in the demand for retail products. Thus, the growth in the retail sector and e-commerce industry generates the demand for equipment and machinery such as label printers, which fasten the operations in these industries to meet the customer's demand on time. Printers, such as price label printers and barcode printers, guarantee that goods are appropriately tracked, priced, and displayed to consumers. As the information on the label helps retailers manage their inventory and store products efficiently, the demand for label printers is gaining traction in the retail industry.
Nowadays, with the digital landscape always changing, companies in all sectors are always looking for new and creative ways to improve their operations and obtain a competitive advantage. Label printing is just one of the many areas of business operations that artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to completely transform. Businesses can use AI to automate the design process and produce beautiful labels by utilizing sophisticated algorithms. Large volumes of data, such as design elements, industry trends, and consumer preferences, can be analyzed by AI algorithms to create customized label designs for particular brands or products. Businesses can guarantee that their labels fulfill the highest standards of accuracy and aesthetic appeal by implementing AI-powered quality control systems. This factor will ultimately improve customer satisfaction and brand reputation. Such benefits of AI in label printing will generate the demand for advanced printers and will create lucrative growth opportunities for the label printer market.
