Packaging Machinery Manufacturing in the US industry analysis

Packaging machinery manufacturers create machinery used for wrapping, canning, bottling and labeling for several markets in the food and beverage sector. The industry also manufactures thermoform, blister and skin packaging machinery for pharmaceutical products and medical devices. The pandemic brought a drop in consumer spending in 2020, causing revenue to dip for packaging machinery manufacturers. The release of pent-up demand jumpstarted recovery in 2021, providing record-breaking revenue growth for the industry. Still, a strong US dollar has supported the intense import penetration and harmed exports as foreign machinery has become more affordable. Inflationary pressure has lowered disposable income, resulting in slower product sales and affecting machinery demand. Packaging Machinery Manufacturing industry revenue has been expanding at a CAGR of 3.1% over the past five years and is expected to total $10.5 billion in 2024, when revenue will jump by an estimated 1.3%.

Trends and Insights

  • Increasing demand in the pharmaceutical market has led to significant revenue growth. This sector is commonly known for its resilience, allowing it to thrive even in challenging economic conditions while continuing to expand its financial success.
  • The pharmaceutical market has grown. This expansion is primarily attributed to advancements in drug development and rising global demand for healthcare solutions, which boosted the need for more robust packaging solutions.
  • Proximity to major markets can significantly reduce transportation costs for manufacturers by streamlining the supply chain and ensuring faster delivery of goods. This advantage has led many manufacturers to establish operations in regions with dense industrial networks, such as the Great Lakes area.
  • Product specialization intensifies competition among manufacturers to address the needs of large markets. By focusing on specific industries, manufacturers can tailor their products more precisely, leading to higher-quality offerings and improved customer satisfaction within those specialized sectors.
