What are the Historical Developments and Current Growth Metrics of the Packaging Robots Market?

The packaging robots market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In the past few years, the packaging robots market has experienced swift expansion. Its market value is expected to increase from $6.21 billion in 2024 to $6.96 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.0%.
The historic growth has been driven by factors such as manufacturing labor shortages, growing consumer appetite for customization, advancements in both robotics and automation, escalating labor expenses, and rigorous safety and quality regulations.

What Does Future Hold for The Packaging Robots Market Size?

The packaging robots market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for packaging robots is predicted to experience a significant expansion in the coming years, escalating to a value of $11.39 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%.
This predicted surge during the forecast period is due to factors such as the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, growing emphasis on eco-friendly packaging, the prioritization of hygiene in design, the burgeoning of smart manufacturing and the implementation of versatile packaging solutions. The forecast period is further expected to witness major trends such as collaborative robotics (cobots), robotics as a service (RaaS), vision-guided robotics for ensuring quality control, the integration of robotic picking and packing, and the use of blockchain for tracking and tracing in packaging.

What Are The Primary Growth Drivers In The Packaging Robots Market?

The growth of the packaging robot industry is anticipated to be fueled by the expanding e-commerce and retail sectors. The act of buying and selling goods and services through an electronic network or a retail center, which usually refers to the internet and retail outlets, is recognized as e-commerce and retail respectively. The e-commerce industry is flourishing due to shifts in customer tastes, enhanced convenience, and custom experiences. Packaging robots facilitate tasks such as material handling, packaging, and supply chain management in e-commerce warehouses and retail centers. For example, Ecommerce Europe, a Europe-based organization focused on companies that sell products and/or services online to consumers, reported in February 2023 that the e-commerce segment in France (including products and services) brought in €146.9 billion ($159.11 billion) in revenue in 2022, reflecting a 13.8% increase from 2021. Therefore, the surge in e-commerce and retail is projected to stimulate the packaging robot industry.

What Emerging Trends Are Shaping The Packaging Robots Market Landscape?

The primary trend gaining traction in the packing robots market is technological innovation. To fortify their presence in the market, most enterprises in the industry are developing pioneering products. A Switzerland-based company specializing in power and automation technologies for robotics, ABB Robotics unveiled the FlexPicker IRB 365, a class-leading fast robot for picking and packing applications of up to 1.5 kg, in August 2022. It is especially useful for tasks such as handling bottles, sorting packages, and readying packages for the shelf. The IRB 365's capabilities extend to reorienting and placing 1kg of products at a rate of 120 picks per minute. The utilization of ABB's PickMaster Twin software and digital twin technology aids in integrating the IRB 365 into packaging lines in mere hours instead of days, effectively reducing changeover times from hours to just a few minutes.
