According to Stratistics MRC, the Filling Machines Market is accounted for $1.17 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $1.70 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period. In comparison to filling pouches, bottles, and alternative merchandise as needed, filling machines are a type of packaging device designed for packaging products like food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and other products. They are available in several modes of operation, including automatic, form-fill-seal, and semi-automatic.
According to the Packaging Gateway (2019), the packaging sector in India is expected to develop at an annual rate of 18%, with flexible packaging growing at a rate of 25% and rigid packaging rising at 15%.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Versatility of Filling Machines Driving Global Filling Machines Market
Filling machines are usually used for packaging in various industries as they minimise packaging time compared to the use of separate machines for each purpose, such as equipment for creating packages, filling finished products, and finally sealing. Additionally, they reduce the requirement for material handling equipment and the floor space needed for large or bulky machinery. Filling machines are popular not only because they can package a large number of units rapidly but also because they can produce packaging that is visually appealing. In accordance with the needs of the final product's packaging, a single filling machine can produce packaging in a variety of forms and sizes.
Restraint:
High Capital and Maintenance Cost to Hinder Growth Globally
Due to the high cost of the machinery, the packaging business requires significant capital investments. As the majority of packaging companies adopt modular filling technology that simultaneously performs labelling and sealing, the overall maintenance cost will rise rapidly, limiting market expansion. The machine's initial cost of purchase will depend on its size and the number of operations it will perform. The current COVID-19 epidemic has caused major economic problems for the packaging industry, and these machines require large capital inputs, whereby startup companies are restricted from purchasing these machines.
Opportunity:
Changes in Lifestyle Contributing to Growth of Filling Machines Market
Personal disposable income growth and lifestyle changes have a significant impact on the market for filling and packaging machinery. There is less time to cook and preserve meals when one has a busy professional life. Therefore, the rising popularity of packaged foods like dairy and fruit drinks is generating profitable opportunities for the manufacturers of filling machines. Water, yogurt, ice cream, and other beverages are among the products that filling machines are frequently used for in the dairy and food industries. The filling machine market is expanding due to the high demand for milk and dairy products across the world.
Threat:
High expenditure and Government regulations
Government regulations governing the food, beverage, and other industries require machine manufacturers to select uniformity in order to maintain product hygiene standards and quality. Ambitious expenditures in the research and development of advanced equipment will also have a significant impact on the market's growth pace.
Covid-19 Impact
Strict lockdowns were implemented as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic to stop the disease's spread. Due to a number of factors, including trade restrictions, governmental prohibitions, a shortage of labour and raw materials, an imbalance in supply and demand, and disruptions in logistics and the supply chain, several end use sectors remained closed throughout the pandemic's peak. Food and beverage and pharmaceutical businesses, for example, which produce necessities, continued to function despite lockdowns. The market for filling machines was positively impacted. Since these are used to fill the recently produced drugs and medications, the demand for bottles and other rigid containers increased during the epidemic. Overall, the market evaluation for filling machines showed a mild impact during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The cosmetics & personal care segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The global market for filling machines is being driven by a rise in cosmetics sales. Cosmetics are generally promoted and sold through product packaging and presentations. Glass material, which needs to be protected from damage, is frequently used in cosmetic packaging. In order to pack their products, cosmetic producers use rigid packaging containers. To preserve their quality until final consumption, deodorants and perfumes are packaged in bottles. Globally, the market for cosmetics and personal care products is growing rapidly. Increased demand for cosmetics and personal care is thus expected to positively impact the world market for filling machines.
The liquid filling segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Because of the significant volume of liquid products manufactured in several industrial sectors, including beverages, chemicals, pharmaceutical drugs, and cosmetic products, the liquid filling segment is predicted to grow at the highest CAGR. Furthermore, beverages, milk, cosmetics, personal care items, liquid medicines, and chemicals are packaged in a variety of attractive anti-corrosive packaging solutions, providing safe and hygienic products.
Region with largest share:
Due to the presence of large companies, improved growth potential is driven by favourable government regulations, increasing industrial automation, and the country's significant food and beverage industry. The U.S. is one of the top markets within North America, contributing to market growth in this region.
Region with highest CAGR:
According to a sales analysis of filling machines, the market in Asia Pacific is being driven by an increase in demand for food and beverages as well as the entrance of various international and local packaging manufacturers. Additionally, modern advancements in China and India have boosted this region's market. Furthermore, the rise in consumer awareness of clean food packaging is driving demand for filling machines in these countries. Other favourable filling machine market factors in this region include increased government initiatives and R&D spending.
