In recent years, this market has undergone a major re-alignment, moving into several new markets, while at the same time facing increasing pressure at commodity level from screen media. The AWA Pressure-sensitive Graphic Films Market 2016 study evaluates in detail the present market status and presents an expert assessment of the future for the various segments as a result of extensive research.
 
Changing emphasis
All the aspects of print and graphics, the use of pressure-sensitive films for short-term promotional jobs and longer-life vehicle and architectural graphics, as well as road traffic and safety signage, has been modulated by the effects of the digital revolution. As a result, there has been a change in the market profile.
 
AWA’s new study shows how sign maker and graphic converters are using their expertise to enter new and lucrative segments such as interior decor; and how film coaters and laminators are supporting this change with new substrates to meet the needs of fashion segments as vehicle wrapping.
