(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- The global Smart Conveyor Packaging Systems Market is entering a phase of unprecedented transformation, driven by the accelerating adoption of automation, AI-enabled operations, and Industry 4.0 standards across manufacturing and packaging environments. According to the latest industry assessment, the market is projected to grow from USD 7.5 billion in 2025 to USD 15.5 billion by 2035, recording a 106.7% expansion and a 7.5% CAGR over the forecast period. This decade-long growth reflects a 2.1x increase in market value, cementing smart conveyors as a critical component of next-generation packaging operations.

Market Evolution: A Two-Phase Growth Journey

Between 2025 and 2030, the market is set to rise from USD 7.5 billion to USD 10.7 billion, contributing USD 3.2 billion, or 40% of decade-long gains. This early phase is powered by surging demand from food, beverage, FMCG, and e-commerce packaging lines seeking higher throughput and reduced downtime. Manufacturers are increasingly shifting from conventional conveyors to intelligent, automated systems with real-time monitoring and rapid changeover features.

From 2030 to 2035, market momentum accelerates, adding USD 4.8 billion, or 60% of total growth. AI-enabled predictive maintenance, IoT-connected conveyor fleets, robotic integration, and energy-efficient designs will define this phase. Sustainability initiatives are also influencing procurement, with manufacturers opting for recyclable belt materials, low-power motors, and compact modular designs.
