Increasing urban population, demand for pharmaceutical supplies & rising demand for convenience products stimulate the aseptic processing demand to cross the mark of USD 89.5 billion for aseptic packaging and aseptic equipment markets combined, by 2022

The aseptic processing market is classified in two parts, namely, packaging market and equipment market. The global market size is projected to reach USD 89.5 million by 2022, largely owing to its varied functions and end uses such as food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Increasing disposable income of people in developing countries, increasing preference for eco-friendly packages, and improved equipment and technologies in the packaging industry are some of the drivers for the growth of the market. Varying environmental mandates across different regions are major challenges faced by manufacturers in this market. The need for superior understanding of the technology used in aseptic packaging compared to other packaging technologies is another restraining factor.

The high capital requirement for specialized aseptic equipment and need for higher technological understanding act as major restraints for the market

Technological knowledge required to set up a plant for packaging products aseptically is another restraint of the aseptic processing market. A lot of knowledge is required for establishing an aseptic processing plant as this is a crucial process that needs a cautious approach at every step of the way. Hence, manufacturers feel reluctant to step into the aseptic processing business as it requires in-depth knowledge. This aspect of aseptic processing becomes an obstruction in the expansion of the market. However, technological developments are helping this market to simplify operational procedures without human interference, but this would be available at a very high cost.

Aseptic Processing Market Dynamics

Leading aseptic equipment manufacturers are developing innovative solutions to drive the industry growth

Packaging Market: New advances making aseptic packaging more popular

The global aseptic packaging market, in terms of value, is projected to reach USD 77.3 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 10.6% from 2017. The packaging market comprises segments such as cartons, bottles & cans, vials & ampoules, bags & pouches, pre-filled syringes, and others. In terms of value, the cartons segment accounted for the largest share in 2015. The main factor that led to the growth of this segment is the increasing demand for convenience and high-quality products in the beverages sector. Due to advancements and inventions of new drugs in the pharmaceutical sector, there is an increase in the demand for vials & ampoules, which also contributes to the growth of the aseptic packaging market.

Although several new packaging designs and shapes have recently entered the market, aseptic carton manufacturers typically conform to the largely preferred block shape, which is favored as it permits easy stacking for more efficient storage. The carton packaging market is estimated to grow due to the demand from milk and dairy product packaging and juice packaging sectors. Also, the demand for ready-to-go and ready-to-serve products has influenced the demand in this market, particularly in the Asia Pacific region.

Equipment Market: Innovations in packaging equipment are revolutionary

The market for equipment is also positively affected by technological advancements with the introduction of innovative robotic technologies, with greater efficiencies and accuracy, reducing the need for manpower, subsequently reducing the overall cost. The aseptic processing market is segmented into processing and packaging. The year-on-year growth of the packaging segment is estimated to be higher, well above the average growth of the equipment market, owing to the increasing demand for packaging of convenience and packaged food, and pre-cut vegetables. Also, the growing importance of packaging machines and demand for integrated filling machines, owing to the growth in health awareness, high availability, and increase in its usage as convenience food, are expected to drive the market for packaging machines/equipment at a higher rate. Hence, the market for packaging equipment is projected to sustain a higher growth rate through 2022, as compared to processing equipment.

Food & Beverages: Rising importance of shelf-life extension fueling growth

Aseptic processing of food & beverages is a commercial sterilization process of food & beverage products such as dairy & soy drinks, vegetables & fruit juices, creams, and smoothies. Aseptic processing and packaging is done for preserving and extending the shelf life of food & beverage products. The aseptic processing market is highly driven by government laws and regulations. In the current scenario, governments are equally concerned about the health and hygiene of the population; be it developed or developing nations. With the growth in economies, people are shifting toward convenience food & beverages. This is benefitting the packaged food & beverage market; however, the cause for concern here is about safety. Therefore, manufacturers adopted aseptic processing to enhance the safety factor and extended the shelf life (ESL) of products. Rising importance of shelf-life extension and increasing inclination of manufacturers toward aseptic processing are expected to lead to market growth.

Industrial: High number of applications

The equipment is also used in industries such as pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care. Equipment are utilized by manufacturers of creams, lotions, balms, oral hygiene products, cosmetics, fragrances, and toiletries such as soaps, shampoos, and body shower gels. Drugs need to be processed and packaged in a very sterile environment. The processing and packaging of pharma products undergo various inspections, quality checks, while also adhering to regulatory compliances with regard to the drug content and the material used in packaging. Although the market for equipment in cosmetics is small, it is projected to register growth in the future. There is a continuous need for innovation in the cosmetic packaging and machinery industry for the players to gain a competitive advantage over the other players. Thus, substantial demand from the cosmetic and personal care sectors is expected to fuel the growth of the aseptic packaging market, consequently driving the equipment market.
