6th Annual Pharma Anti-Counterfeiting & Serialisation 2017
Counterfeit drugs have become a US$200 billion a year global industry, which despite ongoing crackdowns by the authorities is a growing problem. According to a report it is predicted the global anticounterfeit packaging market in food and pharmaceuticals is forecasted to attain market value of $142.7 bn by 2020 from $57.4bn in 2013, growing at 13.9% CAGR during 2013 to 2020.
Using identification, authentication and traceability initiatives on the packaging line and through the supply chain to the pharmacy level requires high quality serialisation data. Manufacturers need to invest in serialisation solutions that maintain the integrity of the data throughout the packaging process. By implementing productised, configurable and expandable solutions that leverage a PES infrastructure, manufacturers can protect data integrity while also meeting new demands quickly and cost-effectively and maintaining operational efficiency.
This conference overviews and integrates the business and technical problems that pharmaceutical companies should be aware of in order to fight the major global problem of counterfeit medicines. In addition to discussion of the problems, this conference addresses serialisation, track and trace analytical techniques scientists use to detect counterfeits and identifying solutions to the threat of counterfeit medical products.
