Growth Drivers

Surge in Need for Enhancing Productivity, Industrialization, and Manufacturing Activities

Various industries are increasingly adopting automation at different levels of their manufacturing and production activities including packaging. This is because of the various benefits it offers, among which is cost–saving is the most crucial one. Automation allows the packagers to perform complex tasks at low operating costs. The packaging automation equipment is also installed with IoTs and sensors these days, which help in collecting crucial data and improve production efficiency. These factors are expected to boost the growth of the overall Brazil packaging automation market.

Restraints

High Cost of Packaging Automation Equipment and Installation

The high cost of packaging automation equipment may limit the growth of Brazil packaging automation market during the forecast period. For instance, an approximate cost of a robotic case packaging line ranges about USD 150,000 to more than USD 300,000, the average cost of a robotic palletizing line is around USD 175,000 to more than USD 350,000, typical stand–alone robotic arms with welding packages cost between USD 28,000 and USD 40,000. Consequently, it limits the adoption of packaging automation, especially among small and medium–sized enterprises.

Impact of COVID-19 on Brazil Packaging Automation Market

COVID–19 pandemic affected the growth of the Brazil packaging automation market. The lockdown implemented by the government to curb the virus spread halted the operations of the various end–user industries including e–commerce and logistics, automobile, chemicals, etc. Due to this, the demand for packaging automation registered a sharp decline in 2020. Furthermore, the industries suffered huge losses during this period, which limited their investments in the adoption of packaging automation. However, the pandemic is expected to offer great opportunities to the Brazil packaging automation market as automation ensures contactless packaging which prevents the spread of infectious diseases.

Brazil Packaging Automation Market – By Application

Based on application, Brazil packaging automation market is segregated into labeling, capping, palletizing, wrapping, form filling & sealing (FFS), and other segments. The form-filling and sealing (FFS) segment account for the largest market share. A form-fill-seal machine creates a package, stuffs it with a product, and then seals it. It begins with a big roll of film that has been shaped into a bag. This is among the more important steps in packaging, as it does damage control and ensures the product sustains its quality till the final delivery.

Brazil Packaging Automation Market – By End–Use Industry

Based on the end–use industry, Brazil packaging automation market is segmented into food & beverages, healthcare & pharmaceutical, automotive, e-commerce & logistics, chemicals, and others. The e–commerce & logistics segment accounts for the largest market share. The e–commerce portals are rolling out hundreds and thousands of packages every day which require quick packaging that maintains a high quality of the products. Implementing automation in packaging helps the e–commerce and logistics industry meet the demand and save labor costs and production time.

Competitive Landscape

Major players operating in Brazil packaging automation market include Amcor PLC, Klabin SA, Berry Global Inc., Westrock Company, Sealed Air Corporation, Sonoco Products Company, Avery Dennison Corporation, Automated Packaging Systems, Inc., and Rockwell Automation, Inc. These companies employ various strategies to further enhance their market share, including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, license agreements, and new product launches.
