Mobile Robots Poised to Overtake Industrial Machines on the Packaging Floor
For decades, the articulated arm has defined what a packaging robot looks like. That is beginning to change.
According to PMMI's 2026 Robotics in Packaging & Processing report, the U.S. robotics market for packaging and processing was worth more than $440 million in 2025 and is projected to reach roughly $800 million by 2031, an average annual growth rate of 10.3%.
Industrial robots still lead the field, holding 63% of the market in 2025, followed by mobile robots at 32%, collaborative robots at 5%, and humanoid robots at 0.1%. However, the forecast points in a different direction.
