2016 Thailand Packaging Machinery Market Assessment, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, examines Thailand’s packaging machinery market using trade data from 2006–2015 and primary research from 50 end‑user and 10 supplier interviews in 2015. Analysis indicates focus areas: competitive landscape and import dependence (Germany, Italy, Japan versus emerging Asian suppliers), wage‑driven automation and workforce planning that tend to prioritize secondary and end‑of‑line upgrades, and market entry and service models that generally favor local agents or sales offices for after‑sales. Charts highlight import trends and benchmarks, and emerging patterns show opportunities for suppliers offering integrated automation such as conveyors, cartoners and palletizers. The report reveals where engineering teams are prioritizing investments to strengthen operational resilience.
