The past year marked a significant step forward for Africa’s market security, authentication, and brand-protection ecosystem.
As global and regional markets navigate economic pressures, supply-chain vulnerabilities, and rising illicit trade, the demand for secure packaging, digital verification, and compliance technologies continues to accelerate.

The global authentication and brand-protection market is projected to reach USD 3.7 billion by 2026, up from USD 2.5 billion in 2021.

Across Nigeria and West Africa, industry estimates value the anti-counterfeiting and product-security market at USD 670 million, growing at 15–20% year-on-year — driven by regulatory reforms, industrial expansion, and increased consumer-safety requirements.

At the African Anti-Counterfeiting & Market Security Summit, delegates experienced a full programme of case studies, policy discussions, and technology showcases, alongside interactive formats such as speed networking and sector-focused roundtables.
