Market Dynamics
Introduction
Food & beverage are the essential sections of the entire processing industry. Other noticeable ones are chemical and pharmaceutical ones. A multitude of seals is used in the food processing & packaging equipment to prevent leakages and also used to prevent the passage of any foreign media. Seals are also capable of withstanding high temperatures and pressures and provide solid support to the container.
Covid-19 Impact
The impact of the pandemic varied from region to region as well as application to application. For instance, Germany, the largest producer of processing & packaging equipment, recorded a colossal decline of about 9%, whereas, the USA, another major market, witnessed healthy growth amid the pandemic. The seals market for the food & beverage somehow managed to register a low-end single-digit growth in the year 2020.
Market Dynamics
Rapid urbanization, changing patterns of food consumption, and rising demand for baked products are driving the demand for processing and packaging equipment. The overall market dynamics of processing & packaging equipment is quite different with Europe the manufacturing capital of such machines and exports these machines across the world. The impact of this trend is noticed in the seals market, a product that represents a fraction share of the total machine market.
