Governments of various developed and developing countries emphasize the efforts to build the local or regional food value chain market players. Primary initiative of involving innovative business models, that are cost-effective and offer advance product integrity is expected to upshot the demand of filling machines globally. Inclination towards food and beverage products such as milk, fresh fruit and vegetable juices and other beverages require their preservation for long-time usage, thus enhancing the bottle filling equipment’s demand.

Emergence of Machine Vision and IoT Technologies in Food Packaging Industry is Influencing the Market Demand

The rapidly developing beverage industry across the globe will propel the bottle filling machine market growth. These machines are majorly used to fill bottles with various shapes and size with desired drink in food & beverage industry. Modern technologies in the filling machine are IoT, AI and Big Data that depicts lucrative market growth of bottle filling machine. IoT aid to achieve highest level of food safety, along with appropriate monitoring and controlling of beverage distribution.

MARKET RESTRAINT

High Initial Purchasing and Maintenance Cost Inhibits the Market Value

These machines are not only used for filling the liquid product but also used to seal the bottle. The high initial cost of bottle filling and sealing machine is restricting its adoption in various industrial sectors. These machines are integrated with several advanced technologies such as machine vision and IoT, adding up to their overall purchasing cost. Moreover, the complexity of this equipment along with its high maintenance cost is limiting its adoption in the developing countries, hence restraining the market opportunities.

SEGMENTATION

By Bottle Type Analysis

The PET Bottles are Expected to Depict the Highest Growth Rate in the Forecast Period

The global market of bottle filling machine is segmented by bottle type, which is further categorized into PET bottles, glass bottles and others.

PET bottles are anticipated to depict exponential market growth as it is highly valued packaging bottle type, that is cost-efficient and shatterproof. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles are strong, hygienic and consists of anti-bacterial properties, that inhibits the chemical reactions in the food and beverage, and cosmetic products. PET being stable and inert material, doesn’t degrade and leave any harmful substances, hence can be reused and refilled.

Furthermore, the glass bottles are projected to have moderate market growth due to its high sterilized property that enhances the quality of product stored in the glass bottle. Glass bottles can be reused primarily but are non-returnable, thus replaced by PET bottles and have moderate market demand. Moreover, the other (HDPE) bottles are likely to show progressive growth due to the increasing demand and applications in varied business sectors. 

By Application Analysis

Food Products Shows Highest CAGR with Increasing Inclination Towards Better Products Globally

By application, the global market for bottle filling machine is bifurcated into food products, beverage, chemicals & pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Food products are predicted to boost the market of bottle filling machine at a higher growth rate due to increasing demand for packaged healthy ready to eat food products across the globe. Food products packed in PET bottles are easily available and easy to cook using the microwave, thus up thrusts the demand of bottles food products. Beverages have progressive CAGR owing to the need of daily consumption products such as milk, fruits and vegetables juices. Beverages such as carbonated drinks have limited growth as compared to the fresh juices, that offer various health benefits.

Moreover, the chemical and pharmaceutical applications depict progressive growth owing to raising government investments for enhancing this sector, that provide beneficial solutions in the medical sector. Mostly, glass bottles are used to store the chemicals as the glass has anti-corrosive properties, that maintains the quality of the chemicals stored. Furthermore, cosmetic sector is likely to show steady market growth, due to minimum applications and stringent company policies.
