Increasing Number of Packaging-Related Product Recalls Fuel Middle East & Africa Track & Trace Solution Market

Product recalls caused by issues with artwork and packaging are an ongoing problem for many consumer and pharmaceutical companies. The problems can come from several areas, such as non-standardized bills of material, translation mistakes, typos and poor proofreading, expired digital assets, poor printing quality, third-party artwork suppliers, and printing shops.

Product recalls not only cause financial damage to companies but they also harm their status and can cause a drop in sales figures in the future. Stricter regulations, especially in the pharmaceuticals and food segments, and rising consumer awareness about product quality have increased the need for innovative solutions to ensure product safety during the entire value chain. Pharmaceutical labeling errors have generated many headlines. They are the leading cause of product recalls in the pharmaceuticals industry.

Further, Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute estimates that more than 50% of pharma product recalls are related to labeling or packaging artwork errors. These errors are problematic, and the details can lead to significant pharmaceutical packaging and labeling inaccuracies. Common mistakes include gross errors (which occur when necessary information is missing from artwork), content mistakes, context and meaning flaws, and technical errors, such as dysfunctional barcodes. Once a problem occurs, it is necessary to identify the source to avoid reoccurrence. Preventing labeling errors is as crucial as containing inaccuracies in drug development. The RFID labeling can be integrated into highly secure and effective track-and-trace systems to reduce the cases of labeling errors. Thus, the rising cases of product recalls is positively influencing the growth of the track and trace solutions market.
