The global food vacuum machine market size was US$ 12.5 billion in 2021. The global food vacuum machine market is forecast to grow to US$ 20.9 billion by 2030 by registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.
Before sealing, vacuum packaging removes air from the container. It extends the shelf life of the food product and decreases the volume of the packaged contents. Vacuum packaging machines are commonly used in supermarkets, retail stores, hypermarkets, and other establishments to package food and non-food items. A pouch or bag is inserted into the vacuum nozzle of the device, compressed and locked by the sealing jaw, and the air is then drawn out in accordance with instructions.
Factors Influencing the Market
The rapidly growing demand for ready-to-eat food products will drive the growth of the global food vacuum machine market during the forecast period. The market may also witness potential opportunities due to the busy lifestyle of people. Apart from that, the benefits of packaged food, such as ease of carrying and convenient packaging, will escalate the demand for food vacuum machines in the coming years.
Growing consumer disposable income and benefits of packaged goods, such as high shelf life, no concerns over contamination, and nutritional consistency, will drive the growth of the market. Apart from that, the rising user base on e-commerce websites will also benefit the market throughout the forecast period.
Growing technological advancements will be opportunistic for the food vacuum machine market. For instance, Multivac (Germany) unveiled its new tray sealing and chamber belt machines in 2019. These machines can automatically perform vacuum packaging of food products in film containers. On the flip side, high costs associated with the installation of food vacuum machines may limit the growth of the market.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic affected consumer lifestyles. The scarcity of food forced people to adopt alternative ways. As a result, the demand for frozen meals increased substantially. The market also witnessed a significant rise in the user base on e-commerce platforms. Thus, it has been beneficial for the food vacuum machine market.
Regional Analysis
The Asia-Pacific food vacuum machine market is forecast to record the highest growth rate. The growth of the region is attributed to the growing disposable income and significantly rising awareness of hygienic packaging solutions. Apart from that, the large population of the region is expected to benefit the food vacuum machine market in the coming years.
