1. Market demand and supply
Small roll thermal label paper is widely used in catering, retail, logistics, medical and other fields, the market demand is large. However, with the intensification of market competition, more and more enterprises enter the field, resulting in a corresponding increase in supply. The change of supply and demand relationship directly affects the market price, when the supply is greater than the demand, the price competition is often more intense.
2. Production costs
Production cost is one of the important factors affecting product price. The production of small roll thermal label paper involves raw material procurement, equipment investment, labor costs and many other aspects. With the development of technology and scale effect, the production cost of some enterprises can be reduced, so as to have a stronger price competitiveness in the market. However, for those enterprises with higher production costs, in order to maintain an advantage in the competition, they have to adopt a price reduction strategy, which also intensifies the price competition in the market.
3. Technological progress and product upgrading
With the continuous progress of technology, the production process and product quality of small roll thermal label paper are also constantly improving. New types of environmentally friendly, high temperature resistant, color and anti-counterfeiting thermal paper continue to emerge to meet the needs of different fields and scenes.

This diversified competitive landscape makes the market more active, but it also intensifies price competition. In order to compete for market share, companies often attract customers through price wars.
5. Fluctuations in raw material prices
The fluctuation of raw material price is also one of the important factors affecting the market price of small roll thermal label paper. The rise in the price of raw materials such as pulp and dyes will directly lead to an increase in production costs, which will push up product prices. However, in the fierce market competition, enterprises are often difficult to fully pass on the cost to consumers, so they have to bear part of the cost pressure. In order to maintain market competitiveness, some enterprises may choose to reduce profit margins or even sell at a loss, which also intensifies the price competition in the market.
In summary, the price competition in the small roll thermal label paper market is relatively high. Enterprises need to pay close attention to changes in market demand, reduce production costs, strengthen technological innovation and product upgrading, and optimize market competition strategies to cope with the fierce market competition environment.
