Summary
In the production chains of industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, granule and powder packaging machines are core equipment ensuring efficiency and quality.
In the production chains of industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, granule and powder packaging machines are core equipment ensuring efficiency and quality. In 2025, with the global economic recovery and accelerated industrial upgrading, Guangzhou Fame Machinery Co., Ltd., deeply rooted in the industry, discovered that the entire market is experiencing a dual wave of demand restructuring and technological innovation, presenting both opportunities and challenges.
Industry Status Quo: Demand Upgrading Drives Equipment Iteration
The current packaging machine market is showing clear structural changes. In terms of scale, the domestic market continues to expand, exceeding 85 billion yuan in 2023 and projected to reach 110 billion yuan by 2025. Granule and powder packaging equipment, due to its wide application, consistently maintains a leading share. From the demand side, three major trends are particularly evident:
• Precision Requirements: In scenarios such as grain packaging in the food industry and the proportioning of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces in the pharmaceutical industry, the weight accuracy requirements have increased to ±0.1g level, making it difficult for traditional equipment to meet the precise mixing needs of multiple materials.
• Customization Wave: E-commerce brands are pursuing small-batch, multi-specification packaging, and emerging markets have higher requirements for the adaptability of packaging with special materials. General-purpose equipment is gradually losing its competitiveness. For example, a six-weighing, three-station bag-feeding machine, which can be individually set for the weight of each material, has become a new favorite in industries such as grains and traditional Chinese medicine.
• Compliance Bottom Line: The standards for equipment cleanliness and material residue control in the pharmaceutical and food industries are constantly being upgraded. Post-cleaning alone is no longer sufficient to meet GMP and other certification requirements; equipment structural design needs to be optimized from the source.
Meanwhile, the industry also faces real challenges: the import dependence of core components remains at 43%, and raw material costs such as steel account for about 35%. Coupled with some international trade barriers, the profit margins of small and medium-sized manufacturers continue to be squeezed.
Technological Breakthrough: Three Directions Define Core Competitiveness
To cope with market changes, technological upgrading has become the key to breaking through the current predicament. Guangzhou Fame Machinery Co., Ltd., through extensive project practice, has found that equipment with the following technical characteristics is more favored by the market: Intelligent Reconstruction of Production Logic
The integration of AI and IoT technologies is reshaping the value of equipment. The new generation of packaging machines has shifted from "passive operation" to "proactive service": real-time monitoring of weighing data via intelligent sensors, combined with big data analysis to predict equipment malfunctions, can improve overall equipment efficiency by over 27%. The widespread adoption of remote maintenance systems allows for response to equipment issues for remote customers within one hour, significantly reducing downtime losses. For example, in multi-material packaging scenarios, the equipment can automatically complete the sequential feeding and vacuum sealing of six materials without manual intervention.
Green Manufacturing Adapts to Sustainable Development
Driven by "dual carbon" goals, green manufacturing has become an industry necessity. The procurement volume of energy-saving packaging machines increased by 41% year-on-year. These machines, through efficient drive systems and intelligent energy management, can reduce operating energy consumption by more than 15%. Simultaneously, specialized equipment adapted to biodegradable packaging materials is rapidly becoming widespread. In the food powder packaging field, this effectively solves the compatibility problem between traditional equipment and environmentally friendly films, avoiding issues such as packaging adhesion and incomplete sealing.
Flexibility Addresses Diverse Needs
Flexible manufacturing systems are becoming the mainstream direction. The equipment needs to be able to quickly switch packaging specifications and adapt to different material characteristics: for powders with poor flowability, a vibrating feeder can be added; for fragile particles, a soft-landing feeder design is adopted; through modular combination, it can also achieve flexible conversion from single-material packaging to multi-material mixed vacuum packaging.
Breakthrough Path: Enterprises Need to Build Three-Dimensional Competitiveness
Faced with industry changes, Guangzhou Fame Machinery Co., Ltd. believes that packaging machine companies need to build a moat from three dimensions: technology, market, and service:
1. Focus on core technology breakthroughs: Focus on breakthroughs in the localization of key components such as high-precision weighing sensors and high-speed servo systems, while increasing investment in intelligent algorithm research and development to improve the equipment's adaptability in multi-material and multi-specification scenarios.
2. Deepen scenario-based solutions: Move beyond the "selling equipment" mindset and provide customized services for the pain points of different industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. For example, providing layered vacuum packaging solutions for traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece companies and designing dust-proof filling systems for powder coating companies.
3. Comprehensive Lifecycle Services: Establishing equipment inspection standards and a consumable parts reserve system, through regular calibration, lubrication, and other preventative maintenance, can reduce equipment failure rates by 60%. Simultaneously, providing operation training and technical upgrade services helps customers maximize equipment value.
Future Outlook: Globalization and Ecological Innovation are New Blue Oceans
In the long term, the industry will exhibit two major development directions: In the domestic market, the explosive growth of emerging fields such as pre-prepared meals and new-style tea drinks will bring an average annual demand growth of 12.5%; in the international market, countries along the "Belt and Road" initiative will become the main drivers of growth, with strong demand for cost-effective customized equipment in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
Guangzhou Fame Machinery Co., Ltd. firmly believes that the granule and powder packaging machine industry is moving from a new era of "cost competition" to "value competition." Only by basing ourselves on technology, being scenario-oriented, and using service as a link can we stand firm in the wave of industry upgrading and provide customers in various fields with more efficient, accurate, and reliable packaging solutions.
