Intelligent packaging and connected packaging formats incorporate NFC chips, QR codes, thermochromic indicators, and digital sensors. These features allow temperature tracking, freshness validation, and product authentication.
Integration with blockchain-based verification enhances transparency across the product lifecycle, supporting smarter inventory management and compliance reporting.
3) Food & Beverage Dominates with 47.2%
The food & beverage sector is projected to account for 47.2% of market share in 2025. Smart trays, films, cartons, and labels provide time-temperature indicators and tamper-evident seals for perishables and ready-to-eat meals.
