Global Form-Fill-Seal Machines Market by Technology (Horizontal FFS, Vertical FFS) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

Global form-fill-seal machine market was valued at USD 7.7 billion in 2018. It is expected to grow at a CAGR (or 7.3%) over the forecast period. This is due to several factors, including increasing disposable income, increased consumer demand for a wide variety of packaged goods, and an increase in automation requirements among many end-use industries. The forecast period will also see a rise in demand for form-fill seal machines due to increasing preferences for smaller portions and single-serve bags.

Flexible packaging machines are essential for manufacturers of consumer packaged goods (CPG). They must be compatible with multiple products and can be used in a small footprint due to the ever-increasing number of product lines. CPG manufacturers are increasingly looking for machines that can handle different packaging styles due to increasing consumer demand. Food manufacturers need to be able to pack the same product in multiple bags to maintain the same production volume. It is therefore important that packaging machine manufacturers provide high-speed systems that can accommodate frequent product and packaging changes. These requirements can be met by form-fill-seal machine because they are fast, compact, and can use a variety of products and packaging materials.

Technology Insights

The market can be divided into two types of technology: horizontal and vertical form-fill–seal. Vertical form-fill seal machines create packages from large rolls of film. The product is then filled into the package and sealed. All steps are done in a vertical fashion. The global vertical form-fill seal technology market was dominated in 2018. It is expected to grow at 7.5% CAGR over the forecast period due to its versatility, speed and smaller footprint. The machines can produce a variety of bag shapes by changing the form tubes and shoulders. Vertical form-fill seal machines are used to pack chips, nuts and Cookies sweets, as well as milk, juices, nuts and screws.

The segment of horizontal form-fill-seal technology was valued at USD3.2 billion in 2018. It is expected to see significant growth over the forecast period due to the large range and volume products that can be packed with this technology. Horizontal form-fill seal machines (also known as flow wrapping machines) are used when product orientation, stacking or breakage is crucial. Horizontal form-fill-seal machines are used to pack many products including food & confectionery, medical, and cereal bars. These machines can be used to modify the atmosphere of the packaging in order increase the shelf life. Horizontal form-fill seal machines include thermoform-fill and blow-fill-seal.

Packaging Type Insights

The form-fill-seal market can be divided into three segments: cups & tray, bags & pouches and bottles. The market was dominated by bags & pouches in 2018, and will continue to grow at 7.7% CAGR over the forecast period. These types of packaging formats are commonly produced by vertical form-fill-seal machinery. They are used for free-flowing solids and liquids. The highest CAGR for the bottle packaging segment will be seen over the forecast period. This packaging type uses blow-fill-seal machines. It is used to package pharmaceutical products and other related products, such as eye drops and oral supplements.

The Cups and Trays packaging type segment was valued USD 1.8 billion in 2018. It is expected to see significant growth in the future due to its widespread use for packaging food products like single-serve jams and yogurts, fresh, cooked, and frozen meats, cheese, and bacon. In 2018, the revenue share for the Blisters packaging segment was 15.9%. This packaging type is used to package pharmaceutical capsules, tablets and pills, among other things.

End-Use Information

The market can be divided into five segments: food, beverages and pharmaceuticals. The global market was dominated by the food end-use segment, which was valued at USD 1.75 billion in 2018. This segment is expected to grow due to the growing trend towards single-serve bags and smaller portions, as well as increasing demand for ready-to-eat foods and convenience items. The beverage end-use segment is expected to grow at 7.7% during the forecast period. This segment is expected to grow due to rising consumption of organic and healthy beverages, as well as increased availability of many beverages.

In 2018, the market's 17.4% revenue share was attributed to the pharmaceuticals end-use segment. For packaging pharmaceutical products, such as pills, capsules, tablets, and sterile liquids, form-fill-seal devices are used. This segment is expected to grow due to factors such as the growing aging population, and consumer awareness about various diseases. The personal care segment is expected to reach USD 1.9 billion in 2025. The demand for form-fill seal machines will be boosted by increased awareness about personal grooming and the introduction of different packaging styles in the personal care industry to increase competitive advantage.

Regional Insights

With a 41.4% revenue share in 2018, Asia Pacific was the dominant market. This trend will likely continue for the forecast period. Market growth is due to several factors including the presence of emerging economies like China and India, growing populations, rising disposable income and the expansion of the food and beverage industry in the region. The market will be driven by increasing demand for smaller, flexible packaging machines due to space limitations.

The North American market will experience the fastest growth over the forecast period. This region will see a rise in consumer preference for convenience packaging and a rising demand for sustainable, eco-friendly packaging. The rising demand for high-quality, automated packaging machinery from different end-use industries resulted in a 31.6% revenue share for the Europe market. Many of the world's largest manufacturers of form-fill seal machines are located in Europe, especially in Germany and Italy.
