The global packaging machinery market size is expected to reach USD 80.96 billion by 2030, registering to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2025 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. A significant increase in the demand for convenience food products is driving industry growth. Convenience food includes all types of packaged food products. The demand for packaged food is mainly contributed by the millennial and gen-z customers who are more inclined towards ease and convenience. The industry growth is also attributed to the rising need for differentiation in retail shops since customers are demanding greater product diversity and a wider range of products.

Packaging differentiation calls for the attention of the customer by using unique sizes, shapes, and materials. This subsequently leads to an increasing inclination of manufacturers toward unique packaging styles and drives product growth. Packaging equipment is used in the pharmaceutical industry for packaging medicines and drugs in a safe environment. The pharma industry has witnessed significant growth over the last decade owing to the increased demand for pharmaceutical drugs in BRICS and MIST countries. The development of new generic drugs and medicines has also fueled the pharma industry's growth. The growing e-commerce industry across the world, rising internet penetration & number of e-commerce players, changing lifestyles, and developments in logistics are facilitating the growth of e-commerce shopping.
