Market Overview

The Japan Anti-Counterfeit Packaging Market Size refers to the industry focused on developing packaging solutions that prevent the imitation or unauthorized replication of genuine products.  One of the main factors propelling the anti-counterfeit packaging market in Japan is the growing incidence of counterfeit goods in a variety of industries. For example, more than 60% of Japanese businesses said that counterfeiting has harmed them, with the food and beverage sector being especially hard hit. The rising scope of the issue is demonstrated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI), which has recorded a notable rise in the seizures of counterfeit goods at Japanese borders. Large Japanese companies like Sony and Panasonic have responded by making significant investments in anti-counterfeit technologies for their product packaging. In order to prevent counterfeiting, the pharmaceutical industry has also taken the initiative. Takeda Pharmaceutical, for example, has implemented track-and-trace and serialization systems on its packaging.

Driving Factors
