Smart packaging includes modified atmosphere packaging techniques, such as embedded sensor technology, that are specifically designed to increase and monitor the shelf life of the packed products. The components are generally added with the packaging material to improve the performance of the package system. Mostly utilized with foods and pharmaceuticals, smart packaging enables efficient reporting of external packaging conditions and precisely measures the quality of the inside product from time to time. In addition to this, biosensors are widely deployed in this system since they are instrumental in identifying pathogens and toxic elements. Smart packaging offers numerous benefits, including reduced counterfeiting, improved safety and increased shelf life.

Smart Packaging Market Trends:
The global market is primarily driven by the commercialization of printed electronics. This is supported by the rising adoption of smart labels across organized retail chains. Moreover, considerable progress in the lifestyles led by consumers due to rapid urbanization and digitalization across the globe is acting as a significant growth-inducing factor. In addition to this, the escalating demand for pharmaceutical products and the widespread prominence of online pharmacy services among the masses are creating a positive outlook for the market. In line with this, the continual premiumization of several drugs, especially due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, is further contributing to the market growth. The market is also driven by the growing nanotechnology applications in food and beverage (F&B) applications, expanding online and offline organized retail chains across the world and the increasing consumption of packaged food products. Some of the other factors propelling the demand for smart packaging include the preference for sustainable packaging solutions, extensive research and development (R&D) activities and the integration of these solutions with radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology.
