Report ID : 1545 | Published : 2024-04-01 | Pages: 180 | Format: PDF/EXCEL

The Global Packaging Automation Market Size is valued at 76.90 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach 166.14 billion by the year 2031 at an 10.30% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.

Packaging automation is the process of packaging without any human assistance. A brilliant tactic that enables manufacturing or packaging organizations to accomplish more work with fewer resources is to eliminate superfluous employment. Production operations are more productive and efficient thanks to automated devices. Because automated machines are efficient and can cut labor costs and time, manufacturers are increasingly using them to package commodities and products. Automation is being used in the manufacturing sector because of its many advantages, including more flexibility, safer working conditions, rigorous quality, less waste, and inexpensive costs.

Furthermore, based on the demands of product labeling and presentation needs, the introduction of the programming feature in these machines allows diversity and non-repetitiveness of the duties and activities. The expansion of the packaging automation industry is being constrained by the high development and maintenance costs associated with these devices. The overall price of these machines will rise as a result of the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies and the demand for trained labour.

Additionally, adequate and routine maintenance of the machinery is necessary for their ongoing and regular operation, which adds to the cost. Further, the industry's expansion is being hampered by the government's strict restrictions regarding worker safety when automated packing processes are used. All these factors are anticipated to drive market expansion.

Recent Developments:

  • In August 2022, Maxpack Machinery LLC unveiled Leap by Max pack, a ground-breaking piece of packaging machinery that enables the client to pay overtime. Leap is a product that Maxpack created in response to the growing Buy Now, Pay Later market. Premium packages of the automation gear are offered, and payments can be made over an 18-month period without interest or credit.
  • In May 2022, the TSA 400, a newly created compact tray sealer, was unveiled by ULMA Packaging. It is anticipated that it will be featured at the next IFFA 2022. The TSA 400 is a highly adaptable device, according to the manufacturer, capable of working in SKIN, MAP, LEAFSKINTM, and LEAFMAPTM settings.
