The growing demand for secure packaging in India's e-commerce industry has also increased the demand for product authenticity in transit. Manufacturers are adopting advanced technologies such as holograms, QR codes, barcodes, RFID tags, and tamper evident seals on an increasingly widespread basis to combat counterfeiting. Government regulations and its initiatives such as record initiation of track and trace mechanism in pharmaceuticals guzzle, mandatory labeling standardization in certain sectors have also contributed positively to speeding growth of the market.The "Make in India" campaign has attracted local manufacturing and innovation to the ACP market.
