The State of the Industry provides are liable base of machinery shipment statistics that are incorporated into an in-depth report on the packaging machinery industry. The report contains the most up-to-date statistics, estimates, and analyses available on the U.S. packaging machinery industries. Most importantly, the project is structured to define the size of the total market by machinery category.
2025 State of the Industry Report (PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, 2025) analyzes current performance and near-term outlook for North American packaging machinery. Drawing on late-2024 to 2025 market modeling, OEM interviews, and secondary data benchmarked to the prior edition, it examines sector dynamics across food, beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and chemicals, with charts highlighting end-of-line automation momentum, inspection adoption, and aftermarket expansion amid workforce constraints, material transitions, and tariff-driven uncertainty. Equipment coverage spans conveying, cartoning, palletizing, F/F/S, coding, and tray systems, with comparative views to 2030 that reflect updated economic assumptions and policy risk. See where packaging teams are recalibrating investments—from materials to machinery to services—to maintain resilience through policy volatility.
The State of the Industry Report, formerly the U.S. Packaging Machinery Shipments Study, establishes and maintains a reliable machinery shipment statistics that are incorporated into an in-depth report on the packaging machinery industry. This in-depth report on the status of the packaging machinery industry contains the most up-to-date statistics, estimates, and analysis available on the U.S. and Canadian packaging machinery industries. This year’s edition also introduces forecasts for parts and services, along with a comprehensive view of 2024 imports and exports.
