Key Takeaways

APAC holds the dominant position in the global packaging robots market and is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period 2020-27. This is owing to rapid industrialisation in the countries such as India, China, Japan and South Korea. Furthermore, initiatives taken by government in these countries expected to positively impact on the packaging robot market. For instance, China is also investing in new technology such as robotics, Artificial Intelligence, under its Made in China 2025, a strategic plan of China to shifts from low cost goods manufacturing industry to develop independent the high value and service providing industry in the country. Thus, APAC region is contributing highest among the all-regions in the global packaging robots market and also anticipated to create lot of opportunities for the key players in the forecast period.

Among end use, food and beverages, segment is expected to dominate the global packaging robots market over the forecasted period as packaging robots reduces the overall cost in long term by reducing the labour cost, improves efficiency, material waste, and others. Furthermore, due to Covid 19 pandemic, companies are investing in the robotics for the packaging as these reduces the contamination chances, and further, due automation, all systems can fully monitored remotely. Thus, food and beverages, segment is expected to dominate the global packaging robots market over the forecasted period
