There is growing demand for packaged food mainly because of the rising busy lifestyle. Further, easy availability of packaged food is also boosting the sales of packaged food. Hence, the rise in packaged food market will drive the filling equipment market growth. Moreover, the fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry is witnessing rapid growth and forming an integral part of the economy. For example, FMCG is among the top 5 largest sectors in the Indian economy. Further, many major players such as Krones AG, Salzgitter AG (KHS Group) and others, have planned to invest millions of dollars in the expansion projects that are to be carried out during the forecast period to diversify the product portfolio and offer better service to the customers. 

Thus, rise in use of FMCG products and pharmaceutical products has led to increase in production capacity, which eventually increases the sales of new filling equipment and also increases the need of spare parts due to corrosion of the equipment. For instance, Unilever is opening a new plant in Dubai that will be producing beauty and personal care products. The company has planned to invest $250-$300 million for a 100,000 square meter plant. Thus, such expansions will help in the filling equipment market growth during the forecast period
