Market Restraining Factor:
High cost and the technical failures of the packaging machinery is expected to hinder the growth of the market
The overall cost of packaging machinery is quite high as it included the cost of manufacturing and the cost of implementation, due to this, several small and medium-sized manufacturing units is expected to restrict themselves from adopting the automated and advanced packaging machinery. In addition, technical failures of such machinery is expected to incur more expenses to the manufacturers, which is expected to hamper the demand for packaging machinery.
End Use Outlook
Based on End Use, the market is segmented into Food, Beverages, Pharmaceuticals, Chemicals, Personal Care and Others. The food segment procured the highest revenue share in the market in 2020. The increasing number of product launches and the expansion in the retail network is expected to fuel the demand for packaged food, which is expected to further accelerate the growth of the market. The increasing consumption of beverages, expansion in the range of beverages, and the shifting preference of the consumers towards functional & organic beverages are some of the driving factors for the growth of the segment. The introduction of innovative and new products by various beverage manufacturers is estimated to fuel the demand for extremely advanced and flexible packaging machines to cater to these product portfolios.
Machine Type Outlook
Based on Machine Type, the market is segmented into Filling, Cartoning, Wrapping, Palletizing, Labeling, Form-Fill-Seal, Bottling Line and Others. The form-fill-seal segment is expected to exhibit the highest growth rate during the forecast period. Factors such as rise in popularity of flexible packaging and higher preference for single serve packages are responsible for the growth of this segment. These form-fill-seal machines are developed to make packages with the material transferred from a roll, fill it with the product, and seal it. The majority of such machines make the primary package like a bag or a pouch, utilizing a flexible film.
Regional Outlook
Based on Regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa. North America is projected to record a promising growth rate in the packaging machinery market during the forecast period. The growth catalyst for regional market is increased demand for fully automated and integrated machines that provide higher efficiency and processing speeds with less energy consumption.
