Smart (or intelligent) packaging for goods is packaging which goes beyond the basic function of passively containing and protecting the product by adding useful functionality with real benefits for the consumer.
This comprehensive IDTechEx Research report covers the upcoming requirements and drivers for smart packaging; feedback from Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) brands with their views of smart packaging; assessment of enabling technologies; smart packaging case studies; key players; and forecasts of electronic smart packaging.
This analysis is done on a global basis, from assessing the rise of QR codes in China to the latest electronic smart labels based on novel semiconductors and other components that are enabling a radical change in the $400 billion+ packaging industry.
IDTechEx concludes how the global demand for electronic smart packaging features will be a $895 million market in 2030 versus $55 million in 2020 (and more if the infrastructure, software and services are also included). Based on an impartial analysis, IDTechEx expects that almost 21 billion packages sold in 2030 will feature an electronic feature to enhance the package.
Why Smart and Intelligent Packaging?
Smart and intelligent packaging can offer many different benefits to the brand, retailer and consumer. For example, it addresses the need for brands to reconnect with the customer or face potential oblivion from competing products. Other drivers include counterfeiting to the ageing population's need for better drug delivery devices.
There are many current and developing emerging technologies which are driving change in the smart packaging segment, often with very different purposes, which include:
- RFID for wireless item identification (usually invisible to the consumer)
- Electronic Articles Surveillance (EAS) for anti theft (usually invisible to the consumer)
- QR codes for identification (increasingly used for payments)
- Data loggers for temperature, shock, vibration, etc monitoring
- Interactive smart packaging including illumination, sound, measuring (such as smart blister packs) and much more
- Chemical indicators: temperature, frozen chemical visual indicators
- Internal active packaging: whereby the package interacts with the contents to keep it fresher for longer, for example
- External active packaging: whereby the package releases aromas, for example, to entice consumers
Drivers for Smart Packaging
There are prominent drivers for smart packaging, including the ageing population, more wealthy consumers, requirement for more data on products purchased, entertainment value, need to distinguish products amidst greater competition and tougher legislation.
Smart packaging can also solve big challenges such as monitoring patients not taking medication at the correct times when needed or informing that the medicines or foods are still safe to consume.
Across that backdrop there are other significant impending changes, from increasing home delivery of products and groceries which may change the value of the product packaging in the decision and sales process to many new enabling technologies from machine vision systems to identify items to the increasing adoption of RFID to printed electronics labels. Of course, sustainability is also a high priority for brands.
