Filling Machines Global Market Report 2024

A filling machine is a type of packaging machinery designed to measure a product from a bulk source according to a predetermined value, such as the level in a container, mass, or volume. Subsequently, the machine dispenses the measured product into a box, bag, or another packaging container.

There are various types of filling machines, including rotary fillers, volumetric fillers, aseptic fillers, net weight fillers, and others. Rotary filler machines guide containers through distinct circular stations, with each station dedicated to a specific function such as filling, sealing, and capping. These machines can operate through manual, semi-automatic, and automatic processes and find applications in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and others.

The filling machines market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.87 billion in 2023 to $8.33 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to the growth of the food and beverage processing industries, a heightened demand for packaged consumer goods, increased automation and efficiency in manufacturing processes, adherence to stringent regulations concerning packaging and labeling standards, and the expansion of the pharmaceutical and personal care industries.

The filling machines market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.54 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The projected growth in the upcoming period is attributable to the expanding market in emerging economies and developing regions, as well as the adaptability and customization options in filling equipment design. The demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable packaging solutions, the surge in e-commerce and direct-to-consumer channels, and ongoing research and development in next-generation filling technologies also contribute to this growth. Noteworthy trends in the forecast period encompass the integration of IoT and Industry 4.0 technologies into filling systems, the adoption of hygienic and Clean-in-Place (CIP) design, the implementation of flexible packaging solutions, aseptic filling for delicate products, remote monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities, and the adoption of weight-based filling for enhanced accuracy and precision.

The rising demand for fast food and packaged food is anticipated to be a significant driver for the growth of the filling machines market in the coming years. Fast food and packaged food, characterized by their convenience in acquisition, preparation, and ready-to-eat nature, have seen increasing popularity. Filling machines play a crucial role in this industry by efficiently filling products into various containers such as bags, pouches, bins, or bottles. For example, India witnessed substantial growth in the export of final food products, particularly in the ready-to-eat (RTE), ready-to-cook (RTC), and ready-to-serve (RTS) categories, reaching over $2.14 billion in the fiscal year 2020-21. The export of products in these categories rose by more than 23% in April to October (2021-22) compared to the same period in the previous year. This surge in demand for fast food and packaged food is a key driver propelling the growth of the filling machines market.

The expanding pharmaceutical industry is expected to be another significant contributor to the growth of the filling machines market. The pharmaceutical sector, involved in the discovery, development, and production of drugs and medicines, extensively utilizes filling machines for accurately filling containers like bottles, vials, ampoules, and syringes with various pharmaceutical products. In August 2023, the global pharmaceutical industry is projected to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%, reaching an estimated $1.6 trillion by the year 2028, according to Evaluate Ltd., a UK-based information services provider. The increased demand in the pharmaceutical industry is poised to drive the growth of the filling machines market.

A key trend gaining prominence in the filling machines market is technological advancement. Companies operating in this market are actively seeking new products with advanced technologies to strengthen their market position. An example of this trend is SIG Group, a Switzerland-based product packaging company, which launched SIG NEO in November 2021. SIG NEO is recognized as the world's fastest filling machine for family-size carton packs, with a speed of up to 18,000 packs per hour. Additionally, it boasts a 25% lower carbon footprint per filled pack compared to SIG's current generation filling machines for family-size packs. This reduction is attributed to lower water and utility consumption and minimal waste rates, reflecting the industry's commitment to technological innovation.

Major companies in the filling machines market are actively involved in developing innovative products to meet the growing demand for filling services. One notable example is the introduction of the PET Filler platform, which allows users to easily modify, adapt, and expand their filling systems to meet evolving needs. This ensures a versatile system that remains relevant for the future. In April 2022, KHS GmbH, a US-based supplier of filling and packaging equipment for glass, PET, kegs, and cans, launched the PET Filler platform. This platform is designed to be flexible, efficient, and sustainable, consuming minimal energy and boasting nearly zero carbon emissions.

In another strategic move in March 2021, Scholle IPN, a US-based company specializing in bag-in-box packaging products, successfully completed the acquisition of Bossar Packaging Pvt. Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to leverage the combined capabilities of both companies, providing a one-stop shopping experience for vertically integrated, sustainable solutions in the global filling machine market. Bossar Packaging Pvt. Ltd., based in the US, is a company offering horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) machines and filling machines designed for pre-made pouches. This strategic move reflects the industry's commitment to innovation and comprehensive solutions to meet the evolving needs of the filling machines market.
