Holographic foil is a specialty material that produces a three-dimensional, shimmering effect through diffraction patterns. It is widely used in packaging, printing, and security applications to enhance visual appeal and prevent counterfeiting. The holographic properties of the foil change with the angle of light, resulting in dynamic and eye-catching designs.
The main types of holographic foils include holographic hot stamping foil, holographic narrow-web cold foil, holographic sheet-fed offset cold foil, and holographic lamination foil. Holographic hot stamping foil is a decorative foil used to apply holographic effects to surfaces using heat and pressure. It employs various technologies, such as thermoforming and cold forming, and is useful in the printing and packaging industry, decorative applications, anti-counterfeiting labels, brand protection, and more.

The holographic foil market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.14 billion in 2024 to $10.16 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing applications in medical and pharmaceutical packaging, growing interest in augmented reality applications, increasing concerns about product counterfeiting and tampering, and increasing demand for decorative films.
The holographic foil market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.34 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising across a range of industries, increasing usage of holographs, growing demand for food and beverages, increasing demand for secure packaging solutions, and growing demand for lightweight packaging solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include technological developments, innovations in environmentally friendly holographic foil materials, developments in holographic printing techniques, innovative packaging solutions, and integration with smart packaging technologies.
The growing demand in the food and beverage sector is expected to drive the expansion of the holographic foil market in the future. The food and beverage sector includes businesses involved in the production, processing, distribution, and sale of food and drinks to consumers and businesses globally. This sector is experiencing growth due to increased consumer demand for convenience, health-conscious products, and diverse culinary experiences. Holographic foil enhances the visual appeal of packaging, grabs consumer attention, and strengthens the perception of product quality in the competitive food and beverage market. For example, in October 2023, the Agriculture and Agri-Food Department of Canada reported that in 2022, exports of processed food and beverage products reached a record high of $54.3 billion, reflecting a 14.1% increase from the previous year and making up 34.7% of the total production value. As a result, the rising demand in the food and beverage sector is fueling the growth of the holographic foil market.
Key companies in the holographic foil market are developing advanced products, such as laser-resistant foil, to improve product security and authenticity. Laser-resistant foil is designed to resist tampering and counterfeiting attempts using lasers, maintaining its integrity and holographic properties when exposed to laser beams. For instance, in September 2022, OpSec Security, a US-based provider of integrated online protection and on-product authentication solutions, launched OpSec LazaFoil (HSF102), a laser-resistant foil, as part of its newly released OpSec Agile range of hot stamping foils. OpSec LazaFoil is a versatile, laser-resistant holographic foil designed for patch application on various substrates, especially suitable for lower volume requirements and when subsequent document personalization using a laser writer is needed. This LazaFoil range includes six foils optimized for registered patch or continuous stripe applications on various security substrates and is compatible with a wide range of application machines used in the security print industry. OpSec's flexible manufacturing solution ensures that Agile foils can be made available fully finished in a matter of weeks, according to customer needs, and can be supplied in flexible volumes from a few hundred to several thousand square meters.
In April 2024, API Foilmakers Limited, a UK-based packaging company, acquired United Foils Europe BV for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to significantly strengthen API Foilmakers Limited's distribution network by combining its operations with those of United Foils Europe and its subsidiaries. United Foils Europe BV, a Netherlands-based company, provides a range of transfer foils tailored for various applications across industries.
