Great news for UK Labelling & Packaging! The sector is bucking the trend in the UK Labelling & Packaging industry. The sector is faring much better than the overall UK printing industry which is predicted to decline by 0.1% per annum to £23.2bn by 2020 due to virtual and online media reducing the demand for printed products. Publication printing segments (newspapers, magazines, books, directories and catalogues) are declining significantly, steadily being replaced by ‘new media’– eBooks, online, electronic and social media. The UK Printing industry was the world’s fifth largest producer of printed products in 2017, but turnover declined to £13.8bn turnover in 2017 (down from £14.3bn turnover in 2010), with8400 companies (down from 10,500 in 2010) and 116,000 employees (from 140,000 in 2010).
In contrast, continued growth is predicted for the UK Labelling & Packaging sector; from 2013-2018 the UK Labelling & Packaging sector experienced an annual growth rate of 2.5 %. The sector is set to continue to grow by 2.2% per annum through to 2020. At the start of 2018 turnover for the sector was £5bn with 22,454 employees.
