The global security printings market size is poised to reach over USD 42 billion in 2028 with a CAGR of 6% over the forecast period, 2021-2028. Security printing is the printing of objects such as banknotes, tamper-evident labels, identification cards checks, passports, security tapes, stock certificates, product authentication, and postage stamps. Increased incidences of counterfeiting and forgery globally are significant drivers pushing adoption of security printing features across verticals. In addition, due to the growth in criminality, financial instruments must be provided through safe printing. Additionally, rising awareness about brand protection practices among corporates due to a series of losses and instances affecting corporate reputation such as brand name duplicity as well as the emergence of new technologies with high-security features, are projected to boost market demand higher. Demand for printed banknotes will increase as the market changes, but the sector must respond to overcapacity and non-cash payment completion. The personal ID market must respond to the demand for innovative printed solutions that can interact with the internet and mobile-based systems. Simultaneously, new rules and requirements are generating intriguing new income sources in the form of tax stamps and trademark protection packaging.

Developed countries will boost their use of hybrid security printing materials to protect the security of their legal and financial documents. Counterfeiting is predicted to skyrocket, with petty criminals manufacturing unauthorized replicas of tax stamps, forged papers, banknotes, and infiltrating supply chains with altered packaging and commodities. This will increase demand for the security printing sector. Many computer systems rely on safe printing, packaging, and sealing to some extent to ensure critical parts of their security. Many software packages are protected against fraud by employing techniques such as holographic stickers, which are designed to break when removed from the package. As a result, security procedures must be implemented to ensure that the product has not been tampered with after leaving the plant, which may be accomplished by security printing. One of the causes for the rising need for security printing is the rise in fraudulent operations by anti-social groups. Counterfeit operations include infiltrating a company's supply chain network, where items with changed packaging are introduced for shipping. Fraudulent operations in tax stamps, falsified papers, and banknotes are also on the rise. Furthermore, rising consumer awareness of different fraudulent activities is expected to open up new prospects for the worldwide security printing market. Security printing, in conjunction with law enforcement, aids in the control and reduction of forgery instances.
