The food industry abides by the to the stringent government rules to maintain a safe and hygienic atmosphere in the food packaging process. Furthermore, governments across different countries are implementing various laws & regulations about food equipment hygiene due to the rising concerns about foodborne diseases. For instance, in 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) enacted Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). This new regulation allows the FDA to recall, suspend production, and audit foodservice providers. Similarly, the ‘food contact materials’ safety concept was introduced by European Union (EU), which states that any materials that come in contact with food such as packaging & processing machines, cutlery, and dishes, must ensure basic requirements established by the EU government. For instance, all substances used in the production of plastic food packaging have to undergo a safety assessment by the (European Food Safety Authority) EFSA before they are authorized in the EU. This will encourage food manufacturing companies to design and install food equipment keeping food hygiene in mind.

SEGMENTATION

By Equipment Type Analysis

 “Food Filling Equipment is Projected to Grow at a Higher Rate During the Forecast Period”

Based on equipment type, the scope of the study is classified into filling, bottling, case cartoning, labeling and palletizing.

The filling equipment segment is expected to grow at a higher pace in the near future due to the need to convert food products into desirable packaging for maintaining the food quality and accessibility. Filling machines are designed for handling solid foods, liquid foods, or powder. For instance, tea bag filling equipment is used in the tea production line to achieve high-speed packaging, in order to reach economic throughput. The demand for filling equipment is also increasing in the beverage industry for bottle filling operations. Bottle filling equipment is also useful in dairy and beverage industry for packaging of the aerated/ carbonated drinks and pasteurized dairy products.

The food labeling equipment segment is projected to witness remarkable food packaging machinery market growth owing to the requirement for providing nutrition fact label about the product, it's manufacturing, and expiry date, offering detailed information about the product safety. Food case cartoning equipment is a packaging machine that is used to form cartons, including close cartons, folded cartons, or sealed cartons, etc. Such equipment are primarily used in meat & poultry, and the bakery industry to pack food products, including pizzas, cakes, and raw meat, etc.
