Highlighting the growth potential of the segment Arun Prints specialises in, Arunkumar Kannan quotes a Global Heat Transfer Labels Market Report by Shingetsu Research, which states that the global heat transfer labels market is likely to reach USD 1.54 billion by the end of 2027 by registering a CAGR of 4.14% during the forecast period, 2020-2027. It is attributed to the surge in digital printing technology for manufacturers to incorporate unique inks to secure the print on their product and the growth of various end-use industries to offer a positive outlook for the global heat transfer labels market.
As per the report, Asia Pacific dominated the global heat transfer labels market with the largest market share, 34.20%, in 2019 and likely to generate the highest revenue, USD 0.54 billion by 2027. Due to the growing trend for shopping online, increased related warehousing operations, and surge in digital label print technology with heat transfer application processes provides an alternative solution to customary decoration processes, all of which augurs well for Arun Prints going ahead.
Affirming that “Customer satisfaction is the primary goal of our business,” Arunkumar Kannan, points out, “We know the changing trends in garment packaging and work efficiently to fulfil our customer’s needs. We are able to tap the potential of the latest trends with unmatched experience in the field. We have a huge capacity to manufacture our products, as all of our production is done in-house.
