Markets and Markets: Global Anti-Counterfeit Market for Food and Pharmaceuticals Worth US $79.3 Billion by 2014

According to a new market research report, ‘Global Anti Counterfeit Market for Food and Pharmaceuticals (2009-2014)’, published by Markets and Markets (www.marketsandmarkets.com):

  • Increasing cases of counterfeiting have resulted in implementation of anti- counterfeit technologies. Anti-counterfeit technologies are of two types namely authentication packaging and track and trace packaging technologies. North America holds a major share of the global anti counterfeit market. Asia has the highest growth rate due to untapped market and significant level of counterfeiting. Europe has a lower growth rate due to a relatively lower number of cases of counterfeiting.

  • The global anti counterfeit packaging market for food and pharmaceuticals market is expected to be worth US$79.3 billion by 2014, with an estimated CAGR of 8.6% from 2009 to 2014.

  • The North American packaging market is expected to account for nearly 62% of the total revenues. North America is the largest segment in the anti-counterfeit market and is expected to reach US $49 billion by 2014, accounting for nearly 62% of the revenues growing at a CAGR of 6.8%.

  • Asia is the second largest market and is expected to reach US$14 billion by 2014 with a highest CAGR of 19.7%.

While XStream Systems feels that the data presented in this report is valid it believed that Markets and Markets may have overlooked significant technology solutions in their research.

Most of the report seemingly centered on packaging technologies and ignored material screening technologies such as XStream’s XT solutions which allow the end user to verify the authenticity of a material inside its sealed unit of sale container.

How large is this market if material screening technologies were included in the mix?
