For instance, according to Food Drink Europe, the food and beverage industry in European Union was valued at USD 1,292.0 billion in 2022, witnessing a growth of 2.6% as compared to USD 1,177.8 billion in 2021. Hence, the growing food & beverage industry is further fostering the adoption of strapping machines for aforementioned applications, in turn proliferating the growth of the market.
Restraint:
High cost and operational challenges associated with strapping machines is restraining the market growth
The implementation of strapping machines is associated with high costs which is a prime factor limiting market growth. For instance, according to Industrial Packaging, the average cost of semi-automatic strapping machines ranges from USD 2,500 to over USD 7,000 per unit. The average price of automatic strapping machines starts from USD 6,500 per set while the average cost of fully automated strapping machines starts from USD 16,000 per unit.
Moreover, automatic strapping machines are quite complex, difficult to operate, and require additional resources and time for setting up and maintaining the machine, which is a significant challenge for smaller businesses. Additionally, automatic strapping machines are prone to experiencing downtime due to repairs, maintenance, or other issues. Therefore, high cost and operational challenges associated with strapping machines are restraining the market growth.
Strapping Machine Market Segmentation:
By Strapping Material
The strapping material segment is divided into steel, polypropylene, polyester, and others.
The polypropylene segment contributed to the largest revenue share in 2022. Polypropylene strapping is composed of lightweight plastic and is available in a wide range of widths, tensile strengths, and core sizes depending on the application. Additionally, polypropylene strapping is extremely versatile and ideal for utilization in household appliances, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and other industries. This in turn is driving the adoption of polypropylene strapping material.
According to India Brand Equity Foundation, India ranked third in pharmaceutical production by volume in 2021. According to IBEF, the local pharmaceutical sector in India includes nearly 10,500 pharmaceutical manufacturing units and 3,000 drug companies. Thus, the rising pharmaceutical production is driving the adoption of polypropylene strapping to ensure reliable packaging and distribution of pharmaceutical products, in turn boosting the growth of the segment.
Additionally, the polyester segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Polyester strapping offers a smooth texture along with high strength and rigidity. Polyester strapping is designed for rigid loads and helps in absorbing impact during transit. Moreover, polyester strapping offers several benefits including abrasion resistance, high strength and durability, shock absorbance, and high retained tension among others. The above benefits of polyester strapping are expected to increase its utilization in heavy-duty bundling applications including shipping metals, bricks, beverage pallets, and other heavy-weight packages.
Furthermore, factors including the growth of food & beverage sector and rising demand for durable and impact-resistant strapping material for heavy-duty packaging are anticipated to drive the adoption of polyester strapping material during the forecast period.
