Market Trends of Bottling Machinery Industry
Beverage Industry to Show a Significant Growth
- The key soft drink brand Coca-Cola announced an industry-leading goal to significantly increase its use of reusable packaging. By 2030, the company seeks to have at least 25% of all beverages globally across its portfolio of brands sold in refillable/returnable glass or plastic bottles or containers through traditional fountains or Coca-Cola Freestyle dispensers.
- For instance, in February 2023, Coca-Cola Europacific invested over EUR 40 million (USD 43.29 million) into enhancing its refillable bottling infrastructure in Germany. The company's objective is to strengthen the sustainability of its supply chain and simplify consumer access to beverages in refillable glass bottles. The investment will also fund a new packaging machine for glass bottles in Monchengladbach and a new filling line in Luneburg.
- Beverage companies must expand their production capacities to meet the growing demand for fruit juice. This will lead to increased investments in new bottling machinery. According to a recent study published by the British Soft Drinks Association in June 2023, fruit juice consumption in the United Kingdom was estimated to increase from 906 million liters in 2019 to 973 million liters in 2022.
- According to the US Census Bureau, the total sales generated by grocery stores in the United States in 2023 amounted to USD 884.76 billion compared with USD 653.18 billion in 2017. With the growth in grocery sales, there's likely an increase in the consumption of packaged beverages such as bottled water, soft drinks, juices, and energy drinks.
- Beverage manufacturers will need to scale up production to meet the growing demand, leading to increased investments in bottling machinery.
