The market for packaging robots will be worth $7.5bn by 2032
By
Fact.MR market analysts T
he global packaging robots market was valued at $3.8bn in 2022, and expected to reach $7.5bn by the end of 2032; this
is a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%, as per data released by
Fact.MR, a market research provider. Packaging robots are adaptable machines designed to complete labour- intensive tasks quickly, easily and cost-effectively. With integrated controls, simple human-machine interfaces and cutting-edge software and sensors, they are simple to operate. Flexibility, accuracy and consistency are their main advantages. Robots are capable of a wide range of tasks related to packaging, including picking and placing, boxing, palletising and warehousing. Packaging robots are preferred by many firms due to their enhanced supply chain efficiency, higher packaging effectiveness and decreased operational costs. To finish any kind of packing operation, they use the arm tooling. They come in different robot sizes, payloads, reaches and mounting configurations. The integration of packaging robots into any type of workspace is simpler. Vacuum grippers produce suction
force through the use of vacuum. They are employed in a variety of tasks, including installation, packaging and material handling. To produce standard or customised packaging, manufacturers in the food and beverage sector are shifting from traditional assembly line techniques to completely automated assembly lines. This promotes the use of packaging robots with vision capabilities, which are highly suitable for assembly line tasks. Using packaging robots to automate these processes offers superior quality,

responsiveness, dependability and accuracy, for both main and secondary applications.
Key points from the
Fact.MR study • The global packaging robots market will reach $7.5bn by 2032. • Sales of clamp grippers are expected to increase at a CAGR of 6% from 2022 to 2032.
• The market in Germany is estimated to develop at a CAGR of 4% through to 2032.
• The market in Japan is anticipated to evolve at a CAGR of 3.5% over the same period.
Manufacturers landscape Top companies in the packaging robots market plan to conduct research and development initiatives to create unique robotic packaging systems to meet the increased demand from factories throughout the world. Key companies are anticipated to release advanced
products to provide a reliable pick-and- place operations in smart factories as these continue to evolve and industrial automation is increasingly used. For instance: In 2020, one of the biggest manufacturers of robots, Fanuc, introduced the R-2000id robot with cable-integrated technology. This robot has advanced features, including picking and positioning and auto checking in addition to packaging.
Winning strategy Key market players are concentrating on growing their customer base internationally. Top suppliers are providing advanced robotic machines that can be used for simultaneous picking, palletising and packing tasks. Also, we are seeing acquisitions in this space, acquiring key technology. This is the case with Bosch Packaging Technology’s German-based packaging machinery division which was acquired by Syntegon Technology in 2020.
