End-of-Line machinery accounts for $4.42 billion, or 46.8%, of all domestic equipment purchases, with a 2015-2020 CAGR of 6.5%. Through 2026 the growth forecast is 5.13%.

What, specifically, is End of Line packaging? According to the PMMI Business Intelligence report 2021 End-of-Line Equipment Purchasing Trends and Design Insights, “EOL packaging, often referred to as bulk, tertiary, or transit packaging, is used to group larger quantities of SKUs to transport them from point A to point B (e.g., from production facility to point of sale). An example of tertiary packaging is a stretch-wrapped pallet containing a quantity of cardboard boxes to enable efficient product shipping.”
