Packaging Automation Market Size is valued at 83.82 billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach 224.89 billion by the year 2034 at a 10.5% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
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.
Some of the major key players in the packaging automation market are
The packaging automation market is segmented on the basis of offering, automation type, and industry vehicle. Based on the offering, the market is segmented into solution, wrappers, filling, case sealers & erectors, sleevers & cartoners, markers & labelers, strappers, palletizer and depalletizer, automated mailer systems, case packers, services, consulting, support & maintenance, installation & training.

Based on industry vehicle healthcare & pharmaceuticals, healthcare & pharmaceutical manufacturing companies, contract manufacturing organizations, e-commerce & logistics, e-commerce, contract packaging, logistics companies, food & beverage, automotive, chemical & refinery, aerospace & defense and others.
The subcategory of solutions is anticipated to have the biggest market share. Due to the growing significance of minimizing unscheduled downtime through optimized maintenance scheduling and failure prevention, increasing throughput by identifying performance bottlenecks, reducing production and manufacturing defects, and improving overall product quality, this sector of the packaging automation market is expanding. The solution category is anticipated to have the greatest CAGR over the forecast period.
The market for packaging automation is anticipated to be dominated by the robotic pick & place automation segment. This market's expansion is attributable to elements like better product handling, variety, and adaptability as compared to traditional automation. It also minimizes the need for manual product loading into a packaging machine. This lowers labor expenses and boosts an industry's production, which justifies the accompanying expense.
The European region is anticipated to dominate the market over the forecast period. The rapid adoption of new technology by the general public, the presence of numerous manufacturing industries, and the availability of packaging automation providers in the region are all contributing factors to the market's rapid growth in Europe. These businesses provide a variety of automated packaging systems. Besides, due to the region's expanding use of products and services in the manufacturing, e-commerce, and healthcare sectors, Asia-Pacific is predicted to see a significant CAGR over the projection period. The growing need for packaged goods and beverages in the country, which is projected to be one of the factors driving the adoption of packaging automation in the Asia-Pacific market, makes corrugated packaging even more essential.
