Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Rigorous Product Safety Regulations
The rise in strict product protection regulations related to counterfeiting. Since the market concentration of counterfeit products is constantly growing, strict regulations are imposed by the government of different countries to regulate counterfeiting activities. Such regulations have a positive influence on the anti-counterfeit packaging industry and seek to eliminate the demand for counterfeit products. Due to the sales of counterfeit products, there has been a rise in concerns about the losses suffered by product manufacturers across countries, which has increased concerns about brand dilution, which in turn drives the need for a market.
Restraint:
High Cost
High setup and innovation expenses are necessary to create it, which prevents both new entrants and potential clients from accepting solutions, limiting the market growth. Furthermore, some existing technologies, such as barcodes and QR codes, are easy to replicate or fake without proper customer awareness, limiting industry expansion.
Opportunity:
Rising Digitalization Of Anti-Counterfeiting Solutions
In favor of digital anti-counterfeiting kits, a significant argument is that smartphones can be tapped to allow consumer-usable solutions. Quick-response (QR) codes boast the convenience of scanning without the need to download any app. With each day, the need and importance for its solutions are increasing, and trends are expected to continue in the future. In this scenario, the 'go-to solution' for thwarting economic harm, health threats, online fraud, and a spate of other crimes have been digital anti-counterfeiting packaging solutions. Globally, the counterfeiting of fragile goods is discouraged by various kinds of anti-counterfeit packaging, both subtle and overt. Thus, they save lives and economic welfare directly and indirectly, which leads to the upsurge in the market in recent times.
Threat:
Lack of Awareness
The primary challenge for its producers is raising consumer awareness of how to use these technologies to determine a product's ingenuity. Companies must advise customers about technology in a covert manner so that imitators are unable to imitate them. Furthermore, the creation of these solutions attracts a lot of money, which puts a strain on the industry's growth.
COVID-19 Impact
Law enforcement agencies and drug suppliers in the U.S. are being urged to step up their investment in anti-counterfeiting measures as part of plans to tackle the COVID crisis. The advice from the International Hologram Manufacturers Association (IHMA) comes in the wake of reports of a 300% increase this year in adverts on the dark web for coronavirus vaccines, fake vaccination certificates and fake negative COVID-19 test results.
Pharmaceutical packaging segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
Due to the risk of damage caused by the use of fake products, a major demand for anti-counterfeit packaging is expected to come from the pharmaceutical industry. Manufacturers are embracing anti-counterfeiting packaging technology due to concerns about the brand value and adverse effects of spurious products, which in turn fuels the global demand for the market. Following the concerns about brand dilution and losses suffered by manufacturers, many companies are making significant investments in this packaging technology which in turn is expected to generate enormous business opportunities for industry players.
The Mass Encoding segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Mass Encoded products, with the support of software solutions, permit product tracking through the various nodes in the logistics and supply chain management operations. Barcode, digital mass serialization, and digital mass encryption are the various options used for mass encoding the market for thermal paper-based labels, which has also experienced a rise in its demand.
