About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Smart Labels Market Analysis Report 2025-2031 with Analyst Recommendations - Invest in R&D for Advanced and Customizable Technologies / Strengthen IoT and Cloud Integration Capabilities - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Smart Labels Market (2025 Edition): Analysis By Technology, By Application, By End-Use Industry: Market Insights and Forecast (2021-2031)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Global Smart Labels market showcased growth at a CAGR of 14.04% during 2021-2024. The market was valued at USD 10.09 Billion in 2024 which is expected to reach USD 32.67 Billion in 2031. This report provides a complete analysis for the historical period of 2021-2024, the estimates of 2025 and the forecast period of 2026-2031.

The Global Smart Labels Market is operating within a rapidly evolving ecosystem driven by digital transformation, consumer demand for transparency, and the integration of smart technologies across industries. Smart labels - enabled by RFID, NFC, QR codes, and sensor-based technologies - are transforming traditional labeling by providing dynamic data capture, real-time tracking, and product authentication capabilities.

These functionalities are critical for industries such as retail, logistics, healthcare, and food & beverage, where accuracy, traceability, and efficiency are essential. The market is witnessing strong adoption of RFID labels due to their ability to automate inventory management, reduce shrinkage, and improve supply chain visibility. At the same time, the rise in smartphone penetration and consumer digital behavior is driving the popularity of NFC and QR code labels, which offer interactive packaging and direct-to-consumer engagement through mobile platforms.

Operationally, the smart labels market is shaped by a growing convergence of physical and digital supply chains. Companies are integrating smart labels with IoT platforms, cloud-based inventory systems, and enterprise software solutions to enable end-to-end monitoring, analytics, and process automation. This trend is particularly prominent in e-commerce and omnichannel retail, where brands seek to ensure real-time stock levels, minimize delivery errors, and personalize the customer experience.

In the healthcare sector, regulations such as the U.S. FDA's Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) and the EU's Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) are mandating serialization and authentication, compelling pharmaceutical firms to implement smart labeling systems. Similarly, in the food and beverage industry, demand for freshness monitoring, origin traceability, and regulatory compliance is accelerating the use of sensor-based smart labels and QR-enabled traceability systems.

Regionally, North America dominates the smart labels market due to the early adoption of advanced retail and logistics technologies, the presence of key players like Avery Dennison, Zebra Technologies, and Identiv, and a strong regulatory framework. Europe follows closely with strict food and drug traceability mandates and a strong emphasis on sustainability, which is leading to the adoption of eco-friendly smart labeling solutions. Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region, fueled by booming e-commerce, manufacturing digitization, and smart city initiatives in countries like China, India, and Japan. Meanwhile, the Middle East & Africa and Latin America are gradually embracing smart labeling in retail modernization and healthcare safety, though infrastructure limitations remain a challenge.

The market is also being propelled by continuous innovation in label materials, printable electronics, and flexible sensors, which are reducing costs and expanding use cases. Strategic collaborations among technology providers, packaging companies, and logistics firms are further enhancing the scalability and integration of smart labels. As consumers demand more transparency and regulators push for stricter compliance, smart labels are becoming essential tools for competitive advantage, operational efficiency, and brand trust. The global smart labels market is expected to grow steadily over the next decade, evolving from a value-added packaging solution into a critical component of intelligent and responsive supply chains across sectors.
