Case Packers Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Machine Type (Automatic Case Packers, Robotic Case Packers and Other Machine Types), Product Type (Wraparound, Top Load, Side Load and Other Product Types), End User (Personal Care and Cosmetics, Pharmaceuticals, Homecare, Food & Beverages and Other End Users) and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Case Packers Market is accounted for $1.7 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $2.5 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period. Case packers are machines used for a wide variety of packaging applications to fill cases with products. Various products in different sizes and shapes need to be packaged in larger quantities for easier and more efficient shipping to their destination. The packaging equipment can speed up the entire process of packing up cases with the products so that you can get them out of the warehouse at a much faster rate. Currently, some companies sell case packer.
According to UN, the global population is attributed to reach 8.6 billion. This population is expected to increase the demand for various products like food, household accessories and others, required for our basic needs.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increase in Demand for Foldable Carton board Packaging
Carton board packaging is widely preferred for secondary packaging over any other method, as it is completely biodegradable. It does not necessarily require glue for sealing. It provides a wide and easily printable surface for brand promotion and product details. However, availability of labour has reduced, as case packing machines provide more productive results. The need for packaging more cartons in much lesser time is rising due to the increase in volume of carton board packaging. Thus, rise in demand for carton-board packaging is boosting the case packers market.
Restraint:
More space required
The case packer machine requires a large setup in plants, and the machine is only suitable for large volume production, hence these are only feasible for big industries. The tape is broken during the sealing process, the cutter head extends for too long, the small box is stuck halfway are the challenges with the case packers machine. This factor is restraining the growth of the market.
Opportunity:
Technological Advancements
Several packaging machinery manufacturers are focusing on developing technologically advanced case packers to target a large number of customers. The case packing operation is suitable for high volume of products. It costs much more compared to labour wages. Hence, case packer manufacturers are developing machines that are more economical in order to target packaging firms with small output. This is creating lucrative opportunities for manufacturers operating in the global market.
Threat:
High cost
High price associated with the case packers market can potentially hinder the market growth over the forecast period. The cost of the market depends upon the quality, size, shape, resolution power, among other variables. Further, the price for such instruments also varies largely based on new and refurbished equipment. These are the factors hindering the growth of the market.
Covid-19 Impact
The case packers market has been moderately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic due to supply chain disruption and stringent government regulations. The packaging industry was significantly impacted, as it is directly associated with human interaction. This can be attributed to significant disruptions experienced by their respective manufacturing and supply-chain operations as a result of various precautionary lockdowns, as well as other restrictions that were enforced by governing authorities across the globe. However, food & beverages and pharmaceutical industries remained operational during the COVID-19 pandemic. Shortage in supply of materials resulted in lower production output.
The food and beverages segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The food and beverages segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to these packers are ideal for food and beverage products. Consumption of food and beverages is increasing consistently across the world. Automatic case packers are extensively used in the industry for packing various types of products like beverages, snacks, confectionery items, and others. These machines help in increasing the productivity of the packaging process while ensuring that the products are packed safely and securely.
The robotic case packers segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The robotic case packers segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the rise in popularity of robotic packaging. In robotic case packers, the robotic arm behaves in a similar way as the human arm. Since robotic case packers allow more rotation as compared with the automatic case packers and also form a proper grip, they are favored by the manufacturer for high-end productive operations. These cases are preferred because they are scalable, effective, and ideal for applications that need maximum flexibility.
Region with highest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the improved manufacturing and industrial sectors in the countries. Reliable growth of the market can be attributed to t the expansion of the packaging machinery sector, low cost of case packers offered by manufacturers in the region and high demand for case packers in small-scale industries operating in the region.
Region with highest CAGR:
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to large number of leading product manufacturers present in the sub continent. With large number of product innovations and addition of new products to the existing product line, the regional market is likely to gain traction over the forecast timeframe. Thriving flexible packaging industry in the countries is projected to lead the momentum of market expansion over the anticipated timeframe.
