The forecast for Germany's sold production of printed labels made of paper or paperboard shows a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, with volumes moving from 26.84 million kilograms in 2024 to 19.389 million kilograms in 2028. Assuming the value for 2023 was similar to 2024, this indicates a notable decrease.
Year-on-year analysis: expect a 7.1% fall in 2025, a 7.56% decrease in 2026, a 7.99% reduction in 2027, and an 8.52% drop in 2028. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a persistent downward path.
Future trends to watch for:
- Increasing digitization impacting demand for physical labels.
- Environmental regulations pushing for sustainable alternatives.
- Evolving consumer preferences and innovations in packaging design.
