The packaging machinery market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.29% to reach a market size of US$73.034 billion in 2025 from US$53.605 billion in 2019. Packaging machinery is used to packaged final products or components manufactured across varied industries such as automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, electronics, and cosmetics, among others. Urbanization and rising disposable incomes of the people are driving people to raise the demand for packaged products. The packaged products are considered safe and free from damage that could occur during the transit of the products.
This is the major demand driver for packaging machinery. Furthermore, the rapid technological innovations and advancements in the packaging equipment due to investments by companies are also fueling the demand for packaging machinery. For instance, Syntegon Technology will be unveiling two of its latest packaging technologies at Interpack 2020 (International Packaging Fair) in May 2020. The company is aiming to achieve a sustainability goal with this launch. Also, automation-led breakthroughs in the packaging machinery market are expected to boost the demand for such equipment.
