Trends In Pet Food Packaging and Their Impact on Packaging Machinery Design

A new study from PMMI Business Intelligence details next generation processing and packaging equipment needs for pet food manufacturers responding to consumer trends like sustainability, the humanization of pet food, and e-commerce.

E-commerce, along with sustainability, ethically sourced ingredients, new recipes, and packaging formats are driving changes to future packaging and processing lines.
E-commerce, along with sustainability, ethically sourced ingredients, new recipes, and packaging formats are driving changes to future packaging and processing lines.

The 30-page study, “Trends and Drivers Impacting the Pet Food Industry,” says sales of dog and cat food will continue to grow 5 percent each year around the world, but consumers are driving change in recipes, packaging formats, and ethical sourcing.

As demand increases for both wet and dry food, as well as treats and snacks, plant floor space will become tight.  Processing & packaging equipment designs will become more compact while maintaining or increasing operating speeds, maximizing this limited space.

Primary demands by CPGs are focused around the ease of adapting equipment to address varying types of products, packaging types, & volumes both for e-commerce and speed-to-market.
