The global market for anti-counterfeiting, brand protection and security packaging is currently worth an estimated $3.24 billion, with market value forecast to increase at a CAGR of 5.6% to reach more than $4.26 billion by 2026.
COVID-19 has led to an increase in the quantity of counterfeited products in many parts of the world, due to restrictions in global trade. This, coupled with the huge growth of the e-commerce industry in 2020, has increased demand for anti-counterfeiting and brand protection solutions.
Key growth areas include pharmaceuticals and luxury goods, and track-and-trace solutions are one of the best performing technological sectors, as supply chain transparency has become a steadily more important issue for brand owners. The industry is increasingly seeking out more holistic solutions (i.e. those which combine overt and covert features) to counter the growth in counterfeit goods.
