Market Insights
Stringent Regulations and Criteria for Implementation of Serialization
Globally, pharmaceutical companies are adhering to the regulatory compliance for serialization to ensure anti-counterfeiting and traceability of drugs. Most developed and developing economies have either already laid out the regulatory roadmap for serialization or are in the process of doing so. A few examples of government regulations mandating the serialization of medical products include:
In the US, the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) started in 2013. The DSCSA defines the requirements for an interoperable electronic system to identify and trace pharmaceutical products throughout their distribution in the country. As part of the requirements, pharmaceutical products must be marked with a National Drug Code (NDC), serial number, lot number, and expiration date. The entire supply chain is expected to be electronically integrated, and all nodes of traceability are to be established by November 2023. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandates manufacturers to track specific devices through the entire distribution chain when and if they receive an order from the FDA to implement a tracking system. These devices could belong to Class I, II, or III.
The European Union (EU) has followed suit with a compliance requirement by enacting the Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD). Unit-level serialization and dispenser authentication have been mandated.
Component-Based Insights
Based on component, the track & trace solutions market is bifurcated into hardware and software. The software segment held a larger market share of track & trace solution in 2022 and is anticipated to register a higher CAGR during the forecast period (2023–2028). Hardware is an essential component in Track & Trace solutions for pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, medical devices, and other products. The most significant advantage of asset-tracking hardware is it assists in minimizing the loss of an enterprise-critical asset. Incorporating asset-tracking hardware into an asset, then integrating it with the accompanying asset-tracking IoT software provides real-time location information of the asset.
Likewise, track & trace software is used for various purposes and offers complete management of the entire serialization and aggregation process. The solutions provide flexibility, whether they have a single line with limited connectivity or require software for monitoring all processes across multiple production lines. The software delivers all necessary documentation and information to meet compliance. The track & trace software are used for pharmaceuticals, production, food & beverage, and seafood. Rfxcel Corp.; METTLER TOLEDO; and JDA Software Group, Inc are among the companies that offer Track & Trace software. The software provides benefits such as reduced administration and increased confidence for quality events, faster containment of quality events with a broader purview of exposed products, and protection of customers and brand image.
Enterprise Size-Based Insights
Based on enterprise size, the global track & trace solutions market is bifurcated into SMEs and large enterprises. The large enterprises segment accounted a larger market share for track & trace in 2022. The SMEs segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period.
Application-Based Insights
In terms of application, the track & trace solutions market is categorized into serialization and aggregation. The serialization segment held a larger market share in 2022, and it is expected to register a higher CAGR during the forecast period.

The market growth in this region is attributed due to the presence of large players launching innovative products (particularly related to track & trace), growing product introduction in the region, and technological advancements in track & trace solution. In North America, the US records maximum share for the track & trace solution. In the US, batch-level tracking has been mandatory since 2015, with package-level serialization obligatory since 2017. According to the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) report, the unit-level traceability of the supply chain is expected to be done in the US by 2023.
According to the US FDA report, food traceability comprises the movement of food products and their ingredients at every step in the supply chain. Therefore, the US market highly adopts track & trace through the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), addressing rapid and effective tracking and tracking of the food. Also, FSMA section 204, "Enhancing Tracking and Tracing of Food and Recordkeeping" instructs the FDA to develop additional record-keeping requirements for certain food products. Therefore, Food Traceability Final Rule establishes a standardized approach for traceability recordkeeping, adopting, harmonizing, and leverage digital traceability systems in the US for food & beverages sector.
