Across the world, bottles account for one-third of the\nworld’s rigid packaging market. Bottles have always been preferred for\nconsumable and industrial liquids and their use is expected to grow despite\nincreasing shift to flexible packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bottle filling machines<\/strong> are available primarily in automatic and semiautomatic versions, however some manufacturers are using custom filling & packaging systems<\/a> to improve the efficiency of their operations. Driving the market for bottle filling machines is the growing demand for bottle packaging which mainly includes PET and glass bottles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n PET bottle market<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) refers to a thermoplastic\npolymer resin of the polyester family which is widely used for manufacturing\nplastic bottles. In comparison with PP, HDPE and PVC bottles, PET bottles are\nmore durable, transparent, lightweight, non-reactive, cost-effective and\nthermally stable. Moreover, they are environment-friendly and can be recycled\nrepeatedly which further reduces their manufacturing cost. Primarily used in\nthe packaging of drinking water and beverages, PET bottles are also gaining\nprominence as a packaging solution for salad\ndressings, household cleaners, medicines, dish detergents and mouthwashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to imarc, the global PET bottle market<\/a> reached a volume of more than 17 Million Tons in 2018, and is further projected to reach a volume of nearly 19 Million Tons by 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Although there are growing concerns about plastic packaging,\nadvancements in technology have created a positive outlook for the PET bottle\nmarket. For instance, manufacturers have introduced a plasma-based coating\nwhich makes PET bottles more impervious in nature. Apart from this, they have\nalso started utilizing silver to increase the product shelf life. In Germany,\nmanufacturers are inventing new interior coating processes like FreshSafe PET\nthat makes bottle-to-bottle recycling possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Glass bottle market <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Glass is a recyclable packaging material<\/a> with superior attributes that include hygiene, reusability, chemical stability, durability and the capability to preserve the aroma, strength and flavor of the product. It is also eco-friendly, water-proof, and can be moulded into aesthetically pleasing shapes which makes it the preferred option for packaging beverages, food products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As per Glass Container Market Research Report 2019 from\nMarket Research Future, the glass bottles and containers market was valued at\nUSD 62.01 million in 2018, and it is expected to reach a value of USD 76.16\nmillion by 2024, at a CAGR of 4.20% over the forecast period 2019-2024. Europe\nis the largest glass bottle container market, primarily because it is the\nlargest alcohol and beer producing region of the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bottle Filling\nMachines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Broadly speaking, bottle filling machines<\/strong> are of two types: Rotary and Inline. The type of machine depends on the product to be filled. For example, a bottle filling machine<\/a> that fills bottled water cannot be used for filling cold cream; nor can a bottle filling line for liquid chemicals be used for dairy products. The choice of filling machine depends on the range of viscosities, temperature, particulate size, chemical compatibility, hazardous environment considerations, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of the dynamics driving the Bottle Filling Machine market are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These factors are also generating the need for using different machines for filling different type of products which in turn, are pushing up the demand for bottle filling machines<\/strong>. So for bottle filling machine manufacturers, who can provide machines for diverse products, and in economical to high-end models, the prospects look bright. <\/p>\n
