The Global Smart Labels Market was valued at $9 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $39.2 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 15.8% from 2022 to 2031.
Smart labels are tags that can be printed or attached onto the packaging material to provide useful information about the product. In addition, smart labels make use of printed paper, plastic, or fabric labels upgraded with special intelligent inlay technology that can digitally capture and communicate more information than is printed on the physical label.
The smart labels has gained traction in the packaging industry, owing to growth in the demand for product information through smart devices. These labels act as an innovative transparent label associated with digital technology and smart devices that enable consumers to access detailed information about their products. The growth in the global smart labels industry is expected to enable consumers to gain enhanced information visibility on the purchased products. Increase in demand for effective anti-theft devices, owing to security concern of the enterprises contribute to the significant rise in the demand for the smart labels market.
The Smart labels market has witnessed an increase in adoption in the packaging industry, owing to the ability to provide detailed information to the customers about products with the use of digital technology and smart devices. In addition, the increase in demand for smart labels market is driven by its ability to provide real-time visibility of the product and rise in demand for effective anti-theft devices, owing to security concerns. Moreover, significant rise in consolidated industries and technological advancements associated with the use in various applications, such as healthcare, & pharmaceuticals, logistics, retail inventory, food & beverages, and others, have further boosted the growth of the market. Thus, the features of smart labels including real-time location tracing, re-programmability, and simultaneous identification & detailed information are expected to fuel the demand for the smart labels in various sectors during the forecast period. However, lack of uniformity in standardized guidelines for smart labels is one of the major challenges restraining the market growth and affecting the global smart labels market size.
In addition, during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, construction, manufacturing, hotel, and tourism industries were majorly affected. Manufacturing activities were halted or restricted. This led to a decline in manufacturing of various equipment as well as their demand in the market, thereby restraining the growth of the market. Conversely, industries are gradually resuming their regular manufacturing and services. This is expected to lead to re-initiation of dust control systems companies at their full-scale capacities, that helped the smart labels market to recover by end of 2021.
The RFID labels segment generated the maximum revenue in the Smart labels market, owing to its extensive applications in industries for automatic data capturing, information accuracy, and real-time tracking. Asia-Pacific is expected to exhibit the highest growth in the global smart labels market, owing to the rise in potential start-ups, growth in disposable income, increase in urbanization & industrialization, and surge in retail and health & pharmaceutical industries.
The RFID smart labels market share is expected to witness notable growth during the forecast period, owing to a rise in market competitiveness leading to the availability of cost-effective RFID solutions globally. Furthermore, rise in installation of RFID solutions across healthcare and manufacturing sectors drives the growth of the this market during the forecast period. In addition, the surge in regulations and government initiatives for various industries is expected to propel the smart labels market growth.
However, high cost associated with the installation, purchase, and maintenance of RFID coupled with concerns regarding data security and privacy is expected to restrain the market growth. In addition, rise in adoption of RFID tags for industry 4.0, Internet of Things, and smart manufacturing solutions is expected to provide lucrative opportunity for growth of the smart labels market.

In addition, electronic shelf label (ESL) also known as digital price tags, are digital wireless display systems that retail stores use to show product prices. Typically, ESLs are attached to the front edge of retail shelving. Once applied to the shelves, it directly connects to the store's ERP and point of sales (POS) to reduce pricing management labor costs, improve pricing accuracy, and enable dynamic pricing. Furthermore, each electronic shelf label (ESL) system has LCD or e-ink display that shows the price and universal product code (UPC) of the product. Trending automation in the retail industry is the key factor that drives growth of the electronic shelf label market. Moreover, necessity for more cost-efficient and less time-consuming alternatives to paper labels fuel the market growth. In addition, increased operational efficiency with real-time product positioning, owing to utilization of electronic shelf labels boosts the growth of electronic shelf label market size. However, high expenses of installation and infrastructure cost restrain the electronic shelf label market growth. Moreover, low return on investment is expected to impede growth of the smart labels market.
