Anti-Counterfeit Electronics and Automobiles Packaging Global Market Report 2025

The anti-counterfeit electronics and automobiles packaging market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $38.62 billion in 2024 to $44.02 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising counterfeit incidents in electronics and auto parts, expansion of cross-border e-commerce and gray markets, stricter customs seizures and border enforcement actions, priorities for brand protection and warranty fraud mitigation, and original equipment manufacturer compliance requirements for authorized distributors.

The anti-counterfeit electronics and automobiles packaging market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $73.42 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of direct-to-consumer parts and accessory sales, heavier penalties and civil remedies for counterfeiting, original equipment manufacturer sourcing standards tied to auditability and compliance, insurance and warranty cost containment initiatives, and aging vehicle fleets driving replacement parts demand. Key trends in the forecast period include radio frequency identification-enabled item-level tagging, near field communication smart labels for consumer verification, quick response code-based unique serialization and digital product passports, nano-optic diffractive holography with covert microtext features, and forensic molecular taggants and isotopic chemical markers.

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.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The quick escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting strain in trade relations in spring 2025 are considerably influencing the Paper, Plastics, Rubber, Wood And Textile sector by inflating costs for imported pulp, resin, synthetic rubber, lumber, and cotton key inputs with limited domestic substitutes. Packaging manufacturers, for example, now pay more for plastic films and corrugated materials, squeezing margins in an already price-sensitive market. Textile producers face similar challenges, as tariffs on imported yarns and dyes compound pressures from rising labor costs. Some firms are shifting to recycled materials or biodegradable alternatives, while others consolidate suppliers to negotiate bulk discounts.
