Report Description
The market for coding and marking systems has been covered under the scope of this report. Coding and marking systems are equipment and solutions used for printing technology information such as barcodes, manufacturing details, ingredients, and others on packaging. In addition, coding and marking systems are also used for putting traceability information as well as branding information on packaging. The global coding and marking systems market has been segmented on the basis of technology, application, end user, and region. It also provides a cross-sectional study of the global market across broad regional segments such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), Middle-East and Africa (MEA), and Latin America under its scope. The market is primarily being driven by the rising demand for coding and marking systems in the food and beverage and automotive sectors. Furthermore, manufacturers’ growing concern about protecting their technology from counterfeits has fueled the use of trademarks, brand images, and intellectual property labels on packaging. This, in turn, drives the growth of the coding and marking industry.
The scope of the Report
A complete analysis of market dynamics, which includes the market drivers, restraints, and opportunities, is included within the scope of the report. The market dynamics for the different segments, namely technology, application, and end user, have been covered separately under the purview of the report. Additionally, the country-level trend for each region has also been covered under the scope of the report. Thus, this report provides an exhaustive study of the global coding and marking systems market and also provides a forecast of the market for the period from 2017 to 2025.
Market Dynamics
The primary driving factors of the global coding and marking systems market are the growing need for traceability of the product throughout the value chain and stringent government norms for disclosing manufacturing information such as batch codes, ingredients, manufacturer’s details, etc. on the packaging of products. In order to meet government regulations, manufacturers are adapting coding and marking systems to print required information on product packaging.
