Dublin, Feb. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Security Printing Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Security Printing Market was valued at USD 29.78 billion at a CAGR of over 4.5% during the forecast period, 2021 - 2026. Polycarbonate is broadly used for secure ID documents, offering ideal resistance against attacks, a wide range of security features, and an extended lifetime. Various players are improving the technology to strengthen the security features and will reflect the trend in the future.
The tourism sector is addressing growth due to factors such as the growth of budget airlines and an increase in the number of air travelers around the globe. Also, according to the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), International tourist arrivals worldwide increased 6% in 2018 to 1.4 billion. Consequently, the demand for visas and passports to avoid identity-related frauds is expanding. This is leading to extensive security printing involving proof certificates to prevent terrorist activities and maintain the integrity and security of national and international borders.
Law enforcement combined security regulations are a significant factor in driving this market. In some cases of banknote counterfeiting, high-security materials and complete banknotes are sourced under false deceit from the security printing industry. This underlined a clear need for banknote printing companies and security substrate producers to take the necessary steps to verify the bonafide nature of orders with the relevant issuing institutions. For instance, Project S-Print assigned by Interpol brings together a law enforcement community and the security printing industry to reduce the proliferation of counterfeit currency and security documents worldwide.
The transition toward a cashless economy, digitization of identification cards, and strict certification related to security paper may hamper the growth of the security printing industry over the forecast period.
