The form-fill-seal equipment market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for form-fill-seal equipment has witnessed robust growth in the previous years. It is projected to rise from $17.81 billion in 2024 to $18.91 billion in 2025, escalating at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The driving factors for growth in the past were due to industry rules, cost-effectiveness, market rivalry, product variety, and globalization.
The Form-Fill-Seal Equipment market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for form-fill-seal equipment is predicted to experience significant expansion in the forthcoming years, reaching $24.61 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%.
This development during the projected period can be accredited to various factors including automation and industry 4.0, sustainability, flexibility and individualization, health and sanitary measures, the rising popularity of convenience foods, along with digitization and remote overseeing. Key trends projected for this period consist of global market augmentation, the integration of smart manufacturing, adherence to regulatory laws, consumer-focused designs, and the emphasis on health and cleanliness.
The rise in the commercial preference for packaged goods is propelling the progression of the form-fill-seal equipment market. Packaged items, those loaded into containers or pouches and used consistently by the consumer, rely on form-fill-seal equipment for their packaging, contributing to its growing market. The boom in demand for these packaged goods, therefore, fuels the expansion of the form-fill-seal equipment industry. The National Center for Biotechnology Information, a US entity that provides access to genomic and biomedical information, reported in June 2023 that consumer demand for pre-packaged food in Australia has been escalating steadily. This trend is based on substantial annual data collections from four major supermarkets that together command about an 85% market share. Each year, over 20,000 products are carefully monitored and examined using a special Data Collector App, underlining a strong upward trend in consumer preference for convenience, diversity, and quality in packaged food options nationwide. In conclusion, the burgeoning demand for packed goods is accelerating the growth of the form-fill-seal equipment market.
