The global smart packaging market size was estimated at USD 35.92 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach around USD 60.49 billion by 2032 with a registered CAGR of 5.4% from 2023 to 2032.
Smart packaging is a kind of device that boosts the engine's effectiveness and power. The term "smart packaging" refers to a particular kind of sensor-equipped packaging system used for a variety of goods, including food and pharmaceuticals. The smart packaging technology contributes to improving product quality, shelf life, freshness monitoring, and customer and product safety. These intelligent systems offer information on the product's quality and freshness when it is packaged with intelligent technology.
Due to restrictions on industrial operations during the COVID-19 epidemic, which also impeded the installation of new smart packaging systems, the market for smart packaging was hindered. Additionally, during the lockdown, the smart packaging solutions could not be efficiently sold through OEMs. The main drivers propelling the growth of this market are the increased need for sophisticated packaging solutions from the food processing and pharmaceutical industries, rising consumer concern for reducing food waste, and rising demand for smart & functional packaging. Additionally, the expanding E-commerce industry, increased industrialization, and high demand for excellent supply chain management are projected to provide up attractive potential for market participants.
The costs of the sensors and radio frequency identification (RFID) utilized for packaging applications, which are leading to the failures over the mass applications for packaging systems, make better packaging more expensive than traditional forms of packaging. Additionally, it results in the gathering of client data, which, in the manufacturers' opinion, might eventually create manipulative and tense situations that constrain the market.
Additionally, the COVID-19 epidemic had a significant impact on the hotel, tourist, industrial, and construction sectors. Manufacturing operations were suspended or limited. Globally, supply networks for the construction and transportation industries were disrupted. This reduced the production of smart packaging as well as the market's demand for them, which hindered the market's expansion for smart packaging. On the other hand, businesses gradually began providing their usual goods and services. The smart packaging businesses were able to resume operations at full capacity as a result, which assisted in the market's recovery by the end of 2021.
