For the success of every market, the involvement of all of the market stakeholders is equally important. In the case of anti-counterfeit tobacco packaging solutions market, the participation of governments, tobacco product manufacturers and providers of anti-counterfeit packaging solutions are equally important. The governments across several countries and states have noticed the immense revenue loss caused due to the unchecked circulation of tobacco products.

Europe has been the largest market for anti-counterfeit tobacco packaging products, and Asia-Pacific is the second largest market.

The track and trace framework of governments of various countries have become more efficient. Though, significant white spaces remain globally, which makes Visiongain conclude that a double-digit growth will be observed during the forecast period."
