Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
- The market is predicted to grow significantly due to increased demand for brand protection solutions for pharmaceutical products.
- Growing concerns about product authenticity and safety, government laws against counterfeit packaging, and increased demand for high-quality packaging all contribute to global market growth.
- North America dominated the market and accounted for a revenue share of global revenue in 2023.
- One of the significant concerns restraining industry growth is the absence of global standards for anti-counterfeit technologies and practices.
Anti-counterfeit packaging is the process of giving the goods secure packaging to reduce theft or counterfeiting. Anti-counterfeiting packaging is the practice of safe packaging that ensures product safety and thwarts imitation. Companies use anti-counterfeit measures, which aid them in minimizing loss from counterfeiting in terms of income and customer loyalty.
The economic harm to the business and the health hazards to consumers are the two main elements encouraging the adoption of anti-counterfeit packaging. In 2012, losses at pharmaceutical businesses were estimated to be $514 billion. The main cause of this loss of revenue is drug counterfeiting for over-the-counter use. Thus, cutting-edge technologies for product tracking would reduce economic harm and further encourage anti-counterfeit packaging market growth. Additionally, favorable government rules for food and pharmaceutical packaging, which are a major driving force in this industry, encourage anti-counterfeit solutions.
However, the anti-counterfeit packaging market expansion is hindered by consumers' lack of knowledge regarding the need to authenticate food and pharmaceutical items. An additional obstacle to the market's expansion is the growing impact on the process of product distribution, the rising expense of infrastructure, and the growing lack of knowledge, which together represent the main reasons limiting anti-counterfeit packaging market growth.
