Anti-counterfeit packaging is the process of securing and authenticating products in order to minimize counterfeiting or infringement malpractices.Anti-counterfeit measures are taken by pharmaceuticals and cosmetics & personal care companies to minimize the losses incurred due to counterfeiting and to maintain their brand equity.
Medical and cosmetic products are said to be counterfeited if there are no proper representations such as their identity or their source.Growth in free international trade for import/export of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products coupled with minimal drug regulation has lead to counterfeiting of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. Thus, in order to minimize the counterfeiting of these packed products, several anti-counterfeit technologies such as overt, covert, and track &trace technologies are used. This factor drives the demand in the global market. In addition, U.S. and other European countries use RFID and 2D barcode in order to prohibit and minimize pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging counterfeiting, which is another considerable factor that drives the demand of the global market. Moreover, less developed countries are vulnerable to counterfeiting of packed pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. Counterfeited pharmaceutical products and medicines increase the health associated risks that in turn raises morbidity and mortality. This factor is another considerable factor anticipated to drive the demand in the global anti-counterfeit pharmaceuticals and cosmetics packaging market.
However, high cost is required for implementing product identification setups (ground infrastructure). This high cost setup is not always feasible for low cost products. Such factors are not dominant in developed countries such as U.S. and Europe due to favorable government support for ground infrastructure. However, in developing countries such as India, government fails to provide ground infrastructure, such as satellite for real time tracking solutions for companies.
On the contrary, different class of pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products are being counterfeited due to poor regulations, large number of intermediaries involved during supply & packaging, and lack of awareness. In addition, rise in health care cost, globalization trend, and surge in number of deregulations associated with pharmaceutical packed products are anticipated to boost the number of medicine and cosmetic productscounterfeiting. Thus, several new anti-counterfeiting technologies are being used in order to protect and secure pharmaceutical and cosmetic supply chain, which is anticipated to offer new growth opportunities in the global market.

Analyst Review
The global anti-counterfeit pharmaceuticals and cosmetics packaging market is expected to exhibit high growth potential in the upcoming years. Hologram is an effective and efficient anti-counterfeit authentication technology used to minimize the risk associated with counterfeiting. Hologram contains three layered security features and is widely used authentication technology in the global anti-counterfeit pharmaceuticals and cosmetics packaging market. Moreover, hologram offers both overt (first line authentication) and covert (second line authentication) such as scrambled images, microtext, UV-sensitive or other specialized inks. Thus, use of hologram provides effective first line and second line authentication, which in turn manages to minimize the counterfeited packaged products. In addition, several other technologies are being developed in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of anti-counterfeit technologies in pharmaceuticals and cosmetic end-use industries. For instance, use of sterilized holograms can play dual purpose i.e., authentication and traceability of packed pharmaceuticals.
Several track and trace technologies are used to minimize the counterfeiting of pharmaceuticals and cosmetic packaging. This unique technology includes attachment of unique identity on the pharmaceutical or cosmetic packaged product during the manufacturing and packaging. Identities such as unique pack coding and others are preserved throughout the supply chain that in turn prevents counterfeiting risks. Automatic authentication methods are now in trend for tracking pharmaceutical drugs. The technologies that are used for real time tracking of drugs include radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, UHF RFID technology, and E-pedigree software. This technology is used with e-Pedigree, supply chain management, reverse logistics, and inventory control. The application of RFID provides tip to toe tracking of pharmaceutical drugs. Pharmaceutical drug tracking has increased due to increased incidences in counterfeited drugs.
Globalization gives rise to more trade across the borders, which creates a loophole for counterfeiters to foster and take advantage of such unmanaged businesses. The manufacturers in such cases are not in a position to track the actual location of their products while they are in transit. This gives rise to a need of efficient supply chain management, which ends at one point i.e. adoption of anti-counterfeiting technology.
