“Packaging machines segment is expected to register a significant growth rate between 2026 and 2032”
The packaging machines segment is likely to dominate the pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment market during the forecast period, due to its role in ensuring product safety and regulatory compliance. Packaging represents the final stage of production and directly affects product integrity and labelling accuracy. Shelf life and patient safety depend on secure packaging systems. Strict serialization and tamper-evident requirements increase investment in advanced solutions. Track and trace systems drive the integration of automated packaging lines. Packaging demand is strengthened by the requirement for manufacturers’ compliance with global anti-counterfeiting regulations, as well as the growing production of tablets and capsules. The segmental growth is further driven by the need for high-speed precision systems and the expansion of generic drug manufacturing. Furthermore, the need for compliant packaging systems due to rising exports and contract manufacturing growth drives the segment.
“Solid end-product type captured the largest share of the global pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment market in 2025”
The solid end-product type is expected to dominate the global pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment market during the forecast period due to the high production volume of tablets, capsules, and powders. Solid dosage forms offer longer shelf life and easier storage. Pharmaceutical companies invest in granulation systems and tablet compression presses.
