The rapid growth of supermarkets (by both local and international chains) in Africa is providing plenty of opportunities for the label and package printing industry. This is aided by legislation aimed at improving standards, for example on environmental packaging.

In South Africa in particular, the market is showing strong growth, with most competition taking place in the pressure-sensitive and sleeve segments. South Africa shows a higher market share of sleeve labels – 14% here versus nine percent in the rest of the world.
