The anti-counterfeit pharmaceutical packaging market can be segmented by technology into mass encoding, security printing & graphics, holograms, RFID, and security ink coatings. Out of these, the mass encoding segment is projected to hold a significant market share during the forecast period, owing to its excellent product tracking solution in several nodes of the supply chain management. However, the segment for RFID is estimated to register highest growth by the end of 2029, which can be attributed to the better tracking features and product security of this technology.
