Market overview of bag heat sealing equipment
Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global bag heat sealing equipment market to grow at a CAGR of more than 5% by 2020. The rising demand for convenience and packaged foods in developing countries is increasing the demand for bags and pouches, which is contributing to the growth of the market. The sealed bags and pouches are extensively used for frozen foods, meat, processed meat, bakery, poultry and fish, and heat-and-eat meals. The vendors are developing frozen food packaging designs like sealed bags and microwaveable pouches which are easy to dispose. The rise in working professionals and dual-earning families has increased the consumption of processed food, thereby increasing the demand for convenient and higher value-added packaging solutions such as bag heat sealing equipment.
An interesting trend gaining momentum in the market is the growing demand for automatic impulse sealers owing to the increased need for automation in manufacturing processes. These sealers provide fast sealing operations and are preferable for high production jobs. Also, they have high-speed performance and give error-free operations. Also, the equipment minimizes the degree of faults in the manufacturing process and increase the overall volume of quality production. Hence, the growing need for automation is predicted to help in the growth of the market during the forecast period.
