In the last two decades, palletizing machinery market has seen steady growth. The global palletizing machinery market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6% from 2018-2028 and reach USD 1 billion by 2028. The growth in this industry can be attributed to the increase in demand for automated high-speed packaging equipment with an emphasis on the safety of the workers as well as increased use of technology-driven solutions across industries such as pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, construction, etc., which have led to higher productivity levels and significant cost savings.
Palletizing machinery is a system that uses mechanical and electrical equipment to move products on pallets. It is used in manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceuticals production, and other industries where goods are packaged into standard or custom sizes of shipping containers for storage, transport, and sale purposes. Palletising enables businesses to save space during transportation as well as reduce inventory management costs by maintaining shorter lead times for product shipments. The major components of this type of machinery include Loader - it receives finished product from packaging machines such as cartons and stacks them onto an appropriately sized pallet; Pusher - moves loaded pallets down assembly lines towards loaders; Pushback truck - it transports empty or partial-loaded crates away from loading areas; Palletizer - it arranges the products on a pallet in columns and layer.
On the basis of type, the global palletizing machinery market is segmented into traditional, robotic, and cartesian mixed.
Traditional palletizers are the most common type of machinery in use today. Traditional Palletizer is used to produce wooden or plastic (wood-alternative) skids for supporting goods on a loading dock, warehouse, or other storage areas. The basic function of traditional palletizing equipment is to load material onto a surface that can then be lifted and transported.
The traditional palletizer usually involves manual labor to manually stack the goods onto a flat surface that can be transferred by forklift or other means of transportation. The operator is responsible for loading an object on top of another one in order to create layers upon which subsequent ones are set down. They have been around since the 1950s when they were used primarily at warehouses with limited space constraints where speed was not essential. These machines are simple and cost-effective but require more effort from individuals than robotic types due to their intensive nature; this makes them less attractive investments for many companies looking to modernize their warehouse facility.
The robotic palletizer is an automated machine for handling and storing products on a pallet. Robotic Palletizers use robots to transfer the goods onto the desired position across a conveyor belt or into containers, bins, or other vessels. It uses computer-controlled automation with bar code scanning capabilities for error-free inventory control.
Robotic Palletizers are high-speed palletizing systems that reduce labor costs by requiring fewer personnel to operate the machine. A robotic Palletizer is a specialized type of material handling equipment that automatically carries, dispatches, positions, stacks or unloads materials on or from a conveyor system. The product range includes single-palletizers, double-stack palletizers, and triple-stack palletizers.
Cartesian mixed palletizing machinery is a combination of two or more different types. Cartesian technology, pioneered by Vecoplan in the 1970s, allows for mixing and matching various robot controls seamlessly while maintaining speed and performance accuracy. One can also move up to four axes at once with this equipment. However, it does require some added investment which may not be ideal for many industries such as construction companies that use only one type of tool over another on their projects.
Cartesian mixed is used in many industries including food production, beverage industry, pharmaceuticals industry construction industry, and others as they offer customization options that can be configured according to specific needs of end-users.
On the basis of application, the global palletizing machinery market is segmented into drink industry, food industry, pharmaceutical industry, and construction industries.
Palletizing machinery in the drink industry is used for loading and unloading operations. Palletizers are widely used in breweries, wineries, soft drinks manufacturing plants, and other industries to load and unload products from trucks or railcars. The high-speed conveyors of each palletizer can move a preloaded truck with as many as 40 containers per hour via forklift onto an empty platform on the machine where it will be stacked into place by a hydraulic arm. During off-peak hours when staff numbers decrease, automated palletizers provide much-needed relief.
The food industry is becoming more mechanized with the installment of new technology. Automation in this sector has been seen as a way to increase efficiency and reduce labor costs. Industrial palletizers are used for loading bulk materials onto trucks, trailers, or rail cars where they can be stored outside until needed by consumers. Palletizing machines allow companies to package their products on-site, reducing shipping time and cost while maintaining freshness.
The pharmaceutical industry is where palletizing machinery is used to load and pack bulk containers, drums, sacks, or other types of containers. Palletizing machines in this industry include the traditional type (manual), robotic type as well as cartesian mixed type.
The main use of palletizing machinery in the pharmaceutical industry is to package items. The process starts with placing a product on the machine which then loads it onto one or more cartons, seals, and stacks them according to customer requirements. Once this has been done, machines will load these packages into containers for shipping purposes. Pharmaceutical manufacturers can make use of this machinery to streamline the packaging process and make it more efficient.
The construction industry has been a major user of palletizing machinery, particularly in the form of automated or semi-automated systems. However, with rising concerns about climate change and sustainability, there is an increasing trend for companies to just use wooden crates rather than plastic boxes for their deliveries. This is also true at the retail level where customers are increasingly demanding wooden crates.
On the basis of region, the global palletizing machinery market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. The North American market for palletizing machinery is the largest in terms of revenue and will continue to be so until at least 2020. This can largely be attributed to efficient supply chains, which have been a major driver of economic growth. Europe accounted for almost one-third of global revenues from this industry.
Certain regions in the Asia Pacific region are leading the market with significant investment in the production of processed foods such as alcoholic beverages and brewery products. North America dominates the traditional palletizing segment owing to higher investments in this region, followed by Europe.
