Aseptic Filling Machines Market by Product Type (Compact Filling Machines, Inline Filling Machines, Tabletop/Benchtop Units, Modular Machines, and Others), Automation Level Type (Semi-automatic and Automatic), and End-user Industry (Food & Beverage, Chemical, Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics, and Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030

COVID-19 Impact analysis

• The COVID-19 pandemic ceased the production of various products in the aseptic filling machine industry, which is attributed to the global lockdown. This has hampered the growth of aseptic filling machine market in the years 2020 and 2021, and a similar trend is expected to be seen in first half of 2022.
• The major demand for aseptic filling machines was previously noticed from giant developed and developing countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, the UK, India, and China, which are negatively affected by the spread of the coronavirus, thereby declining the demand for aseptic filling machine.
• Further, potential impact of the lockdown is currently vague and financial recovery of companies is totally based on their cash reserves. Aseptic filling machine manufacturers can afford a lockdown only for a few months, after which the players have to modify their investment plans. For instance, various players in the market halted their production activities for several weeks to reduce their expenses. On the contrary, few players adopted employee lay-offs to sustain themselves during the COVID-19 health crisis.
• Aseptic filling machine manufacturers are expected to focus on protecting their workforce, operations, and supply chains to respond to immediate crises and find new ways of working after COVID-19. For instance, provision of sanitizers, maintaining social distancing, as well as ensuring the vaccination of every employee in the company can assist in promoting the health & safety of the workforce. 

Top Impacting Factors

People around the world are discarding the use of unpacked food due to their potential of causing bad health. This is anticipated to boost the demand in the aseptic feeling machine market. Moreover, increase in demand for products that cannot be processed in an open environment, such as dairy products, ice-creams, and coffee, is a major reason for the growth in the aseptic filling machine market. Furthermore, the rising disposable income of people, especially in developing countries, is leading to the increased demand of selfcare and general healthcare products such as cosmetic materials, and health supplements. This trend is anticipated to boost the demand in the aseptic filling machine market. However, the high upfront and maintenance cost of aseptic filling machines is one of the restraining factors hindering the growth of aseptic filling machine market. Contrarily, technological developments in aseptic filling machines such as adoption of automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and other industry 4.0 advancements boost the efficiency of the equipment and lower the operating cost of aseptic filling machines. This is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for the aseptic filling machine market to grow during the forecast period.

Market Trends

• New products that contain improved capabilities are launched by leading market players. They take necessary steps to improve overall functionality as well. For instance, in March 2021, KHS GmbH introduced new technologies for filling sensitive beverages in PET and HDPE bottles. This technology can be retrofitted into the existing aseptic filling machines. This innovation has enhanced the efficiency of the product offerings by KHS to sustain the competition in aseptic filling machine market.
• Companies in the food & beverages packaging machine market adopted acquisition as their key developmental strategy to expand their geographical foothold and upgrade their product technologies. For instance, in June 2021, JBT Corporation, a global technology solutions provider for the food and beverage industry, signed a definitive agreement to acquire Prevenio, a leading provider of innovative food safety solutions primarily for the poultry industry. 
• Moreover, business expansion strategies assist in enhancing their geographic footprint and help in gaining significant market share for aseptic filling machine products. For instance, in January 2022, Flexicon, a Bethlehem, Pa.-based aseptic filling machine manufacturer, opened a new office in Malaysia. This facility is expected to improve the service offerings for aseptic filling machine consumers in Malaysia.
