German thermal paper market is likely to augment over the estimated timeframe owing to a rise in the demand for thermal paper from the retail, automotive, and transportation industries. Moreover, tags & label applications are anticipated to contribute significantly to the growth on account of increasing billing applications in the retail, transportation, and hospitality industries.

The presence of prominent automotive and chemical manufacturers including BMW, Volkswagen, Daimler, BASF, Bayer, and Henkel in the country is anticipated to promote the use of labels and tags. In 2013, the European Commission introduced “Guideline on the packaging information of medicinal products for human use authorized by the union”.

This regulation is anticipated to force Germany-based healthcare companies to increase their expenditure for the incorporation of good-quality labels & tags in drugs and vaccines. However, declining retail sales from PoS terminals in Germany on account of rising transactions through online media such as smartphones are expected to have a negative impact on the thermal paper market.
