From a more global perspective, Reardon states that AWA research projects growth in developed geographic regions like North America and Western Europe for mature labeling technologies, such as pressure sensitive and glue-applied, to not exceed GDP growth overall. There will be higher growth application areas, but overall growth will be dictated by GDP growth. In developing or emerging geographic markets, AWA expects continued growth at higher GDP levels or greater.
