2017–2018 Mexico’s Packaging Machinery Market Summary, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, examines market dynamics across 2016–2018 using government trade data and industry surveys to benchmark supplier shares and import trends. Focus areas include trade‑policy uncertainty and investment outlook; technology adoption and line efficiency, including Wi‑Fi, RFID and laser sensing; and supplier competitiveness, service and machinery flexibility. The analysis indicates that NAFTA‑related uncertainty tended to slow food‑sector capital projects while domestic demand and export diversification generally show resilience. Charts highlight supplier‑share shifts and currency effects, and benchmark comparisons indicate where buyers prioritize flexibility, local service and total cost. The report reveals where engineering teams are prioritizing investments to strengthen operational resilience.
Published by PMMI in 2017. Based on secondary analysis of MILA and Mexico’s Secretariat of Economy import statistics and industry data, and interviews with Mexican packaging companies, covering 2007–2016 with analysis through 2017–2018.
