Key Market Trends and Analysis:
- Versatility of Cup-Filling Machines: Cup-filling machines demonstrate versatility by accommodating diverse products in the food & beverage industry, including dairy products, sauces, juices, bakery items, and more. This flexibility allows manufacturers to reduce costs associated with multiple devices for different products, enabling quicker response to market demand and changing consumer preferences.
- Evolving Dietary Habits and Lifestyles: Busy lifestyles have led consumers to adopt quick and easy meal solutions, prioritizing packaged food products for their convenience, cost-effectiveness, and reduced cooking time. Cup-filling machines play a crucial role in producing packaging that meets the demand for easily accessible and preserved food items, catering to urbanization and the growing adoption of ready-to-eat food items.
Factors Restraining Demand for Cup-Filling Machines:
- High Initial Investment: The costliness of cup-filling machines poses a challenge for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), making it difficult to finance the initial investment required for equipment purchase and installation.
- Maintenance Costs: Cup-filling machines require routine maintenance and servicing to ensure optimum operation, leading to potential deterrents for companies, especially those with limited funding, due to high maintenance expenses.
- Complexity of Technology: High-end cup-filling machines often feature intricate features and technologies, posing challenges for operators in terms of operation and maintenance without proper training.
Demand Upsurge in Food and Beverage Sectors.
The food & beverage packaging industry is growing modestly, as such, the adoption of cup-filling machines in food and beverage sectors is projected to hold a voluminous share by 2029 end. Manufacturers of cup-filling machines are following consumers’ preference for convenient food items. Further, rising prominence of singleton households in countries, including South Korea, and Japan, indicate the need for specific-sized packaging products.
FMI discovers notable upsurge in demand for dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, ice cream, and curd, in developing countries, despite steady consumption in western countries. The food and agriculture organization (FAO) of the United Nations reveals that worldwide milk production is expected to observe significant uptick in 2022, majorly led by India, and the US.
Automatic and Semi-Automatic Cup Filling Machines Remain Sought-After
The market of cup filling machines has been undergoing drastic transmutation with advent of industrial automation. Manufacturers are turning to state-of-the-art machinery that is time-, and cost-efficient. FMI finds that automatic and semi-automatic cup filling machines hold ~99% market share, with the former maintaining its supremacy throughout forecast period. Whilst semi-automatic cup filling machines are witnessing faster adoption rate, automatic iterations are generating returns that are twice as much.
As labor expenses in developing regions are high, food & beverage producers are shifting away from manual cup filling machines, which contribute negligibly in overall market revenue. In a bid to enhance their throughput, industrial operators are turning to automatic and semi-automatic cup filling machines.
Analysts at FMI suggest that ‘Demand for cup filling machines tends to surge in line with rising inclination towards ready-to-consume food & beverages. Further, manufacturers are developing automatic and semi-automatic iterations to facilitate high-speed packaging.’
