Growing demand for release liner across an increasingly broad application base has resulted in new and expanded in-depth coverage for AWA Alexander Watson Associates’ newly-published AWA Global Release Market Liner Annual Review 2022.

While the pressure-sensitive labelstock segment continues to be the largest, with a 49% share of the market worldwide – and forecast growth at 3.7% p.a. -- other segments, benefiting from release liner as a carrier for adhesive coatings or other substances, continue to grow, driving the overall growth of the global release liner market to 4.5% in 2021. Faster-growing markets like medical, and electronics, and other application segments such as graphic films, tapes, food and bakery, and envelopes, are all detailed, providing in-depth analysis in over 400 pages of data, information and insights.

The new edition of the AWA Global Release Liner Annual Review 2022 covers all aspects of the market by geographical region and sub-region, substrate, application segments, trends, developments, and growth drivers, including more analysis on silicone usage and more granularity on applications segments, providing analysis and insights into an industry in which AWA has specialized for nearly 50 years.
