END-OF-LINE PACKAGING MARKET ANALYSIS

The end-of-line packaging is advanced machinery used in the overall production of various other product. They can be fully automated or semi-automated. The fully automated system includes safety controls, machine vision, and even remote monitoring in turn contributing to production of quality products. They reduce the need for labor as they are fully automated and reduce the chances of human error thus increasing efficiency in the overall process. They are widely used across automotive, packaging, electronics & semiconductor, food & beverages, and pharmaceutical industries.

Global end-of-line packaging market was valued at US$ 4.5 Billion in 2021 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of  4.7% during the forecast period (2022 to 2030).

Drivers

The rising adoption of automation in the packaging industry is expected to fuel the market growth of end-of-line solution. Packaging is very important across various manufacturing industries due to the high demand for enhanced productivity and operation. Automation helps in increasing overall productivity and reducing the degree of manual operation. Thus, rising adoption of automation in the end-of-line solution is expected to propel the market growth.

Growing need to reduce the workforce and production cost is expected to augment the market growth of the end-of-line solution. End-of-line packaging solutions reduce the requirement of constantly training a new workforce and enable to emphasize more on value-adding tasks, which in turn reduce the chances of risk due to human error and enhanced the overall production process. This is expected to fuel the market growth of end-of-line solution.

COVID-19 is a global public health emergency which has affected almost every sector and these long-term effects are expected to impact growth of market during the forecast period. But, the end-of-line packaging industry had a positive impact on their market growth during and post COVID-19 period. Growing consumption of packaged food and beverages is especially driving the end-of-line packaging market growth because packaging protects the product, although factors such as fluctuating prices of raw material may obstruct the market growth during the pandemic.
