IML Market Trends: 2025 Outlook
There is a strong shift toward integrated plastic packaging in the Türkiye and Europe IML market. Use of mono-material BOPP films grows year on year.
The 2025 report from the European Plastic Packaging Manufacturers Association indicates the IML label market is growing at an annual 8.2%, marking the strongest momentum of the past 5 years. The recycling-friendly nature of mono-material BOPP films has become a priority for brand purchasing teams with the EU 2025/2026 Packaging Regulation taking effect.
Market growth in Türkiye is above the global average — IML use in dairy, ice cream and confectionery packaging is rising in particular. Modern offset printing infrastructure on 50–120 µm films builds the capacity to meet this growth demand.
