Automated Packaging Solutions Market To Reach $140.82 Billion By 2033

Automated Packaging Solutions Market Growth & Trends

The global automated packaging solutions market size is anticipated to reach USD 140.82 billion by 2033 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is driven by the increasing labor cost and shortage of skilled workforce. As labor costs rise in developed and developing countries alike, manufacturers are turning to automation to maintain profitability and competitiveness. Automated packaging systems reduce dependence on manual labor for repetitive and physically demanding tasks, allowing companies to allocate human resources to more strategic roles. For instance, Coca-Cola’s bottling plants in North America and Europe have deployed automated filling and labeling systems to compensate for labor shortages while maintaining production efficiency.

The rising complexity and customization in product packaging is also driving the growth of the market. Consumers now demand personalized packaging, multi-pack bundles, and aesthetically appealing designs, which are challenging to achieve manually at high speeds. Advanced automated packaging solutions, such as robotic wrapping, automated labeling, and vision-guided inspection systems, allow manufacturers to deliver complex packaging with precision and minimal errors.

For instance, in September 2025, Sealed Air launched the AUTOBAG 850HB Hybrid Bagging Machine, an automated system that handles both poly and paper mailers, allowing fulfillment operations to adapt to varying materials while improving throughput and supporting curbside-recyclable formats. With rapid two-minute material changeover, on-bag printing, and compatibility with semi-automatic and fully automated workflows, the 850HB gives e-commerce, direct-to-consumer brands, and 3PLs enhanced flexibility and productivity, enabling optimal packaging for every order without sacrificing speed or protection.

The stringent regulatory and quality compliance requirements in industries like pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, and cosmetics are further fueling the adoption of automated packaging. Automation ensures high precision, reduces contamination risks, and maintains consistency, helping manufacturers comply with safety and quality standards. For example, pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson have implemented automated blister packaging and vial-filling systems to adhere to strict GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards, reducing the risk of product recalls and regulatory penalties.
