Smart Labelling in Logistics Market Report 2026

The smart labelling in logistics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.1 billion in 2025 to $7.51 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of global logistics operations, increased use of barcode-based identification, rising demand for accurate inventory tracking, growth in cross-border trade, adoption of digital logistics solutions.

The smart labelling in logistics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.34 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in smart supply chain infrastructure, rising demand for end-to-end shipment visibility, expansion of cold chain monitoring applications, growing adoption of nfc-enabled consumer engagement, increasing focus on traceability and compliance. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of rfid-based tracking solutions, rising deployment of nfc and smart qr labels, growing integration of real-time inventory visibility systems, expansion of cloud-based label management platforms, enhanced focus on supply chain transparency.

The expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) integration is expected to propel the growth of smart labelling in logistics market going forward. IoT integration refers to the process of connecting and coordinating Internet of Things (IoT) devices and systems to enable seamless data exchange and automation. The increase in IoT integration is due to several factors, such as advancements in technology, increasing connectivity, reduced costs of IoT devices, and the growing demand for smart solutions across various industries. Smart labels in logistics enhance IoT integration by providing real-time data and seamless connectivity for tracking, monitoring, and managing goods throughout the supply chain. For instance, in August 2025, according to Eurostat, the Luxembourg-based statistical office of the European Union, 70.9% of people in the EU used internet-connected devices or internet of things (IoT) in 2024, with the Netherlands reporting the highest usage at 94.8%. Therefore, the expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) integration will drive the growth of smart labelling in logistics market.

Major companies operating in the smart labels in logistics market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as unified visibility platform-based labeling to improve supply chain efficiency and accuracy. Unified visibility platform-based labeling refers to a system that integrates and provides comprehensive, real-time tracking and management of goods across the supply chain through a single, unified interface. For instance, in May 2024, Roambee Corporation, a US-based supply chain visibility and intelligence provider, launched a 5G global positioning system (GPS) smart label with a peel-and-ship design measuring 4 inches by 6 inches. This advanced label utilizes 5G technology, GPS, and sensors calibrated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to monitor environmental factors including temperature, humidity, shock, and light, providing exceptional real-time visibility for shipments. It functions similarly to a barcode, allowing users to easily scan the label for shipment information without requiring complex infrastructure such as printers. The smart label seamlessly integrates with Roambee's unified visibility platform, delivering accurate insights into the estimated time of arrival (ETA), shipment quality, and security throughout the entire supply chain.

In September 2025, Trackonomy Systems Inc., a US-based technology company, acquired InPlay Inc. for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Trackonomy sought to enhance its smart labeling and asset visibility offerings by integrating ultra-low-power Bluetooth semiconductor technology to strengthen its product portfolio and support broader deployment across logistics and supply chain use cases. InPlay Inc. is a US-based technology company that specializes in developing ultra-low-power Bluetooth Low Energy system-on-chip solutions used in smart labels, asset tracking devices, and industrial Internet of Things applications.
