Thus, revisiting the factors mentioned above, when it comes to minimizing of overall operational cost linerless labels addresses this address this need by enabling market players to purchase more quantity of labels because linerless allows for more labels to be available in rolls as compared to its non-linerless counterparts concomitantly resulting in the reduction of freight cost due to the considerable reduction in weight. Secondly, when it comes to the paper packaging market, its growth is suggestive of the positive outlook of Linerless Labels Market because one of the main rationales which are anticipated to drive the growth of the former is also in part a contributory cause of the latter’s growth which is the adoption of the environmentally friendly solutions. Since linerless labels are devoid of liners it reduces the creation of waste invariably making it an environment-friendly alternative which is also expected to cater to the ambitions of various market players to transform their operations into an eco-friendly one. Further, this environmentally friendly aspect is also complementary to the growth of the global luxury packaging market and is potentially symbiotic because consumers of luxury products are increasingly embracing the concept of responsible luxury which as mentioned above, is echoed by the inclusion of linerless labels. Another aspect which is reflective of the growth of this market is the forecasted upward trajectory of the fresh food packaging market and seafood packaging market, that has been mentioned above which suggests that food and beverage, among others, is poised to occupy a lion’s share in the linerless labels market which in turn would aid in propelling the growth of the market. This buttressed by another advantage extended by the release coating which is an integral component of linerless labels is that its acts as a barrier coating that keeps the labels from being affected by chemicals and other elements thereby extending their life thereby facilitating the dissemination of information pertaining to food and beverage which is mandated by several national governments, among others.

Another aspect which is concerned with trade, is the heavy reliance on imports of food products by Japan to cater to the domestic demand which is substantiated by Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) annual report wherein Japan’s food self-sufficiency ratio, on a caloric basis was 38% as of 2017 which is suggestive of the fact that more than 60 % of Japan’s caloric intake is derived from imports.
