The stringent regulations and standards for the implementation of serialization and the increasing focus of manufacturers on brand protection are the major drivers of growth for this market. On the other hand, the high costs and long implementation timeframe associated with serialization and aggregation, as well as the huge setup costs, are expected to limit market growth to a certain extent.
Key Market Players
The global track and trace solutions market is highly fragmented, with prominent players, such as OPTEL Group (Canada), Uhlmann Group (Germany), SEA Vision S.r.l. (Italy), Syntegon (Germany), and Antares Vision S.p.A. (Italy), accounting for 20-25% of the total market share. The key players in the track and trace solutions market are based in developed regions such as Europe and North America. However, in the past few years, many smaller players specializing in pharmaceutical serialization solutions have emerged from niche markets. They are competing with global players based on product scope and innovation. The lucrative growth opportunities in the Asia Pacific and Latin American markets encourage market players to strengthen their presence in these regions.
DRIVERS: Increasing focus of manufacturers on brand protection
Counterfeiting is a growing threat for companies that bring to market medicines, medical devices, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical packaging. Growing international trade and the lack of stringent regulations have increased the use of counterfeit drugs and other products across the globe. Counterfeiting applies to both branded and generic products; that includes products with incorrect/false ingredients, without active ingredients, with an incorrect amount of active ingredients, and with fake packaging. Manufacturers invest large amounts of resources in developing a brand, and counterfeiters use this brand identity to sell counterfeit products. This creates significant damage to the original manufacturer’s revenue and also hampers the brand's image. Hence, in order to prevent counterfeiting, the use of track-and-trace technologies such as barcodes and RFID is imperative. Many manufacturers use a combination of different track-and-trace technologies throughout their supply chain to enhance product traceability and security. A uniquely serialized product allows for item-level traceability across the supply chain, helping brand owners collect more information for deeper insights than lot- or container-level traceability. Thus, the growing focus of manufacturing companies is on brand building, which, in turn, is increasing the usage of serialisation and thereby driving the market for track and trace solutions.
RESTRAINTS: Huge setup costs for technologies
Track-and-trace technologies are capital intensive and necessitate large initial investments. The initial capital expenditure is a barrier to potential entrants. Moreover, heavy investments must be made in transport arrangements to ensure the timely delivery of products. Therefore, new entrants have to bear huge production costs and very low margins, as new facilities need a good amount of time to attain economies of scale. At the same time, these companies need to maintain their prices according to the prevailing market trend to survive in a competitive environment. Getting clearance from government regulators is one of the major problems faced by new entrants. These challenges are expected to restrain the market's growth to some extent.
OPPORTUNITIES: Remote authentication of products
Traditional brand protection technologies such as anti-theft and authentication are meant to protect individual items rather than protecting the entire supply chain. Hence, there is a possibility of false products being introduced at any stage in the supply chain. To combat this, solutions with automatic and non-line-of-sight capabilities are required. The demand for technologies with modular designs that meet enterprise needs has increased in the last few years. For example, track-and-trace technologies based on RFID maintain an electronic pedigree that tracks the transaction information of products within the supply chain. This approach proved to be a standout for protecting the supply chain against infiltration, theft, and fraud and supporting remote authentication in the brand protection supply chain.
