The bottling equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.96 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for ready to drink beverages, growth of cosmetic and personal care products, adoption of smart bottling lines, expansion of high capacity production plants, regulatory compliance requirements. Major trends in the forecast period include high speed integrated bottling lines, aseptic and hygienic filling systems, flexible multi format bottling equipment, automation of packaging and palletizing, reduction of product waste.

The growing demand for packaged beverages is expected to drive the growth of the bottling equipment market in the coming years. Packaged beverages are drinks that are pre-filled, sealed, and sold in containers for consumer use. This increasing demand is fueled by rising urbanization and on-the-go lifestyles, as consumers look for convenient, portable, and ready-to-consume drinks that fit into their busy routines. Bottling equipment optimizes the filling, sealing, and labeling processes, ensuring fast, hygienic, and consistent packaging. This enhances production efficiency while preserving the quality of packaged beverages. For example, in 2024, according to the British Soft Drinks Association, a UK-based trade association, soft-drink volume sales reached 15.34 billion litres in 2023, marking a 2.9% year-on-year increase, while value sales totaled 19.82 billion GBP (≈ US$ 25.33 billion). Hence, the rising demand for packaged beverages is fueling the growth of the bottling equipment market.

Key players in the bottling equipment industry are emphasizing the development of cutting-edge solutions such as fully automated bottling lines to improve production performance and cater to the growing need for faster, cleaner packaging processes. A fully automated bottling line is a comprehensive system that handles all bottling stages - cleaning, filling, capping, labeling, and packaging - without human input, utilizing advanced machinery and control systems. For instance, in January 2024, STM GROUP, a Poland-based bottling line manufacturer, introduced a new series of fully automated beer bottling lines. This high-performance line, capable of processing 6,500 bottles per hour, includes components such as the TES STM DPL-S-GLASS-6 depalletizer, STM ArrowGlass 24/24/6 ISO BEER filler for low-oxygen applications, automated quality checks, air knives for drying, a Newtec labeling system, the Rafaello cartoning machine, and the TES STM PAL0 palletizing unit. This launch signifies a major technological advancement for the brewery sector and reflects STM GROUP’s dedication to innovation.

In August 2024, ProMach Inc., a US-based company specializing in packaging machinery and integrated solutions, acquired MBF for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move allows ProMach to utilize MBF’s specialized knowledge and production capacity to address the growing global demand for advanced filling technologies, thereby reinforcing its position as a global leader in packaging automation. MBF is an Italy-based producer of sophisticated bottle-filling and capping machines.
