Report Code : CVMI2412210 | Published Date : March 3, 2025

The Global Active and Smart Packaging Market was valued at USD 23.5 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 40.9 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.9%. This growth is driven by increasing demand for food safety, pharmaceutical traceability, and sustainable solutions. Active packaging enhances product shelf life through oxygen scavengers or moisture control, while smart packaging utilizes QR codes, NFC tags, and temperature indicators for real-time monitoring monitoring.

Key Market Drivers

  1. Food Waste Reduction Initiatives
    • Active packaging reduces food spoilage by 30-40%, saving USD 12 billion annually in global food losses.
    • EU’s Farm to Fork Strategy mandates 50% food waste reduction by 2030, boosting adoption.
  2. Pharmaceutical Safety Regulations
    • FDA’s DSCSA Act (2023) requires serialization for 100% of prescription drugs, driving smart label demand.
    • Temperature-sensitive vaccines now use 20% more smart indicators post-pandemic.
  3. E-commerce Explosion
    • Amazon’s 2024 packaging standards require freshness indicators for perishable deliveries.
    • Active shipping labels prevent USD 2.3 billion in cold chain failures annually.
  4. Sustainability Pressures
    • Mondi’s Recyclable Barrier Films replace 45,000 tons of plastic yearly.
    • Nestlé’s 2025 pledge to use 100% smart-recyclable packaging.
