Growing Adoption in Pharma and Life Science Sectors Drive Europe Artwork Management Software Market

There is a rising demand for medicines and other life science elements worldwide. In the pharmaceutical industry, packaging & labeling are highly recognized as a mission-critical process, which assists the organization to frame strategic goals for attracting more customers. New rules and regulations emerge with the rising frequency of label changes, increasing the use of an artwork management system to lower human errors, reduce discrepancies in processes, and improve label quality & business agility.

Additionally, the medical device companies have to comply with regulatory requirements such as the European Union's MDR systems and Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD), the Food and Drug Administration's Unique Device Identification (UDI), and Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) to maintain the smooth operations of pharmaceutical and life science sectors. Thus, to cater to the above government regulation and increase the efficiency and accuracy of packing and labeling of healthcare products, various companies are increasingly adopting artwork management software. For instance, in July 2020, enLabel Global Services announced a strategic partnership with MediaJet and Epson to produce on-demand patient implant cards. Under this partnership, through the Integrated Packaging Management (IPM) Software Platform, enLabel can help Epson and Media Jet to deliver best-in-class, end-to-end solutions for color label printing in the medical device and healthcare industries. Further, various pharma companies are using artwork management software. Janssen (Johnson & Johnson), Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Abbott Nutrition, and Endo are among the prominent companies using the artwork management software by Loftware, Inc. for their pharma business. Therefore, the growing adoption of artwork management software by pharma and medical device manufacturers is fueling the market growth.
