The rise in demand for packaged food products is expected to drive the growth of the wicketed bagging machine market going forward. Packaged foods are processed products stored in sealed boxes, bags, or containers to maintain freshness and offer convenience. Demand for packaged foods is increasing due to consumers’ preference for quick, ready-to-use meal options suited to busy lifestyles. Wicketed bagging machines support packaged food production by automatically filling, sealing, and stacking pre-opened bags to ensure fast and consistent packaging. For example, in April 2024, data from the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS), a US-based trade association, showed that total industry foodservice sales accounted for 26.9% of in-store sales in 2023, an increase from 25.6% in 2022, with prepared food sales rising by 12.2% per store per month, making it the top-performing category. Therefore, the rise in demand for packaged food products is contributing to the growth of the wicketed bagging machine market.

The increase in e-commerce is also expected to fuel the growth of the wicketed bagging machine market going forward. E-commerce refers to the online buying and selling of goods and services and the electronic transfer of funds or data. Its growth is driven by increasing internet access, widespread smartphone use, convenience-focused consumer behavior, advancements in digital payment systems, and improvements in delivery networks. As e-commerce expands, demand rises for efficient and high-speed packaging solutions, leading to increased adoption of wicketed bagging machines to streamline order fulfillment, enhance packaging efficiency, and meet consumer expectations for fast delivery. For example, in February 2025, the United States Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, reported that total e-commerce sales reached an estimated $1.19 trillion in 2024, marking an increase of 8.1% from 2023. Therefore, the rise in e-commerce is driving the growth of the wicketed bagging machine market.
