Digital Product Passport Market Size

The global digital product passport market was valued at USD 183 million in 2024 and is estimated to register a CAGR of 22.6% between 2025 and 2034.
 

Digital Product Passport Market

The increasing focus on circular economic principles is prompting companies to reconsider the design, usage, and disposal of their products. A circular economy prioritizes waste reduction and material recycling, in contrast to the traditional linear model of take, make, and dispose. Digital Product Passports play a key role in facilitating this shift by providing detailed information about a product’s materials and recyclability. By tracking products from their creation to their disposal, digital product passport supports businesses in designing products that are easier to repair, repurpose, or recycle.
 

As an example, the EEA has noted some progress of Europe towards a circular economy. In 2023, 11.8% was noted which shows Europe is participating heavily in the consumption of recycled materials.
 

Governments around the globe are imposing stern regulations that ensure companies adopt the use of digital product passports. The need to improve traceability and transparency is principal driver for new regulations in a variety of textiles, electronics, and automotive businesses.
 

The EU has mandated the Digital Product Passport to be used on every product sold by 2026. Therefore, businesses are being subjected to growing pressure to comply with new standards for data on a product, including origin, material sourcing, environmental impact, and recyclability. This regulatory change is forcing companies to implement technologies that guarantee compliance with strict requirements.
 

Digital Product Passport Market Trends

  • Technologies like blockchain and NFC are also developing very rapidly. Therefore, it is now easy for businesses to implement these digital product passports. The blockchain technology enables safety and immutability of data about products. NFC provides an effortless method for consumers to access and touch information about the product. They make the adoption of digital product passports more feasible for companies in fashion and electronics, automotive, and pharmaceutical.
     
  • For instance, In January of 2025, Ligne Roset a French luxury furniture brand launched Digital Product Passports to authenticate its Togo Loveseat with unique QR codes and blockchain technology.
     
  • Consumers today are far more eco-friendly and expect higher levels of transparency in the products that they buy. The expectation to know is all about where this product comes from, what the environmental impact is, what material it's made of, and if it comes from some kind of ethical source.
     
  • Companies adopting this trend position themselves as sustainability leaders and fulfill consumers' expectations for transparency. Several indexes measure companies' performance against environmental, social, and governance criteria, such as the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and the FTSE4Good Index.
     
  • These indexes help customers to measure companies' commitment to sustainability. For example, in the European Union, such regulations as Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation push industries towards applying Digital Product Passports. Requirements like this led to more stringent standards of transparency and traceability throughout product lifecycle stages, so companies are forced to disclose information on sourcing, manufacturing, and disposal.
     
  • As environmental sustainability becomes the new global policy, it is not a choice that businesses have any longer, they must adapt to digital product passport to be in tandem with legal standards and gain trust from consumers.
     

Digital Product Passport Market Analysis

Based on component, the digital product passport market is divided into software and services. In 2024, the software segment held a market share of over 60% and is expected to cross USD 900 million by 2034.
 

  • Businesses adopt software solutions to manage and share product information more efficiently. On May 23, 2023, KPMG and Circulor announced a partnership to enhance supply chain traceability and create sustainable value chains. The collaboration focuses on industries such as battery manufacturing, where the competition for raw materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel is intensifying.
     
  • Circulor’s digital battery passport software ensures essential raw materials are tracked across the full product lifecycle, thus complying with the EU Battery regulation and U.S. Clean Vehicle Tax credit requirements.
     
  • DPP software expansion would not have been possible without the integration of AI and blockchain technologies. AI boosted the data analysis, and blockchain enabled effective product information management by eliminating the opportunity to alter the information which is why it is used in supply chains.
     

Based on organization size, the digital product passport market is categorized into SMEs and large organizations. The large organizations segment held a market share of around 60% in 2024.
 

  • Large enterprises, especially in sectors like manufacturing, automotive, and electronics, have made significant investments in digital product passport solutions to improve transparency, monitor product lifecycles, and comply with sustainability regulations. For instance, multinational companies such as Siemens and Bosch have adopted digital product passport systems to ensure traceability and adhere to the European Union’s circular economy policies.
     
  • Additionally, large organizations have focused on data security and integration, which has increased the demand for enterprise-grade digital product passport platforms. Businesses in industries like fashion and consumer goods have turned to blockchain-based digital product passport solutions to verify product origins and combat counterfeiting.
     
  • As an example, a British luxury knitwear brand, Chinti and Parker, has implemented the use of product QR codes in the autumn/winter collection of 2024. Customers can scan the QR code on the label of the garment to access information on the product’s origin, materials, and supply chain. Chinti and Parker pioneered the integration of digital product passports with individual QR codes in January 2025.
     

Based on application, the digital product passport market is segmented into product traceability, sustainability, and consumer engagement. The regulatory compliance segment dominated the market accounting for over USD 50 million in 2024.
 

  • This is mainly due to the increasing emphasis on environmental, safety, and traceability regulations that companies need to comply with. Digital product passport solutions help companies meet their legal requirements of providing complete traceability of products in their whole life cycle, as governments enforce stricter laws regarding sourcing, recycling, or sustainability around the world.
     
  • This has resulted in the growth of many sectors like automotive, electronics, and manufacturing. Take for example the European Parliament, which in July 2024 brought forth essential requirements for textiles as part of their initiative under the DPP (Digital Product Passport).
     
  • In relation to the European Green Deal and Circular Economy Action Plan-The DPP for textiles aims to record every textile product digitally, which promotes sustainability by addressing the environmental issues concerning the fashion industry.
     

Based on life cycle stage, the digital product passport market is segmented into product design, distribution, production, production, end of life. The end-of-life segment held a market share of around 30% in 2024.
 

  • This was mainly driven by increasing sustainability concerns, regulatory pressures, and the growing need for transparent product disposal and recycling processes. As companies and governments focused on reducing environmental impact, managing a product’s end-of-life stage became critical.
     
  • One key reason for this is the circular economy push, where companies are required to track products throughout their lifecycle, including disposal and recycling. The end-of-life phase, which includes product recycling, reuse, and responsible disposal, is critical for ensuring sustainability goals are met.
     
  • For example, Toyota introduced Digital Product Passport solutions for tracking the recycling and reuse of car parts at the end of their life cycle, helping the company meet sustainability targets.
     
  • The product design, distribution, and production stages are important, but the significant market growth in the end-of-life segment reflects the increasing focus on sustainability and circular economy practices.
     

North America dominated the global digital product passport market with a major share of around 35% in 2024 and U.S. leads the market in the region.

 

The growth of the market can be attributed to several factors, such as large investments in sustainability and transparency across industries. U.S. companies have rapidly adopted Digital Product Passport solutions to meet regulatory requirements and attain sustainability goals.
 

  • The growth of the market can be attributed to several factors, such as large investments in sustainability and transparency across industries. U.S. companies have rapidly adopted Digital Product Passport solutions to meet regulatory requirements and attain sustainability goals.
     
  • For instance, in July 2024 PicoNext introduced a generative artificial intelligence feature for its Digital Product Passport platform to streamline the process of creating Digital Product Passport from raw product data. This AI capability automatically analyses and summarizes data into sustainability metrics, helping companies save time and costs when preparing Digital Product Passport.
