Case Packing Machines Market Report 2026

The case packing machines market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.98 billion in 2025 to $1.05 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of packaged food and beverage production, rising labor cost pressures, demand for higher packaging throughput, availability of modular packaging machinery, growth in FMCG manufacturing.

The case packing machines market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.37 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in smart factories, rising demand for sustainable packaging solutions, expansion of e-commerce driven packaging needs, growing focus on packaging line efficiency, increasing adoption of robotics in packaging. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of fully automated case packers, rising use of robotic pick-and-place systems, expansion of high-speed packaging lines, growing demand for flexible packaging formats, integration of vision-guided inspection.

The rising demand for automation is expected to drive the growth of the case packing machines market going forward. Automation refers to the use of technology or machines to perform tasks with minimal or no human intervention. The demand for automation is increasing due to the need for higher operational efficiency as businesses aim to reduce costs, minimize errors, and enhance productivity. Case packing machines support automation by streamlining end-of-line packaging operations, ensuring precise product placement and consistent case sealing. They reduce manual labor by enabling faster, more accurate packing processes, improving overall production efficiency and reliability. For instance, in September 2024, according to the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based non-profit organization, 4,281,585 robotic units were operating in factories globally in 2023, marking a 10% increase from 3,904,000 units in 2022. Therefore, the rising demand for automation is driving the growth of the case packing machines market.

Major companies operating in the case packing machines market are focusing on advancements in digital technologies, such as vision-guided robotic case packing, to enhance speed, accuracy, and flexible changeovers. Vision-guided robotic case packing integrates cameras, real-time software, and servo motion to locate and orient products on the fly, synchronize multi-axis robots, and execute recipe-driven, error-proof changeovers with minimal human input. For instance, in November 2024, Delkor Systems, a US-based manufacturer of advanced robotic packaging machinery, launched the EVO Series Case Packer, a vision-guided robotic case packer. It is a modular, servo-driven machine engineered with a simplified mechanical architecture that minimizes moving parts, increasing reliability and easing maintenance. It features an intuitive touchscreen HMI with recipe-driven changeovers, enabling rapid switching between different package patterns and case sizes with minimal manual effort and operator intervention.

In July 2024, ATS Corporation, a Canada-based automation solutions company, acquired Paxiom Group for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, ATS Corporation aims to strengthen its end-of-line offering, particularly case or tray packing and palletizing, by integrating Paxiom’s portfolio of case packers and related automation solutions. This allows customers to deploy faster, more flexible secondary-pack solutions across food, beverage, and pharmaceutical operations. Paxiom Group is a Canada-based packaging machinery company providing case packing machines.
