Sack Fillers Market Dynamics
The global sack fillers market is expected to drive with demand for high-quality operations in packaging and rising demand for the food packaging industry.
Demand for high-quality operations in packaging
The sack fillers have made it possible to handle large quantities of packaging in numerous industries with precise working. The extensive use of sack fillers for the packaging of fertilizers, food and agriculture products across the globe is expected to propel the growth of the global sack fillers market during the forecast period. The introduction of various technological advancements to the functionality of sack filling machines has resulted in a reduction in error rates and improved efficiency of these machines. Sack filling machines can now also be outfitted with weighing systems, such as net-weight scale, gross-weight scale and weight-reduction scale for the packaged product.
Various companies have been preferring the use of sack fillers to maximize their capacity and reduce wastage. For example, Swinson, a packaged peanut producer, noticed that the manual filling process of peanuts didn’t meet his efficiency standards. The process was very slow with a filling rate of 20 bulk bags per day and quite labor-intensive. The manual filling process also caused some spillage, as well as product contamination. The company witched to bag fillers with a control panel for the packaging process, which increased packaging speed and improved accuracy by 400%.
High cost of machines
The sack fillers market is impacted by the high cost of machines. The sack fillers are costly due to technologically advanced features and automation, which is still uneconomical for most small-scale vendors. Most of the manufacturers still cannot afford the use of machines for packaging due to the extra cost associated with it.
The vendors cannot utilize the sack fillers to their full potential, which results in the ideal time and associated losses. Moreover, many developing nations still prefer manual packaging due to cheap labor wages and to maximize the profit margin. Such scenarios are responsible for hampering the sack fillers market demand.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis on Sack Fillers Market
Due to the pandemic, stakeholders across the sack fillers industry have seen a notable impact as all the production work, factories and other activities were closed. The sack filler has been majorly used to offer high production rates in the food, agriculture and construction industries. But, during the global outbreak, all the construction activities have been closed for more than a year, which has impacted the demand for the sack filler market. Moreover, there have been substantial losses in the food and agriculture industry as well. After the pandemic, the governments still impose various restrictions, such as working with half the workforce and fewer operating hours hindering the production cycle of the market.
As a result, the losses are incorporated with less demand from food, agricultural, chemical, construction and other associated industries. The manufacturers were challenged with a lack of customers due to industry losses. However, the market is expected to recover after the pandemic, with sectors aiming to work with higher production rates to recover from the incorporated losses.
