Packaging machinery industry

Packaging equipment has evolved into a highly fragmented and competitive industry. With the growing acceptance of different packaging materials and container forms, emerging markets require different types of packaging solutions and suppliers to drive consumer engagement through innovative and sustainable packaging. 

Consumer and industrial products and services companies seek packaging partners with expertise in materials, structural design, and automation to optimise packaging performance and sustainability. 

Packaging machinery trends

The rising demand for online goods, shifting consumer preferences, growing industry regulations for recyclable and reusable packaging, and an increasing interest in alternative eco-friendlier packaging materials to plastic are together driving the integration of advanced technologies into packaging. 

With growing initiatives for the circular economy worldwide, companies are adopting innovative packaging solutions to limit the packaging volume and minimise the weight, while optimising product safety, hygiene, and consumer preferences. 

Packaging lines are also being increasingly equipped with disruptive technologies such as automation, artificial intelligence, and blockchain to reduce packaging costs while improving processes and increasing efficiency.
