Pack Conveyors Market Report 2025

The pack conveyors market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.81 billion in 2024 to $9.38 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth during the historic period was driven by factors such as the rise in online grocery sales, expansion of the dairy industry, increasing demand for quick turnaround packaging, government investments in smart manufacturing, and the growing need for packaging of ready-to-eat foods.

The pack conveyors market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.94 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. In the forecast period, growth is expected to be fueled by the expanding e-commerce sector, increased automation in warehousing, the rise in pharmaceutical manufacturing, growing demand for faster and more efficient logistics, and the increasing demand for consumer packaged goods. Key trends anticipated during this period include the integration of cobots (collaborative robots) in packaging lines, advancements in smart sensor-based conveyors, the adoption of AI-powered conveyor sorting systems, the development of silent and low-noise conveyor systems, and the incorporation of lidar technology for conveyor navigation.

The expanding e-commerce industry is expected to drive the growth of the pack conveyors market. E-commerce refers to the buying and selling of goods and services online, including marketplaces, retail websites, and digital transactions. The sector is experiencing rapid growth, fueled by the increasing adoption of digital technology and widespread internet access. Pack conveyors are vital for automating the movement of packages within fulfillment centers, sorting facilities, and distribution hubs in the e-commerce industry. They efficiently transport goods from packing stations to shipping areas, reducing manual labor and speeding up order processing. For example, in February 2025, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that U.S. retail e-commerce sales in the fourth quarter of 2024 reached $308.9 billion, reflecting a 2.7% increase from the third quarter. As e-commerce continues to grow, the demand for pack conveyors is also increasing.

Companies in the pack conveyors market are focusing on innovations such as tubular drag conveyors to improve efficiency, sanitation, and maintenance. A tubular drag conveyor is designed to transport bulk materials through a sealed tube using a series of discs attached to a chain or cable. For instance, in November 2024, Hapman, a U.S.-based industrial equipment company, launched the CablePro tubular drag conveyor, designed for the gentle and efficient transport of delicate food products. This conveyor meets strict sanitation standards and includes FDA-approved components, self-lubricating UHMW disks, and a sealed design that supports clean-in-place protocols. It can also integrate with other Hapman systems, such as bulk bag unloaders and posi portion feeders, optimizing material handling processes.
