Introduction to Hand-Held Capping Machines
Hand-held capping machines are used for efficiently capping the bottle in such a manner that the liquid inside the container is protected during handling and shipping. These machines facilitate the bottling process and helps to increase the production output. The applications where the hand-held capping machines are used includes the industries where the products are packed in bottles which include drinking water, beverages, perfumes, foods and sauces, disinfectants, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, plastics and others.
Market Size and Forecast
As the technology is growing at rapid rate, there are several hand-held capping machines available in market which reduces the time and effort and also improves the accuracy in bottle capping. Driven by the digital integrated capping technology, the hand-held capping machines market is anticipated to record a significant CAGR over the forecast period, i.e., 2020-2028. The market is segmented by driven input into electric and non-electric. Among these segments, the non-electric segment is anticipated to hold the leading share in the market on account of its low costs, more torque and higher rpm range. The electric based segment, on the other hand, is anticipated to grow at the highest rate in the hand-held capping machines market owing to its provision of precise control and positioning of machine as well as its low operating and maintaining costs.
Growth Drivers
Increasing Demand for Packaged Drinking Water and Beverages to Boost the Market Growth
