Get your copy of the new whitepaper, "Security the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain: How Advanced Tamper-Evident Solutions Combat Counterfeiting and Ensure Compliance in 2026"
New research outlines increases in global vulnerabilities caused by complex distribution networks, cold-chain logistics, and sophisticated criminal activity.
BOWLING GREEN, OH, UNITED STATES, January 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- NovaVision, a manufacturer of advanced tamper-evident and authentication solutions, has released a new whitepaper detailing the escalating security challenges facing pharmaceutical supply chains in 2026. The report arrives as regulators and industry leaders confront significant increases in global counterfeiting activity, supply chain fraud, and operational vulnerabilities linked to the growing complexity of pharmaceutical distribution. The full whitepaper is available for download here: Whitepaper Link.
Counterfeit pharmaceuticals now account for up to 10% of the global medicine market, representing an illicit economy valued between $200–$431 billion annually. Last year, authorities documented more than 6,400 incidents of counterfeiting, diversion, and theft worldwide, highlighting both the maturity of criminal networks and the pressure on manufacturers to adopt more sophisticated security measures.
“Pharmaceutical supply chains are at an inflection point,” said Kelly Hall, Interim CEO at NovaVision. “As distribution networks expand and regulations evolve, companies must rethink packaging security not just as a compliance requirement, but as a strategic capability. Our latest whitepaper outlines the technologies and best practices that are proving most effective in today’s threat environment.”
Regulatory Convergence and Compliance Demands
The report analyzes regulatory momentum across major markets, including the U.S. Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) and the EU Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD). Both frameworks are accelerating the industry’s shift toward full product traceability, standardized serialization, and package-level tamper-evident features.
A key insight from the whitepaper is the increasing divergence in verification expectations between regions. While the EU requires product verification prior to dispensing, the U.S. system relies on targeted verification for returned or suspect products, creating operational variability that global manufacturers must manage.
“Regulatory divergence is forcing companies to design packaging security that is flexible, interoperable, and scalable,” the report notes. “This complexity continues to drive demand for integrated solutions that streamline both compliance and product protection.”
Security Technologies Delivering Measurable ROI
The whitepaper highlights a range of technologies gaining traction among global pharmaceutical brands, including holographic authentication, embedded microtext, label-integrated tamper indicators, and structural packaging designs that incorporate security features directly into cartons and closures.
Industry data referenced in the report shows that advanced tamper-evident systems can reduce tampering incidents by up to 40%, improve consumer trust by 25%, and deliver a 15% reduction in packaging compliance costs. Meanwhile, real-time visibility technologies, such as serialized tracking, IoT sensors, and blockchain-based verification, are identified as emerging differentiators for manufacturers seeking resilience against diversion and cold-chain failures.
Strategic Recommendations for 2026 and Beyond
The whitepaper concludes with a series of strategic guidelines, encouraging manufacturers to implement multi-layered security architectures, align early with evolving regulatory requirements, and collaborate with specialized security partners capable of supporting cross-market compliance.
