This
report is a comprehensive update of the existing
multi-client report published by Labels &
Labelling Consultancy in April 2001. In 2004,
there was a major EU enlargement - ten new countries
joining the EU (eight of which are located in
Central / Eastern Europe - Czech Republic, Estonia,
Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia,
Slovenia). This is having a major impact on
many aspects of business and life in general
across the EU, not least in retailing, distribution
logistics / supply chains and also product related
crime (eg: counterfeiting). All of these changes
are highly significant for labels in particular
and packaging in general. The market for self-adhesive
labels in Central / Eastern Europe rose to around
380 million sq. metres p.a in 2002 and continues
to grow at over 20% annually (with growth of
all types of label running at some 8% annually).
The enlarged EU is bringing a period of strong
sustainable growth to the European Label market.
There are now outstanding business opportunities
in the region and many companies are wisely
already gearing up - 2,500 Eastern European
printers and converters attended Labelexpo 2003
(up from around 300 at the previous event).
