DUBLIN, Nov. 03, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/gtlhbw/pharmaceutical) has announced the addition of the "Pharmaceutical Anti-Counterfeiting Technologies Market, 2015-2025" report to their offering.
The problem of counterfeit products has been a common challenge to all the industries across the globe. However, when it comes to the pharmaceutical industry, the issue primarily revolves around the health of patients rather than revenue losses in the industry. Counterfeit drugs create substantial public health hazards and cause crucial safety concerns. Falsified or substandard drugs can lead to adverse reactions / side effects and consequently lead to the death of a patient.
The report covers multiple aspects such as key features of various technologies, scenario based future outlook of the market, SWOT analysis and our opinion on the likely drivers which will influence the market's evolution. We have provided a holistic view of the market landscape including detailed profiles of leading technologies highlighting the process by which they prevent counterfeiting. Further advancements in such technologies will make them more cost effective, encourage a wider adoption and result in a more mature market in the years to come.
The Pharmaceutical Anti-Counterfeiting Technologies, 2015-2025' report provides a comprehensive study of the growing market of anti-counterfeiting technologies being used in the pharmaceutical industry. This study provides extensive details on technologies which offer overt and covert features to enable verification of drugs. In addition, it reviews the different track and trace technologies which enable tracking of a product through the supply chain. Counterfeiting of products is a big concern in several industries such as electronics, cosmetics, tobacco, wine & spirits and fast moving consumer goods. Specifically, within the pharmaceutical market, the magnitude of the problem is relatively high as it has a direct impact on the health of the wider community. It is worth highlighting that the pharmaceutical market is highly attractive for counterfeiters due to several benefits such as high price of patented drugs, lack of proper legislations and high demand of medicines compared to their supply. The primary goal of anti-counterfeiting technologies is to prevent counterfeiting of products; this is done by making it difficult to copy patent protected drugs as well as preventing entry of substandard or fake drugs into the product supply chain.
In addition to the key benefits and the likely market drivers, this study also highlights some of the challenges associated with the use and implementation of these technologies in the pharmaceutical industry. Certain technologies require modifications in existing production processes and present operational challenges to the manufacturers. Cost is another factor that can significantly restrain the market.
The report also includes two case studies on serialisation. We have looked at the regulations that have been implemented already or are likely to be implemented to prevent counterfeiting. Most of these regulations favour item level serialisation as a task to be accomplished by the pharmaceutical manufacturers in the near future. However, some stakeholders are of the opinion that authentication technologies are much more effective as anti-counterfeiting measures rather than just providing a unique number to each product (the case of serialisation). The report covers various techniques and measures that have the potential to combat the challenges related to counterfeit medicines.
The scenario based forecast approach identifies short-midterm and long term market evolution for the period 2015-2020 and 2020-2025, respectively. The research, analysis and insights presented in this report are backed by a deep understanding of key insights gathered from both secondary and primary research.
