Bakery Packaging Machine Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Packaging Type (Primary Packaging, Secondary Packaging, Tertiary Packaging), Mode of Operation (Semi-Automatic, Automatic) and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Bakery Packaging Machine Market is accounted for $2.53 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $3.63 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. Bakery packaging machines are the machines used to pack a variety of bakery products such as breads, biscuits & cookies, and so on. There are various types of machines used at the different stages of packaging, including primary, secondary, and tertiary.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Evolving food consumption patterns

Modern lifestyles and evolving food consumption patterns are influencing consumers to buy ready-to-bake products. This, in turn, is anticipated to drive the demand for frozen bakery food packaging machines in the upcoming years. Bake-off retailers such as bakery chains, restaurants, and supermarkets prefer frozen breads, buns, and pastries as economic alternatives to serve their customers with value added and nutritious bakery food. Moreover, working women across developed and emerging economies prefer frozen bakery products such as cookies, cakes, and muffins as a light snack during working hours.

Restraint:

High cost requirements

High cost of technology and R&D is the key challenge for bakery packaging machine manufacturers across the global market. The requirement of high initial investment for machinery is restricting the growth of the market.

Opportunity:

Rising demand for tailor fit packaging

Fully automatic bakery packaging machines, which are fast and easy to clean are being used for tailor fit packaging wherein insert filled, standalone, flat-bottomed packages are required. These operations help in smoothening the task for packaging bakery products. Flow wrap filling and sealing machines are largely preferred for packaging biscuits and cookies. Rising demand for tailor-made horizontal machines and loading systems is expected to drive the growth of the filling and sealing machines segment during the forecast period. Key manufacturers are frequently engaged in extensive R&D activities to develop innovative bakery packaging machines to target potential buyers. Automatic bag sealing machines are witnessing increased sales. Automatic bakery packaging machines can be used easily, are extremely simple, and guarantee superior quality finished products. Vertical form fill and seal machines are engineered to pack bakery food in attractive pouches and trays of different styles. Clean labeling of bakery goods is on the rise in Europe.

Threat:

Need for regular inspection and maintenance

As bakery packaging machines such as filling and sealing machines comprise numerous components, they require regular inspection and maintenance by an expert team of engineers. Moreover, consistent maintenance is highly recommended to avoid unplanned downtime and costly repairs. Factory personnel must receive appropriate training from bakery packaging machines manufacturers to identify malfunction and resolve system breakdown. Moreover, additional costs are involved for aftermarket services, including failure investigation, replacement of components, and troubleshooting of temperature and air pressure issues.

The tertiary packaging segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Tertiary packaging is a type of wrapping which protects the manufactured products. Tertiary packaging is used to smooth the progress of the transport and safe handling of goods or grouped packaging. Transportation and protection of goods are the main purposes of tertiary packaging. Tertiary packaging prevents physical damage occurred during transport and faulty handling. Tertiary packaging of the goods changes with product type, mode of transportation and storage services.

The labeling machines segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Labeling machines dispense and apply or print and apply labels on numerous types of packaging containers as well as display, transit, and point-of-sale packs. Labels are used to brand, decorate, or provide valuable information about the product or the brand to customers. Favorable regulations such as the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and the Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA) for traceability and serialization are likely to drive the demand for labeling machines.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share owing to the rapid population growth, coupled with the increasing household spending capacity, is expected to drive the demand for packaged consumer products, which is, in turn, anticipated to bolster the market growth in the region. Moreover, the burgeoning pharmaceutical and personal care industries in the region are expected to drive the market. The demand for packaging machines in China is likely to witness growth in the coming years on account of the rapid expansion of the e-commerce sector in the country. In addition, improving standards and requirements of food processing and safety and packaging technologies, coupled with favorable government policies on energy savings and technology and equipment upgrades, are expected to complement the market growth.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR due to the significant demand for highly automated and integrated machines delivering increased efficiency and higher processing speeds with lower energy consumption. Factors such as fast-paced life in the European nations, increasing demand for ready-to-eat meals, and ascending consumption of healthy and organic food products are anticipated to drive the demand for packaging machines in the region. Moreover, the high demand for automated, efficient, and flexible packaging machines from several end-use industries is anticipated to spur market growth over the coming years.
