Market Trends of Wet Glue Labelling Machine Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Wet Glue Labelling Machine Market according to our research experts:
Wine and Beer in Beverage Account for Significant Market Share
- Glass is considered to be an effective material for wine and beer packaging, as it provides protection against external chemical, biological, and physical influences. It can also be recycled a number of times without losing its durability or quality. Thus, glass is expected to account for a major proportion of the wine and beer packaging market. This effectively generates more demand for wet glue labelling for the bottle glass section where die-cut labels are mainly used in patch applications for beer bottles.
- Various companies are mostly present, who specifically produce labelling solution for wine and beer with specific glue selection. For instance, Grapelabels specializes in label solutions for the wine, beer. In wet glue labels (WGL), they offer a carefully composed selection of machines in order to provide a complete wet glue package. The device they use for wet glue production (cut and stack) is fully automated.
- Moreover, various companies demand glue that can withstand ice-cold refrigerator temperatures and can hold up when submerged in water at the bottom of an icy cooler. The manufacturers are focusing to produce the glues which can withstand the above factor. For instance, Krones Group, headquartered in Neutraubling, Germany, provides HB Fuller product Swifttak PWL5120 which is a cold glue labeller for a beer bottle. This is an opaque, synthetic polymer-based glue for use on a wide range of rotary labellers that can adhere to cold, wet bottles and offers ice-proof bonds.
- According to U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) and U.S. Commerce Department, in 2018, the U.S. beer industry shipped (sold) 202.2 million barrels of beer. This indicates the high demand for wet glue labelling machine for beer labelling with increasing opportunities.
- Moreover, according to the Beer Institute, the U.S. beer industry sells more than USD 119.3 billion in beer and malt-based beverages to U.S. consumers each year. As the beer market is growing every year the demand for wet glue especially for paper and metallized paper will effectively increase the market of wet glue labelling machine.
Asia-Pacific to Witness Market Growth
- Asia-Pacific is home to the largest population in the world. With increasing consumer awareness regarding packaging, the demand for packaging in the food and beverage industry, and the need for high speed & high-quality labeling solutions is increasing. China & India are expected to witness positive growth in the wet glue labels market owing to rising growth in the industrial and manufacturing sectors.
- With a significant rise in the number of working-class individuals and the increase in disposable incomes of the people in this region, the adoption of premium and high-quality beers in this region is increasing. The increasing consumption of beer and spirit drinks in the region has been a significant factor for the growth of the market. WHO has stated that 92% of the alcohol consumers in India prefer spirits over beer and wine. As the players are moving toward sustainable packaging products, the adoption of glass packaging for alcoholic beverages is growing in the region, which substantially increased the demand for wet glue labelling machines.
- Various Asian firms are locally present who supply their machinery in the rest of the world and it helps in growing the market revenue for the region. For instance, A. H. Industries have more than 1000 machines working in the pharmaceutical industries of India, Bangladesh, Egypt, the Philippines, and Syria. Their wide range of machines such as the wet glue labelling machine is widely used for the labeling process design of pharmaceutical machinery and finds usage in the pharmaceutical industries.
