The automotive industry is made up of a large supply chain of companies that provide various parts and components to manufacturers. According to Mordor Intelligence, the automotive labels market was valued at $7.06 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $9.45 billion by 2025.
Automotive labels carry critical information ranging from operational data to identification, safety and more. Many of the labels used on automobiles must be able to withstand demanding environments where temperature extremes and exposure to brake fluid, engine oil and repeated washing can damage the labels and adhesive.

Useful labels for the automotive industry
While the type of label solution needed depends on the end-use, environment and surface area, our
