Market Dynamics
The market is witnessing growth due to increasing consumer awareness, technological advancements, new application areas, and the growing demand for secured packaging. In addition to these, increasing government regulations and focus mainly on eradicating counterfeit goods in emerging and developed economies are expected to drive the market growth. The regulations are stringent as quality is crucial in the pharmaceutical sector. The legislation is constantly developing and new technologies are becoming available.
In addition to these, the market is further driven by growing concerns about the negative effects of spurious drugs. The anti-counterfeit packaging for pharmaceutical products is expected to emerge as the fastest growing segment in the market over the coming years. However, the high cost associated with the implementation of anti-counterfeiting packaging technologies, apprehensions about the security features of anti-counterfeiting packaging technology among manufacturers, and the lack of awareness about authentic pharmaceutical products among consumers, are expected to hamper the growth of the market. Moreover, the lack of awareness about authentic pharmaceutical products among consumers boosts the counterfeiting process. This is further expected to drive the demand for anti-counterfeiting solutions.
