These machines are widely used in the food processing industries for packaging products such as pasta, snacks, candies, cereals, beef, vegetables, and more due to their compact design and versatility. They are also used for the packaging of non-food products like screws, clips, nails, and more. These machines are widely adopted in industries such as food & beverages, cosmetics, chemical, pharmaceutical, and others.
COVID-19 Scenario analysis:
- COVID-19 pandemic has shut-down the production of various products in the multi-head weighing machines industry, mainly owing to the prolonged lockdown in major global countries. This has hampered the growth of multi-head weighing machines market significantly from last few months, as is likely to continue during 2020.
- COVID-19 has already affected the sales of equipment and machinery in the first quarter of 2020 and is likely to cause a negative impact on the market growth throughout the year.
- The major demand for equipment and machinery was previously noticed from giant manufacturing countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, the UK, and China, which is badly affected by the spread of coronavirus, thereby halting the demand for equipment and machinery.
- Further, potential impact of the lockdown is currently vague and financial recovery of companies is totally based on its cash reserves. Equipment and machinery companies can afford a full lockdown only for a few months, after which the players would have to modify their investment plans.
- Equipment and machinery manufacturers must focus on protecting their workforce, operations, and supply chains to respond toward immediate crises and find new ways of working after COVID-19 infection cases start to decrease.
