Marking and Coding Equipment Market

MD, UNITED STATES, November 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ --
The global marking and coding equipment market is poised for robust expansion through 2035, propelled by stringent regulatory mandates, supply chain transparency demands, and advancements in high-speed printing technologies. According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the market is valued at USD 7.8 billion in 2025 and is projected to hit USD 13.8 billion by 2035, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%.

The FMI report, “Marking and Coding Equipment Market Size, Share, and Forecast 2025–2035,” reveals an absolute revenue increase of USD 6.1 billion over the decade, representing a 78.2% total growth. This nearly 1.78X expansion is driven by escalating needs for product traceability in pharmaceuticals, automated identification in food & beverage, and anti-counterfeiting solutions across consumer goods.

A Decade of Growth Anchored by Serialization Mandates and Laser Innovation:

Pharmaceutical serialization and track-and-trace systems are accelerating adoption, with laser marking and continuous inkjet (CIJ) technologies leading the charge. From 2025 to 2030, the market will grow by USD 2.8 billion, capturing 45.9% of the total forecast expansion amid rising regulatory compliance in pharma packaging.

Between 2030 and 2035, FMI projects an additional USD 3.3 billion in growth, supported by IoT-enabled smart coding, high-resolution inkjet for flexible substrates, and Industry 4.0 integration in manufacturing lines.

“Serialization is no longer optional—it's a core supply chain imperative,” said an FMI research analyst. “Laser and CIJ systems deliver permanent, verifiable coding that combats counterfeiting while ensuring seamless data aggregation.”
