2018 Brazil Packaging Machinery Market Assessment, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, examines Brazil’s packaging equipment landscape with a focus on 2017–2018 trends using industry interviews, national statistics and trade data. The analysis indicates several focus areas: workforce and service models (skills, local after‑sales and co‑packer use), capital and currency strategies (leasing and local assembly to hedge foreign‑exchange risk), and automation and packaging innovation (end‑of‑line automation, e‑commerce‑driven pack durability and smaller pack formats). Emerging patterns show a tilt toward versatile machines with local support, while charts highlight shifting import origins and sectoral growth pockets. The report reveals where engineering teams are prioritizing investments to strengthen operational resilience.
