Smart Packaging nowadays uses a new technology called intelligent packaging technique in the food industry. This technology includes Artificial Intelligence, Near Field Communication (NFC), and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). In near-field communication, the sensor has been used for inventory tracking purposes whereas RFID is used to provide accurate information such as counterfeit prevention. All these innovations are responsible to influence the growth of the Smart Packaging Market in the coming years. In addition, increasing commercialization of printed electronics for smart labels is expected to bolster the growth of the Smart Packaging Market. Furthermore, various companies are started developing their product by using advanced Smart Packaging technologies. For instance, Tetra Pak, a Swedish-Swiss multinational food packaging and processing company, introduced a connected packaging platform to supply milk and juice cartons through interactive information channels, full-scale data carriers, and digital tools.

COVID Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 outbreak has affected various industries worldwide. Governments across the world implemented strict lockdown measures and social distancing norms in order to restrict the swift spread of the pandemic. Manufacturing facilities around the world were shut down during the initial stages of the pandemic. Moreover, the economic crisis after the pandemic might lead to a significant delay in the commercial roll-out of the sand control solutions market. Small and medium-scale companies are the backbone of technology providers and are witnessing a steep drop in revenue since the emergence of the pandemic in 2020. Hence, market players faced numerous challenges as disruptions in the supply chain were observed. However, things will improve in the second half of 2022 as more supplies will come online.
