Global Packaging Equipment Market Surges to USD 63 Bn — APAC Leads, Europe, USA, and Saudi Arabia Follow
The packaging equipment market is undergoing a transformative shift, driven by automation, sustainability, and regional manufacturing growth.
NEWARK, DE, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The global packaging equipment market is entering a new era of innovation and scale, with Asia-Pacific at the forefront of this transformation. Fueled by rising demand across food, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors, the market is projected to grow from $42.6 billion in 2025 to $63.0 billion by 2035, reflecting a steady CAGR of 4.0%. This growth is not just quantitative—it signals a qualitative shift toward smarter, more sustainable packaging solutions that align with global supply chain modernization.
Key Market Insights at a Glance
By 2035, fillers will dominate the equipment landscape, capturing 22.9% of the market share, while food and beverage applications will lead with 31.4%. The market’s resilience is underscored by consistent year-on-year growth, even amid global disruptions. Automation and digital integration are no longer optional—they are central to operational efficiency and regulatory compliance. As manufacturers seek to reduce waste and optimize throughput, packaging equipment is evolving into a strategic asset rather than a cost center.
Regional Value Drivers: Asia-Pacific’s Manufacturing Momentum
Asia-Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of the packaging equipment market by 2035, driven by robust manufacturing ecosystems in China, India, and Southeast Asia. The region’s rapid industrialization, coupled with government incentives for automation and sustainability, has positioned it as the global hub for packaging innovation. India’s pharmaceutical exports and China’s food processing boom are catalyzing demand for high-speed, hygienic, and modular packaging systems. Meanwhile, local players are investing heavily in smart factories, further accelerating regional adoption.
