The increasing counterfeiting activities are expected to propel the growth of the anti-counterfeit electronics and automobiles packaging market going forward. Counterfeiting activities refer to the illegal production, imitation, or distribution of goods designed to deceive consumers by replicating genuine products, trademarks, or packaging, often resulting in financial losses, safety risks, and brand damage. These activities are driven by e-commerce growth and complex supply chains, which enable easy circulation of fake products. Counterfeiting activities enhance the demand for anti-counterfeit electronics and automobiles packaging by driving the need for advanced authentication technologies that ensure product originality, strengthen supply chain security, and protect brands from imitation. For instance, in August 2025, ASM International, a US-based professional organization, recorded 1,055 suspect counterfeit electronic parts, representing a 25% increase over 2023. Therefore, the rising counterfeiting activities are fueling growth in the anti-counterfeit electronics and automobile packaging market.

Key companies in the anti-counterfeit electronics and automobile packaging market are focusing on innovations in digital printing and labelling technologies to enhance product authentication, improve traceability, and prevent counterfeiting across the supply chain. Digital printing and labelling technologies use advanced printing methods and labelling systems that allow high-resolution, variable, and secure customization of product identifiers. For example, in September 2025, Digimarc Corporation, a US-based digital identification and detection company, launched Digitized Security Labels designed to help brands prevent product counterfeiting and ensure traceability. These labels combine covert watermarks with visible quick response (QR) codes, enabling two-factor authentication through a simple scan. Consumers can verify product authenticity by scanning the QR code, which directs them to the watermarked security label, providing a dual verification step. This system offers scalable authentication, security, and traceability for a wide range of consumer products, enhancing brand protection and consumer trust.

In May 2024, Crane NXT Co., a US-based industrial technology and authentication solutions company, acquired OpSec Security Group Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Crane NXT aims to integrate OpSec’s optical security, authentication, and traceability technologies with its own solutions to offer end-to-end item-level authentication, secure labeling, and serialization for electronics and automotive parts packaging worldwide. OpSec Security Group Inc. is a UK-based technology company specializing in anti-counterfeit packaging and authentication solutions.
