2020 Guide to Global Markets, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, examines global packaging and processing machinery markets using Omdia, Global Trade Atlas and Euromonitor data through 2019–2020 and benchmarks regional performance against pre‑pandemic baselines. The analysis indicates shifted demand patterns across regions and machine types and organizes findings into focus areas: market dynamics and trade barriers (imports, exports, duties), regulatory compliance and traceability (serialization, FSMA/FMD), format innovation and sustainability (flexible packaging, PET vs glass, single‑serve), and automation and operational resilience (multi‑format machines, cabinet‑less architectures). Charts highlight regional comparisons and trade flows, and emerging patterns show where suppliers tend to prioritize investments. The report reveals where engineering teams are prioritizing investments to strengthen operational resilience.
Published by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies in August 2020. Based on secondary analysis of Omdia market reports, Global Trade Atlas trade statistics, Euromonitor International industry data, and PMMI company/member records collected 2017–March 2020.
