Automatic Blow Moulding Machine Global Market Report 2025

The automatic blow moulding machine market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.95 billion in 2024 to $2.05 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for plastic packaging in the food and beverage sector, increased use of blow-molded products in household applications, growing consumption of personal care products packaged in plastic bottles, expansion in bottled water consumption, and greater use of lightweight plastic containers in logistics.

The automatic blow moulding machine market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.47 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth expected in the forecast period can be linked to increasing demand for sustainable and recyclable packaging, higher usage of plastic containers in the pharmaceutical industry, accelerating urbanization and lifestyle changes in developing countries, growth of e-commerce, and rising consumption of ready-to-drink beverages in PET bottles. Key trends during the forecast period include technological advancements in blow moulding machinery, innovations in energy-efficient machine designs, increased investment in research and development for automation, development of machines compatible with recycled plastics, and the adoption of Industry 4.0 and smart factory technologies.

The growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions is expected to drive the growth of the automatic blow moulding machine market in the coming years. Sustainable packaging refers to materials and systems designed to reduce environmental impact by using renewable, recyclable, or biodegradable materials, minimizing waste, and promoting efficient resource use. The rise in sustainable packaging is fueled by increasing environmental concerns, efforts to reduce plastic waste, and stricter government regulations. Automatic blow moulding machines support sustainable packaging by minimizing material waste through precise control, enabling the use of recyclable and bio-based plastics, enhancing energy efficiency, and fostering circular economy practices. For example, in January 2023, Protega Global Ltd., a UK-based packaging company, reported that 81% of consumers demand sustainable packaging, with 73% of UK consumers specifically valuing paper or cardboard packaging as a key measure of a brand’s sustainability. Thus, the growing need for sustainable packaging is propelling the growth of the automatic blow moulding machine market.

Leading companies in the automatic blow moulding machine market are focusing on innovative technologies such as all-electric extrusion blow molding systems to improve efficiency and flexibility. An all-electric shuttle extrusion blow molding machine uses electric servo motors to precisely control the extrusion and molding processes, offering better energy efficiency and faster cycle times compared to traditional hydraulic machines. For instance, in June 2024, R&B Plastics Machinery, a US-based blow molder manufacturer, launched the RBS-E550D all-electric shuttle extrusion blow molding machine, which aims to enhance energy efficiency, precision, and production flexibility. This machine features a compact design, tri-layer extrusion capability, individual servo-electric wall thickness controls, and advanced in-machine deflating, providing energy-efficient, precise, and flexible solutions for small- to medium-sized packaging applications. It also includes a servo-electric part takeout system and a touchscreen industrial PC for intuitive operation and reduced manual labor.

In January 2024, Jwell Machinery Co. Ltd., a China-based plastic processing machinery provider, acquired Kautex Maschinenbau GmbH for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition seeks to combine Jwell’s strong manufacturing capabilities with Kautex’s expertise in extrusion blow molding technology to boost global competitiveness and expand product offerings. Kautex Maschinenbau GmbH is a Germany-based manufacturer specializing in automatic blow molding machines, including extrusion and injection blow molding equipment.

An automatic blow moulding machine is a manufacturing device used to create hollow plastic products, such as bottles and containers, by inflating heated plastic within a mold cavity. The machine operates automatically, managing the entire process - from feeding and heating the preform to moulding and ejecting the finished product - without requiring manual intervention. This automation leads to high production efficiency, consistent product quality, and lower labor demands.

The primary types of automatic blow moulding machines include fully automatic and semi-automatic blow moulding machines. Fully automatic blow moulding machines perform the entire process from heating to molding and ejection without manual input. This category includes various machine types such as single-stage, two-stage, and hybrid blow moulding machines. They utilize different technologies including extrusion blow molding, injection blow molding, stretch blow molding, and reheat blow molding. These machines serve a wide range of end users across industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, automotive, consumer goods, cosmetics, and personal care.
