About Avery Dennison Corporation
About Avery Dennison Corporation
Avery Dennison split its 2025 net sales between the Materials Group (69% of total) and Solutions Group (31%), operating over 200 manufacturing and distribution facilities across more than 50 countries and employing roughly 35,000 people at year-end. International operations represented 69% of net sales, with approximately 40% from emerging markets in Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. In 2025, the company acquired Taylor Adhesives for approximately $390 million, adding a Georgia-based flooring adhesives business.
The Materials Group generates revenue by manufacturing Fasson, JAC, and Avery Dennison-branded pressure-sensitive materials sold through converter channels to food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and logistics packagers, along with graphics, reflective films, and performance tapes for automotive, electronics, and construction customers. Input costs — paper, plastic films, resins, and specialty chemicals — have historically been volatile, with the company implementing targeted price increases during inflationary periods and passing through deflation-related reductions when input costs declined. The Solutions Group sells RFID inlays and tags, external embellishments, Vestcom-brand shelf-edge solutions, and brand protection services to apparel, food, and logistics customers. Tariff-related uncertainty caused apparel category sales to decline within Solutions Group in 2025, with the company estimating that indirect tariff effects reduced overall apparel category sales by a low single digit rate across the second, third, and fourth quarters. Competitors in label materials include UPM Adhesive Materials, Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives, and Lintec Corporation; 3M competes in graphics, reflective products, and performance tapes.
Show full overview
The most concrete near-term demand signal disclosed for 2025 is the low single digit rate decline in apparel category sales from indirect tariff effects. This risk runs in both directions: direct input cost inflation if tariffs affect imported raw materials, and demand softness if customers reduce order volumes. A February 2026 U.S. Supreme Court decision held that IEEPA does not authorize tariff imposition, which may reduce some specific duties but is likely to produce a period of trade policy instability affecting the company's international supply chains and customer demand across apparel and logistics end markets.
