Research and Markets: Today We See Electrical Battery Testers, Electronic Anti-Theft and RFID Tags as the Most Important Sectors of Electronic Smart Packaging; But They Are Only the Beginning.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c21414) has announced the addition of Electronic Smart Packaging to their offering.

Already over 50 billion packages have been fitted with electronic smart packaging devices - and now the market is really taking off. This Electronic Smart Packaging report exclusively analyses this extraordinary situation based on the imminent commercialization of the toolkit of technologies which will open up the industry. This includes printed electronics - such as disposable laminar batteries, sensors, displays and circuits - as well as other electronic features such as anti-theft tags and RFID smart labels. These devices are enabling innovative low-cost or disposable packaging to enhance brands, meet new legislation, change consumer lifestyles, beat crime and much more.

Electronic Smart Packaging follows on from our introductory report, Smart Packaging, and reflects the current situation of global electronic smart packaging. The report deals with what will be the dominant market sector - packaging incorporating electronic features. Today we see electrical battery testers, electronic anti-theft and RFID tags as the most important sectors of electrical and electronic smart packaging; but they are only a beginning. A wealth of features and a transformation of the human interface with moving colour images, speech, and other dramatic interfaces will transform the way that packaging is currently presented.

This report shows how electronic and electric smart packaging enhances the traditional functions of packaging - to protect, inform, and promote - but also achieves much more. Conventional electronic components will be replaced by printable circuits and displays that will be cheap enough to be disposable - great news for the packaging industry.
