In addition, the increasing demand for customized packaging solutions and the rising consumption of packaged bakery goods contribute to regional market growth.

Cartoning Machines Market Segmentation

  • By machine type, the vertical segment dominated the global market in 2023. Vertical cartoning machines generally use small feeder sections, which reduce the possibility of product damage. They also have a smaller footprint than other types of cartoning machines. This type of cartoning machine is especially effective where the product is vials, jars, and bottles, as they have short in-feed systems that reduce the risk of products being damaged.
  • By packaging material, the paperboard segment registered dominance in the market in 2023 due to the increased concerns about environmental sustainability. Paperboard is a popular material used in manufacturing folding cartons, while cartoning machines are used to form, pack, and close cartons. Paperboard can be used in secondary and tertiary packaging because it is cheap, printable, and collapsible.
  • By end-user, the food & beverages segment dominated the market in 2023. This is mainly due to the increased demand for packaged food & beverages. Cartoning machines are used to package many products such as cereal boxes, frozen foods, snack bars, as well as juice cartons. Carton packaging ensures product freshness, safety, and compliance with food safety regulations.

Competitive Landscape

The cartoning machines market continues to evolve rapidly in the coming years. Key players competing in the market include Warade PackTech Private Limited, Creative Packaging System, Harikrushna Machines Private Limited, Aarvee PHARMA machinery, Durva Machinery, Jet Pack Machines Private Limited, Marchesini Group, PAC Machinery Group, Pactech Machinery LLP, SATV Industries, Unisource Packaging Private Limited, Barvaya Packaging Industries, Orpac Systems Private Limited, Sonus Pharma Machines, and Parth Engineers & Consultant. These players are making efforts to drive innovations and stay ahead of the competion.
