The machines that automate packaging are the subject of the packaging machinery market . This market supplies the individual workhorses that, when integrated, form a complete packaging line.

Key Machine Categories

The [LSI keyword: packaging machinery market] is diverse. Form-fill-seal (FFS) machines: form a bag from a roll of film, fill it with product, and seal it. The packaging machinery market for "vertical" FFS (for pouches) and "horizontal" FFS (for pillow packs) are both significant. Cartoning machines: erect cartons, fill them (with bottles, pouches, or items), and close them. The packaging machinery market for "horizontal" cartoners (continuous motion) is the largest. Case packing machines (as described). Palletizing machines (as described). Wrapping machines (stretch wrappers, shrink wrappers). The packaging machinery market for "shrink" wrapping (using heat to shrink film around a product) is used for bundling. The packaging machinery market for "labeling" machines (applying pressure-sensitive or glue-applied labels) is a large segment. The packaging machinery market for "capping" machines (for bottles and jars) is also significant.

The packaging machinery market is segmented by machine type, by industry, and by automation level. The packaging machinery market for "integrated" lines (a single vendor supplying multiple machines) is growing, as it simplifies integration. The packaging machinery market for "retrofit" (adding automation to an existing line) is also significant.

Industry 4.0 in Packaging Machinery

The packaging machinery market is embracing Industry 4.0. The packaging machinery market for "smart" machines (with sensors and communication) is growing. The packaging machinery market for "OPC UA" (a communication standard) allows machines from different vendors to talk to each other. The packaging machinery market for "remote" diagnostics allows machine builders to troubleshoot problems without sending a technician. The packaging machinery market for "augmented reality" (AR) (using a tablet to overlay instructions on a machine) is used for maintenance. As the packaging machinery market continues to evolve, the focus will be on "energy efficiency" (reducing power consumption), on "hygienic" design (for food and pharma), and on "recyclability" (machines that can process recyclable materials). The pharmaceutical segment is the fastest-growing vertical . The packaging machinery market is the toolset for building the automated packaging line.
