Artificial intelligence is helping industrial packaging firms in employing advanced algorithms in the areas of inspection, data labelling, recycling waste, etc. to produce better packaging solutions for various end user industries. Also, companies are increasingly using AI-assisted robots for carrying out monotonous packaging processes like picking, placing, palletizing, & inspection and with many startups developing AI-powered vision systems that take pictures of finished goods to analyze the package quality and automate the process of product sorting & quality control, the overall growth of industrial packaging market is expected to rise in the forecasted period of 2023-2028.
Competitive Landscape:
The market for industrial packaging has been fragmented due to presence of numerous international, regional and local vendors. Local manufacturers of industrial packaging products cater to unique and innovative solutions at a lower price as compared to the international vendors, usually resulting in price battles between different players of the market.
