The labels segment is estimated to be the largest application segment of the global release coatings market

Among various applications, the labels segment is estimated to be the largest application segment of the global release coatings market. Release coatings offer various advantages in both primary and secondary label markets. High tensile and tear strength properties minimize web breaks during high-speed applications. Release film liners offer clarity, tight caliper control, gloss surface, and stiffness for different types of labels, such as VIP and business labels, functional and security labels, and printer and copier labels.

The silicone segment is projected to be the fastest-growing material segment of the global release coatings market

The silicone segment is projected to be the fastest-growing material segment of the market between 2016 and 2021. Silicone-based release coatings are used in several consumer and industrial applications, such as postage stamps, envelopes, and bar code labels. Silicone, as additives, helps provide resistance to slip, moisture, and abrasion; improved adhesion; anti-blocking properties; gloss; and foam control; among several other benefits. These benefits enhance the popularity of silicone materials. The inexpensive nature of silicone-based release coatings is a major factor driving the growth of this segment in the global release coatings market.

Rising demand for release coatings in Asia-Pacific contributes to the high growth of this market
