Major trends in the forecast period include high-speed flexible packaging demand, automation in packaging lines, smart packaging integration, compact multi-format machines, sustainable packaging material compatibility.

The rising demand for packaged products is driving the growth of the form-fill-seal equipment market. Packaged products are items packed in pouches or containers for everyday consumer use. Form-fill-seal machinery is essential in the packaged goods industry for efficiently packaging these products. For example, in June 2023, the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a US-based organization providing access to biomedical and genomic information, reported that in Australia, consumer demand for packaged food has been steadily increasing. Data from four major supermarkets, which together hold nearly 85% market share, tracked over 20,000 products annually using a dedicated Data Collector App, highlights a strong upward trend in consumer preference for convenience, variety, and quality in packaged foods. Therefore, the growing demand for packaged products is fueling the form-fill-seal equipment market.

Leading companies in the form-fill-seal equipment market are emphasizing technological advancements, such as modular automation systems, to improve production efficiency, consistency, and precision in packaging operations. Modular automation systems consist of flexible, configurable modules that can perform various production tasks, helping companies enhance efficiency, reduce downtime, and scale or customize operations easily. For instance, in August 2023, Kiefel GmbH, a Germany-based machine manufacturing company, launched the SOLUTIONPERFORMER KFS, a modular form-fill-seal machine capable of producing up to 6,000 infusion, parenteral nutrition, or dialysis bags per hour. The system features automated bag making, filling, and sealing, a compact design, and high-quality output. SOLUTIONPERFORMER KFS enhances operational efficiency, increases throughput, and ensures standardized packaging quality for medical fluid applications.
