Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
The increasing demand for innovative packaging solutions from the food processing and pharmaceutical industries, rising consumer concern about decreasing food waste, and rising demand for innovative & functional packaging are the primary factors driving the market's growth. The growing e-commerce sector, greater industrialization, and strong demand for superior supply chain management would offer market participants lucrative opportunities. Additionally, this industry's companies today use labels for part identification and branding, which boosts demand for the market.
However, the high initial costs of manufacture and execution will impede the market's expansion rate. The numerous technologically cutting-edge advancements offered by the top market players create lucrative chances for the industry's expansion. The lack of demand for these innovative solutions among consumers due to a lack of understanding is anticipated to further slow market growth, creating challenges for the industry. Sustainable packaging and increased demand for convenience foods like ready-to-cook meals drive the global market for advanced packaging technologies to rise rapidly. To diversify their product offerings, top manufacturers are placing a strong emphasis on introducing next-generation packaging solutions. Some players also plan to increase their production capacity to meet the rising demand from different industries, which is expected to propel the market growth during the forecast period.
The intelligent packaging market is segmented based on technology, levels of packaging, and end users. Based on technology, the market is segmented as indicators, time-temperature indicators, gas & integrity indicators, freshness indicators, sensors, interactive packaging/data carriers, quick-response (Q.R. codes), barcodes, radio frequency identification (RFIDs), near field communications (NFC's), Bluetooth low energy (BLE), active packaging, oxygen scavengers, ethylene absorbers, moisture scavengers, anti-microbial packaging. By application, the market is segmented into bottles and jars, blisters, trays & clamshells, cans, boxes & cartons, vials, ampoules, & prefilled syringes, bags & pouches, films & wraps, mailers, labels, tapes, and others. By the end user, the market is segmented as food, meat, poultry, & seafood, fruits & vegetables, dairy products, bakery & confectionary, processed food, ready-to-eat food, others, beverage, healthcare, medical devices, medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, logistics & transport, consumer electronics, consumer goods, personal care & homecare, others. Based on levels of packaging, the market is segmented as primary, secondary, and tertiary.
The healthcare category is estimated to hold a major share of the global intelligent packaging market. The demand for intelligent packaging is growing due to strict transportation and packaging regulations for medical goods and medications. The demand for OTC (over-the-counter) medications has increased due to the rising elderly population and numerous chronic conditions. The number of medications available on the market has expanded thanks to advances in medical science and the outcomes of several pharmaceutical industry research and development initiatives.
The primary packaging segment is projected to increase in the global intelligent packaging market. Primary packaging is the product's main line of defence against external deterioration, impurity, and destruction. Additionally, it keeps the product in storage for a long time. The primary packaging has many advantages, including stickability, proper presentation, ease of handling, and convenience. Growth in the intelligent packaging market is also fueled by lifestyle changes, rising income levels, and population growth. The growth prospects are anticipated to be brought on by technological innovation and the growing market penetration of leading industry players in the packaging sector.
North America is estimated to dominate the market for intelligent packaging and will maintain this pattern of dominance during the projection period. Due to the availability of the necessary infrastructure for smart manufacturing, shipping, and wrapping. The region's market is predicted to develop due to the region's expanding working population as well as the rising desire for interactive and better packaging solutions.
Additionally, Asia Pacific is predicted to have profitable growth. The strong demand for packaged food and related items necessitates additional attention and concern in the transport cycle. Other factors driving demand in the Asia Pacific smart packaging market include customers' urbanization and lifestyle changes in developing nations like China, India, and Thailand.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies
The contributors who typically take part in such a course include, but are not limited to:
Data Modeling and Analysis:
In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.
The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
