Rise in need of the consumable products has led to increase in the production capacity of the products by the manufacturers. Filling equipment being accurate, consistent and reliable are preferred by the manufacturers for the purpose of filling the consumable material or substance into the holding containers like box, pouch, tube, bottle and others, anticipating the growth of the filling equipment market during the forecast period.However, due to advance software and high quality parts, the cost of the machines is high, which restricts the growth of the filling equipment market
Rising number of companies in the fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) and pharmaceutical production are focusing on increasing the production output of their factories. This has increased the demand for filling equipment, which enables fast filling of the material in the containers such as box, bag, pouch, and bottle with high accuracy. Hence, growing focus on increasing the production output is expected to drive the growth of the market. However, the high cost of filling equipment will restrain the growth of the market. The high cost of the filling equipment because of the atomization of the equipment using programmable logic controller (PLC), feedback systems, and software. Moreover, governments are focusing on the development of small and medium enterprises, which is expected to drive the filling equipment market in future.
The selection of the machine also depends upon the material to be filled by the machine in the holding container. Machines that fill liquid, semi-solid and solid have completely different operating procedure, feeding system and nozzle types. For instance, Coca-Cola Canners in South Africa started bottling sports drinks, iced tea and juices with and without fruit lumps. The manufacturing plant had two existing PET bottling lines, but a new line was needed due to high-pulp content of the juice. Therefore, in January 2017 Coca-Cola bought new filling equipment to match their needs from KHS Group, which is a manufacturer of filling and packaging equipment. Further, pharmaceutical industry needs very precise machines as it is used to fill the substances in liquid or powder form in the medicines.
Further, there are various types of filler machines depending upon the application. For instance, bottle filling is generally done by rotary feeding lines, whereas, cans and food packets are filled with straight feeding line. The type of filling machines used also depends on end-user industry and types of their products. Machines for liquid substances use different operating system, feeding system and nozzle that actually fills the container, can, bag or bottle. Further, in pharmaceutical industries the filling equipment used to fill liquid or powder in medicine bottles and capsules are of very high accuracy. In addition, filling equipment is also used in personal care, chemical, tobacco and other FMCG manufacturing companies.
Region wise, the filling equipment market analysis is conducted across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, the UK, Italy and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, South Korea, India and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa). In 2019, Asia-Pacific contributed the highest to filling equipment market share and is anticipated to secure the leading position during the forecast period, due to a rise in production of FMCG and pharmaceutical products.
