The global electronic shelf label market size was estimated at USD 1,485.10 million in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.8% from 2024 to 2030. Electronic shelf labels (ESLs) are digital display systems that help retailers manage and update product pricing, information, and promotions in real-time. The growing adoption of digital technology in the retail industry to replace traditional paper labels on store shelves is expected to contribute to market growth. Automation is a growing trend in the U.S. retail sector. Retailers are focusing on improving overall customer experience & operational efficiency and streamlining inventory management. In March 2021, Walmart implemented a full automation solution to its Fulfillment Centers (FCs) and Distribution Centers (DCs) in Walmart DC in Cleburne, Texas.

In April 2023, Walmart announced its plan to make 65% of its stores to be fully automated by the end of 2026. In line with this development in May 2023, Walmart announced plans to adopt ESLs for its 500 stores within the next 18 months, which can support the market growth. According to a research paper released by the United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General in April 2023, the supply of paper products has fluctuated greatly. According to data provided by the Pulp and Paper Products Council (PPPC), North American printing and writing mills ran at 77% capacity in August 2023 compared to the same in 2022. Paper mills' reduction of production capacity resulted in increased prices of paper, which affected its derivate product supply.
