Automatic Labeling Machine Market: Overview

The market for automatic labeling machines was worth USD 2,619.4 million in 2021, and it is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4%. The automatic labeling machine market is expanding due to increased demand for automation in the food industry, bettering economic conditions, urbanization, and rising demand for packaging solutions for various products. Customers are seeking a bigger variety of products with more product diversity. As a result, more products are being produced and marketed, which has increased production complexity. Product producers are increasingly looking for versatile labeling machines that can work with a greater variety of materials and integrate several technologies to tackle these challenges.

Growing consumer desire for accurate, quick, and straightforward labeling solutions is projected to further fuel market expansion. The market for labeling machines is also anticipated to be driven by the expanding e-commerce sector, which will profit from features including convenience, choice, and cost savings. Between 12 and 24 million eCommerce sites exist worldwide, and new ones are being developed daily. Therefore, in the booming e-commerce industry, labeling machines are used to apply labels and barcodes on various cartons and packages.

As of 2021, the counterfeiting product industry exceeds USD 600 billion. Labeling ensures the product makers that they can easily trace shipments thanks to tracking and anti-counterfeiting capabilities on labels. Furthermore, labels ensure that the products are delivered to the clients without any disturbance, providing protection against tampering. Further anticipated to increase demand for this equipment is the rising demand for security labeling to prevent theft and fraud.

A developing trend is the use of green labels. Using green labels helps prevent tampering and ultimately improves product security. The market for automated labelers is expected to rise as a result of technology advancements as well as shifting consumer perceptions about products with labels. For instance, in September 2019, the M2 labeling head, a modular wipe-on high-speed label applicator with faster performance and increased possibilities, was unveiled by ID Technology, a ProMach product brand.

Automatic Labeling Machine Market: COVID-19 Impact

With the global lockdown brought on by the COVID-19 epidemic, the automatic labeling machine industry stopped producing several products. This has slowed the market expansion for automatic labeling machines during the past few months, and it will probably do so again in 2022. COVID-19 impacted sales of automatic labeling machines in the final quarter of 2021, and it is projected that this would have a negative effect on market growth all year. Large manufacturing regions, including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and South America, which are adversely impacted by the coronavirus's expansion and consequent decline in demand, previously had the highest demand for automatic labeling equipment.

Furthermore, the lockdown's potential effects are now unknown, and organizations' ability to recover financially depends entirely on their cash reserves. Manufacturers of automatic labeling machines can only afford a complete lockdown for a limited period of time before the players must change their investment strategies. For instance, several market participants temporarily stopped output to cut costs. Contrarily, very few participants used employee layoffs to survive the COVID-19 health crisis. Manufacturers of automatic labeling machines should prioritize safeguarding their personnel, business operations, and supply chains to respond to urgent emergencies and develop new operational strategies following COVID-19.

Automatic Labeling Machine Market: Drivers

With Increased Competition, Food And Beverage Industry have High Demand For Automation

The role of labels and packaging in product management has changed significantly throughout time, just as the ability of the modern consumer to comprehend what is contained in the product he or she chooses to buy has. The market is driven by the industry's need for automation in the food and beverage industry. Labels are crucial in providing information about the product and promoting sales as buyers become more aware of its features. Manufacturers are switching to automated labeling solutions to meet the rising demand from the food and beverage sectors. 127.92 million Americans ate fully frozen meals in 2020. The demand for packaging would rise due to the country's rising consumption of frozen and packaged foods, propelling the market for automatic labeling machines.

The demand for the product has increased due to the continued competition, which has increased the necessity for prompt delivery and suitable quality. 567 companies that produce frozen food will be operating in the US as of 2022, employing 97,873 people. The need for automatic labeling machines is increasing due to the manufacturer's need to provide products quickly while maintaining consumer satisfaction in the face of escalating competition.

Market Growth is Influenced by Use of High-Quality Labeling  Adhesive for Packaging Solutions

Pressure-sensitive adhesives were first utilized for practical and hygienic labeling in the early 1920s. From that point forward, labelers have a strong preference for adhesives. They are used to shorten the package lining and quicken the drying of the finished product. Labeling adhesives, such as biopolymers, biodegradable adhesives, etc., are used depending on the industry's uses. High-quality adhesives reduce the need for solvents, speed up manufacturing, use less energy, and ensure consistency during machining, all of which boost the sustainability of packaging solutions. For instance, in May 2019, Herma unveiled the Herma 42X, a UV-curable, removable adhesive based on the acrylic that offers resistance to grease, detergent, and water. High-quality labeling adhesives are therefore anticipated to boost market expansion.

Automatic Labeling Machine Market: Restraints

Automated Labeller Maintenance Costs May Restrain Growth

Comparatively speaking, automatic labeling machines cost more than traditional labeling machines. Well-known manufacturers are creating these machines by combining labeling equipment with coding, painting, or palletizing equipment, eventually raising production costs. Additionally, when a machine breaks down unexpectedly when a firm is in operation, it causes major downsides such as damage to the container material, label wrinkling, label flagging, etc. The need for automated labelers is constrained by the difficulty small- and medium-sized packaging businesses have expensive integrating machinery. Given all of these aspects, it is projected that maintenance costs will be a key factor in limiting this market's growth.

Automatic Labeling Machine Market: Segment Overview

Self-Adhesive Labelers to Dominate Market due to Ease Of Application
