Report overview
Segments covered: type, function, automation mode, end-use industry, automation, end-use. Regions: Asia-Pacific, Europe.
The growth of this market is driven by the increase in goods manufacturing across industries, favorable government regulations for product safety, and technological advancements in fill-finish manufacturing processes. However, high initial costs associated with installing packaging machinery and stringent regulations to limit plastic usage restrain the growth of the global packaging machinery market.
The rising foodborne diseases and increasing demand for processed and packaged products are expected to create growth opportunities for the players operating in this market. However, the lack of skilled operators is a major challenge for market growth.

Market dynamics
3 factors across 1 forceThe growth in foodborne illness has
been linked to improper food packaging. Human interventions during food packaging may degrade food quality due to contamination by human hair, sweat, and nails or the lack of proper hygiene. Several countries, including India, the U.S., and China, are witnessing an increased prevalence of foodborne illnesses. Each year, the consumption of unsafe food causes 600 million cases of foodborne diseases resulting in approximately 420,000 deaths. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, foodborne diseases account for an estimated 76 million cases, 350,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths in the U.S. every year. Around 30% of deaths due to foodborne illnesses occur among children under five years of age. The WHO African Region is estimated to have the highest burden of foodborne diseases by population. More than 91 million people are estimated to fall ill, with 137,000 deaths recorded each year. Diarrheal diseases account for more than 70% of the burden of foodborne diseases in the African region. Therefore, governments across the globe are implementing regulations and policies to ensure the safety of food meant for human consumption.
Government agencies around the globe are
undertaking initiatives to reduce the incidence of foodborne illnesses. In 2021, the U.S. FDA was focused on strengthening its ‘New Era of Smarter Food Safety’ strategy, continuing its expanded use of whole-genome sequencing, taking swift steps to combat outbreaks—particularly as more new food-risk factors were implicated, increasing its attention on the safety of imported food products (as well as restaurant and retail establishments), and better understanding the animal produce-risk connection. Also, in 2021, Phase 3 of the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) was to be implemented to bring a large number of sectors that were previously outside the regulations (baked goods, confections, snack foods, cereals, processed products) under the scope of licensing and preventive control programs. Such policies and regulations support the adoption of packaging machinery as it reduces the need for human interventions that may contaminate food or deteriorate food quality.

- This can help to reduce packaging costs over time.
By Function
- The multi-function segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the capabilities of machines to perform various tasks such as vertical form-filling-sealing, horizontal packing, bag placing, and rotary packing.
By Automation Mode
- The global packaging machinery market is segmented into automatic and semi-automatic packing machines.
- The automatic packing machines segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
- One of the main advantages of automatic packing machines is that they can significantly reduce labor costs and improve efficiency in the packaging process.
- These machines are also known for their reliability and consistency in producing high-quality packaging.
By End-use Industry
- The healthcare & pharmaceuticals segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
- The growth of this segment is attributed to the implementation of stringent regulations on product labeling and safety concerns.
- The use of packaging machinery in healthcare and pharmaceuticals is essential to maintaining the safety and efficacy of medical products.
- Manufacturers can also increase efficiency, reduce labor costs, and ensure consistency in the packaging of their products.
- Additionally, specialized packaging machinery in healthcare and pharmaceuticals can help meet regulatory requirements and maintain compliance with industry standards.
