Intelligent Packaging Market- Key Takeaways
·
By technology, interactive packaging/ data carriers are expected to
attract an investment opportunity of above US$ 13.3 Bn during
the research period of 2021-2031 due to improved usage of QR code labels, RFID
tracking and product identification barcodes among others.
·
By the level of packaging, primary packaging is expected to observe an
incremental growth of 2.5x by 2031.
·
By application, blister packaging is expected to witness a YoY growth
of 13.9% in 2021 due to improved usage in the pharmaceutical
and healthcare industry.
·
By end-use, more than 1/3rd of the total intelligent
packaging market is held by the food and beverage industry, however, the
healthcare sector is expected to register a CAGR of 11% during
the forecast period.
·
By region, South Asia is expected to attract intelligent packaging
investors and the market is expected to account for nearly 13% of
the total market share by 2031. However, Europe tops the leaderboard and is
expected to showcase high demand for disruptive technologies in the intelligent
packaging market.
“Intelligent packaging is headed
towards providing seamless tracking and tracing, extending shelf life,
monitoring and communicating product condition and interacting with the
consumer through data-carrying wireless technology. The intelligent packaging
market holds immense potential and investment opportunities. It will continue
driving consumer engagement in the coming years,” says an FMI analyst.
Technological Advancements in Food and Beverage Packaging to Pave Way
for Intelligent Packaging
Intelligent
packaging was incorporated primarily for the food industry and it has seen
continuous innovations in the sector since its advent. Freshness and
temperature indicators to determine the product condition, QR codes and
barcodes to share product information with the consumers, and moisture and
oxygen scavengers to enhance the shelf life of the product were a few
innovations that have changed the traditional food packaging.
The sector is
expected to witness more dynamic changes and sustainable innovations due to
intelligent packaging that will reshape the food packaging industry. Biosensors
for pathogens and toxicity indicators are a few advances in intelligent
packaging that are expected to thrive in the food and beverage packaging
industry in this decade.
Another development
in intelligent packaging is to uncover if the food and beverage packed within
is baked or microwaved products. Researchers are developing indicators that can
determine the food quality and readiness to eat with forestalling elements like
microwave doneness indicators (MDIs) and colour indicators.
Smart Packaging for Tracking and Tracing Packages
Intelligent
packaging uses technologies such as barcodes, NFC and RFID tags to track
products and ensure they are delivered in an appropriate condition. The advent
of IT software like the internet of things, blockchain technology and cloud
computing are bringing a revolution in intelligent packaging by providing
statistical and quantitated information about the package.
The expansion of
the intelligent packaging industry is expected to boost manufacturing company
offerings with better packaging designs. Consumers are looking for smart,
cost-effective, aesthetically pleasing and practical intelligent packaging that
is sustainable. Manufacturers are continuously replacing traditional plastic
packaging with technologically-equipped paper and bio-based packaging that
provides more than just product storage.
Impact of COVID-19 on Intelligent Packaging Market
Unlike the majority
of industries affected negatively by the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, the
global pharmaceutical and healthcare sector observed high growth and silent
innovations. With the increasing manufacturing of oxygen cylinders to
transporting vaccines, intelligent packaging played a vital role in shaping the
industry. Intelligent packaging ensured a better product reach and safety of
consumers through technologically-embedded labels, tags and cold chain
packaging sensors.
The pandemic could
be held responsible for the penetration of intelligent packaging in the healthcare
and pharmaceutical sectors. However, limited marketing and branding options
also encouraged food and beverage manufacturers to smartly advertise their
products via packaging. With instruction manual to social message during the
pandemic, everything was conveyed through smart packaging to the customers.
Hence, COVID-19
couldn’t be termed exactly detrimental for the intelligent packaging industry.
However, with manufacturers trying to attract customers after the pandemic,
intelligent packaging is expected to play a major role in shaping the consumer
packaging industry.
