The hazardous label industry is poised for significant growth in the coming years. Hazard class labels are designed to meet regulatory requirements, providing specific labels for each type of hazard. These labels help shippers and recipients identify potential risks while ensuring compliance with packaging standards and safe transport. It’s the shipper’s responsibility to select the right labels for shipments, as incorrect labeling can result in costly delays, fines, and accidents.
Regardless of language, these labels communicate the risks of chemicals globally and must be clearly visible on the package throughout transit. Labels are legally required on the outside of packages and must remain intact during transportation.
The growth of the hazardous label market is expected to be driven by increased global trade, industrialization, and stricter regulatory standards like those set by GHS, OSHA, and regional transportation authorities. Additionally, rising awareness of workplace safety and the environmental impact of hazardous substances is also contributing to market growth.
Technological advancements, such as the integration of RFID and QR codes for better traceability, as well as the shift towards eco-friendly label materials, are also fueling market expansion. The growth of the chemical and logistics sectors is another contributing factor.
Key Trends and Findings:
A major trend in the hazardous label market is the focus on best practices for both shippers and carriers to improve safety and compliance. To minimize risks and errors, stakeholders are prioritizing accurate documentation and communication throughout the supply chain. Companies are investing in standardized labeling solutions, training, and advanced documentation technologies to enhance transparency and collaboration between shippers and carriers.
Another trend is the global push for harmonizing hazardous classification and labeling systems. The aim is to improve the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for chemical classification and labeling, standardizing chemical categorization based on physical and environmental risks.
Transparency is increasingly important to consumers, with 70% prioritizing the social, environmental, health, and safety aspects of a product over the manufacturer itself. Labels play a key role in this transparency by providing clear, detailed information. The use of 2D/3D barcodes and digital printing is enhancing this transparency, offering consumers deeper insights into products.
The rise of digital printing is also allowing for more customization in labeling, enabling companies to adapt labels based on industry changes or specific consumer needs.
Regional Insights:
North America accounted for 35.86% of the market share in 2023, driven by stringent regulations like OSHA and DOT, high workplace safety awareness, and widespread industrialization.
Asia-Pacific is expected to experience the fastest growth at a CAGR of 5.94% due to rapid industrialization, the globalization of supply chains, and growing regulatory awareness in emerging economies such as China and India.
Recent Developments:
In February 2024, Reliance Label Solutions launched a new initiative aimed at helping organizations streamline their chemical labeling processes. Their GHS L.A.B.E.L. Profile service offers a free, confidential technical inspection to ensure businesses comply with best practices for hazardous chemical labeling.
In August 2023, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare (MHLW) announced changes to the Ordinance on Prevention of Hazards Due to Specified Chemical Substances. These modifications require all hazardous chemicals classified by GHS to have proper labels and safety data sheets (SDSs), affecting over 2,000 chemicals.
