The global bottling line machinery market is experiencing growth due to increasing requirement of packaged goods. With consumers turning towards convenience with both beverages and foods, the demand for packaged and ready to consume products such as beverages, processed foods and pharmaceuticals continues to grow around the world. This trend is fuelled further by Urbanisation, changing lifestyles and growing middle-class population in emerging economies. In response to this increased demand, producers are focusing on implementing innovative higher-speed, more precise, and cost-effective bottling solutions. Knowledge about idiosyncrasies of modern day safe bottling procedures that ensures long shelf periods, and compliant with all guidelines of products. Additionally, the increase in e-commerce sales and on-the-go consumption are making it important for companies to innovate packaging formats which are attractive as well as functional. With the increasing dependence on ready to consume packaged goods among various industries, there arises a need of scalable automated bottling lines with capability to cater multi container types & sizes which ultimately places a bottling line machinery as a critical part of global supply chain.

Restraint

• Rapid urbanization and shifting lifestyles in emerging markets are fueling demand for packaged goods, driving growth in the bottling machinery market.

Demand for packaged goods is expected to surge due to rapid urbanization, and changing consumer lifestyles in emerging markets which is expected to expand the growth of bottling machinery market. With increasing urbanization, the demand for ready-to-drink beverages, packaged drinking water, and convenient foods is growing which is in turn driving the need for high speed bottling solutions. Moreover, the modern retail formats and e-commerce platforms in these regions are also boosting the need for scalable packaging operations. To cater to the increased demand for such beverages, local manufacturers are investing heavily in improved bottling technologies. Moreover, developing economies’ governments are also backing industrial automation and infrastructure development which paves the way for the adoption of bottling machinery. Therefore, original equipment manufacturers (OEM) are catering to these markets with customized solutions hence, creating a new business avenue and globally expanding the footprint of bottling line machinery industry.

Opportunities

• Rapid urbanization and lifestyle changes in emerging markets are driving increased demand for packaged goods, boosting the bottling machinery market.

Growing urban population coupled with changing consumer lifestyles in emerging market are fueling the demand for packaged products, thus creates an enormous scope of growth for bottling machinery market. With growing urban clusters (especially in the Asia-Pacific, Latin America and parts of Africa), there is an increased demand for convenience-based ready-to-consume products such as bottled drinks, sauces and pharmaceuticals. The rising disposable incomes, lifestyle of a busy life, and modern retail formats are driving this shift. In response to this growing demand from these regions, manufacturers are investing in high-speed bottling lines with improved efficiency, automation, and flexibility. At the same time, multinational companies are increasing activity in these markets, stimulating even higher demand for local production high capacity bottling lines. Moreover, government initiatives for industrialization through infrastructure developments as well as foreign investments would boost the overall supply chain for bottling machinery. Thus, new and emerging economies are the biggest drivers of global market expansion.

Challenges

• Supply chain disruptions can delay the availability of critical components and materials, affecting the production and maintenance of bottling machinery.

Supply chain disruptions result in the unavailability of significant components and raw materials for the manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance of the bottling line machinery which poses the biggest challenge in the bottling line machinery market. Geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, labor shortages, and transportation bottlenecks can make deliveries take longer, costs to increase, and production slow down. Higher supplier lead time will delay the mechanism upgrading time and also influence the after-sales service support, particularly in those regions, which are more dependent on imported equipment. Secondly, the prices of metals and electronic components are volatile due to the imbalance of supply and demand, which puts pressure on the budget and schedule of each project. More advanced resilience strategies such as the localization of future supply networks combined with strategic inventories to hedge against risk are receiving greater attention from both manufacturers and end users. Nonetheless, persistent supply chain complexities continue to be a hurdle for maximizing operational throughput and maintaining the supply to meet demand at all times.
