Market Drivers & Growth Opportunities

Retailers are investing in vibrant POP installations that engage senses and prolong dwell time. Research indicates up to 70 % of purchase decisions occur at shelf-level, prompting brands to optimize POP impact.

2. Sustainability Mandates

Consumer demand and regulations are forcing adoption of recyclable, biodegradable, and FSC-certified POP solutions. Eco-friendly substrates like corrugated board now dominate the market.

3. Omnichannel & Smart Integration

QR codes, NFC tags, AR overlays, and touchscreens in POP displays bridge online and offline shopping, enhance engagement, and offer data capture tools.

4. Rapid-Cycle Campaigns

Seasonal launches and limited-edition releases require fast, modular POP systems for quick assembly, updates, and recycling.

5. Labor Optimization

Ready-to-use, preassembled POP reduces shelf-stocking labor and operational costs — especially vital for convenience stores and pop-up retailers.
