World Markets & Technologies - Opportunities & Trends

With quantitative market sizing estimates for 2023 with forecasts to 2028 & longer-term predictions to 2032

Publication: July 2024

Digital Transformation has been gradual over an extended period, however, by 2023, the process has been accelerating markedly. And arguably a major tipping point has now been reached.

While transformation has already been extensively integrated across most business functions, the digitalisation of actual packaging/labels at item level has to some extent lagged behind.

Although, UID data carrier technology (RFID / NFC / BLE / QR codes, digital watermarking and so on) is well established, exploiting these UIDs has been quite cumbersome for users.

Meanwhile, there has been a great proliferation of dedicated ‘Digital Platforms’ that cater for specific vertical markets.

This recent proliferation of more user-friendly software / internet-based digital platforms typically embodying special features has facilitated usage & fuelling user pull, as potential benefits become increasingly self-evident.

The next crucial step to advance the Digital Transformation of a company’s operations is the comprehensive integration of connected packaging/labels into a company’s overall strategy & implementation.

So, stakeholders (incl. brand owners as well as packaging / labels converters) are upgrading their IT systems to accommodate new requirements.

Packaging / labels converters fulfil a key role as UID data carriers.

By harvesting & leveraging digitalised data, a number of powerful functionalities & benefits become accessible to stakeholders.

This approach is being made much more viable, due to recent important technological advances that are enabling companies to ameliorate operations & solve long standing issues.

Thus, providing opportunities for companies to build competitive advantage and avoid being left behind.

Furthermore, the Fourth Industrial Revolution – Industry 4.0 – is being facilitated by the confluence of a host of new technologies and innovations that includes:

At the same time there is a climate of increasing government & organisational regulatory constraints across several key vertical markets.

Today, packaging /labels related Digital Transformation is typically seeing double digit CAGRs across a range of business processes, that is being enabled by:

• The range of mature data carrier options
• A rapidly maturing provider base of digital platforms.

This new Vandagraf Report takes a ‘deep dive’ into the complexities of this new reality by analysing the overall technical and commercial landscape, including:

• Where the technology has got to
• Who is doing what already and why
• Where the action is in each the 6 vertical markets reviewed (Healthcare, Apparel & Footwear, Beauty & Personal Care, Luxury Products, Wines & Spirits, Food)
• With quantitative market sizing estimates & forecasts.

By identifying the new high-growth opportunities being created and future trends, the Report is therefore designed to support subscribers in navigating what is a complex & rapidly evolving space, in relation to business decisions, road mapping & strategy.

Note: The new report follows on from a series of previous studies that Vandagraf has researched & published, together with numerous dedicated single client studies addressing related topics.
