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. Additionally, on the basis of feature, the segments for covert & overt features are evaluated to grow with a notable CAGR during the forecast period. This can be credited to the increasing adoption of covert & overt systems as they are able to offer authenticated packaging in the form of a visual representation or any other comprehensive method which is extremely hard to copy without a particular detection device.
