Labeling Legislation ( Cont’d from Page 12)

Track & trace technologies, in addition to being used in the packaging industry, are also adopted dur- ing the manufacturing process.Track & trace can also be used to better secure the supply chain by allow- ing manufacturers to locate the package at any point during the delivery process.The segment for track & trace technologies is forecast to grow at the highest CAGR over the course of the next five years. The coding & printing technologies segment has in the past dominated anti-counterfeiting efforts and is still projected to hold the largest market share. How- ever, globally manufacturers are showing an in- creased preference for RFID technology, which offers the dual benefit of tracking and identifying the prod- uct throughout the supply chain. Taking that into consideration, the RFID segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. As China and India become increasingly urbanized, with the accompanying rise in disposable income and an increased awareness of the importance of anti-coun- terfeit packaging, the growth of the Asia-Pacific anti- counterfeit packaging market is seemingly inevitable. Rapid industrialization and imposition of strict laws pertaining to secure packaging, according to the re- port, are also major factors contributing to the growth of the Anti-Counterfeit Packaging Market.
