Global Artificial Intelligence in Packaging Market Size, Trends & Analysis - Forecasts to 2026 By Technology (Machine Learning, Machine Vision, and Others), By End-User (Food Industry, Beverage Industry, Medical and Pharmaceutical Industry, Cosmetic Industry, Consumer Electronics Industry, and Others), By Application (AIE of Packaging, Data Labeling, Smart Warehousing, Quality Inspection, AI-based Recycling Systems, and Others), By Region (North America, Asia Pacific, CSA, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa), Competitive Landscape Company Market Share Analysis, and Competitor Analysis
The global artificial intelligence in packaging market is projected to grow at a CAGR value of 55.2% from 2021 to 2026.
Constant integration of artificial intelligence with packaging industry and rapidly evolving nature of the automation driven packaging industry have started to have a positive impact on the entire industrial process. The integration not only is beneficial to the process, but also has a major impact on the production’s quality and quantity. The rapidly increasing globalization, and positive growth in global trade has given rise to the need for faster, quicker and smarter process in production facilities and warehouses. The major application of AI in packaging industry is sorting recycled products. In 2019, Carlton Council (North America) and AMP Robotics partnered to manufacture and launch a robot (namely Clarke) that would help in the sorting process of the plastic bottles, cartons, and containers.
Moreover, to avoid inspection failures, customer dissatisfaction and potential loss of business capital, many companies are using AI in their data labelling process. The companies are implementing Machine Learning in their date labeling process ensuring lesser manual errors and greater efficiencies in processes. For example, in 2020, OAL, Tesco, and the University of Lincoln had entered into a partnership to develop packaging machines which is powered by an AI system, in order to streamline the data labeling process.
Other applications of AI in packaging industry are quality control and inspection, warehouse automation, and AIE of packaging.
The market for AI in packaging industry is driven by factors such as rising number of large and complex dataset, increasing demand for contamination free packaging process, evolving industrial IoT and automation process, rising need for warehouse automation, and increasing monetary support by public-private ventures for developing smart robots and machines. Moreover, rising demand for growth in the operational efficiency of packaging plants, application of AI in intelligent business segment, and adoption of automation technologies to curb effects of COVID-19 are some of the other factors supporting the growth of the market.
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the AI industry both positively and negatively. The impact led to raw material supply disruption, fluctuation in the prices, and temporary shutdown of manufacturing & packaging sites. However, due to the ease on lockdown norms, and due to the sudden rise in touchless packaging norms, the market for artificial intelligence in packaging is expected to grow gradually during the forecast period of 2021 to 2026.
Based on the technology, the market is segmented into machine learning, machine vision, and others. The segment of machine learning will be growing the fastest in the market from 2021 to 2026. The major reason being, the rising demand of machine learning in business process automation, data labeling, and content inspection during QA/QC of products.
On the basis of application, the artificial intelligence in packaging market is divided into AIE of packaging, data labeling, smart warehousing, quality inspection, AI-based recycling systems, and others.
The smart warehousing segment is expected to grow the fastest in the market from 2021 to 2026. Various factors such as the proliferation of smartphones for faster goods management, the rising advancement of AI in the eCommerce industry due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the emergence of multi-channel distribution networks, and the dynamic nature and globalization of supply chain networks are expected to drive the growth of smart warehousing segment.
On the basis of end-user, the market is segmented into food industry, beverage industry, medical and pharmaceutical industry, cosmetic industry, consumer electronics industry, and others.
The food industry is expected to hold the largest share of the global market from 2021 to 2026. Changes in consumer demands toward preferring non-contaminant, fast, affordable, and easily accessible food options helped the segment hold the dominant position in the market. Artificial intelligence and machine learning has helped to scale up the operations and stay relevant in the market.
As per the geographical analysis, the market can be classified into North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico), Asia Pacific (India, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Rest of Asia Pacific), Europe (Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, and Rest of Europe), Middle East & Africa (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Rest of the Middle East & Africa) and Central & South America (Brazil, Argentina, and Rest of Central and South America).
North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico) will have a dominant share in the market from 2021 to 2026. The rising adoption of AI technologies and in packaging industry, and increasing public-private partnership to launch smart machineries are some of the drivers supporting the North American region growth.
Moreover, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to be the fastest growing segment in the market during the forecast period. Increasing demand for packaged food products, flourishing pharmaceutical packaging industry, and rising inorganic growth strategies are helping the APAC market grow the fastest.
Packagex, Sensi, Digimind, Cypheme, Greyscale AI, Tetra Laval International SA, UPM-Kymmene Corp, Westrock Co, International Paper Co, Stora Enso Oyj, Ball Corp, Smurfit, Kappa Group plc, Nine Dragons Paper (Holdings) Ltd, Amcor Plc, Avery Dennison Corp, Verallia, DS Smith, Microsoft, GE Digital, ABB, SIG Combibloc, Metsä Board, Ardagh, Sealed Air, Mondi, and Berry Global are the key players in the artificial intelligence in packaging market.
