AWA Release Liner Market Report 2025
Following a period marked by disruption and atypical demand cycles, the global release liner market has entered a new phase of measured recovery. The report comprehensively analyzes market developments over the past year and future projections through 2027.
2023 was notably impacted by sharp declines across key application areas, most significantly within the label market, which accounts for nearly half of global release liner usage. Europe was the most heavily affected region, registering a year-on-year contraction of 11.1%. In contrast, 2024 saw signs of stabilization, particularly in European labelstock demand. Despite this, broader recovery was uneven due to persistent macroeconomic headwinds, including sluggish global growth, supply chain constraints, and reduced consumer spending.
Nevertheless, AWA research indicates that the global release liner market expanded by 4.8% in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4% between 2024 and 2027.
