Blackpool, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2015 -- According to a new report from the Ucima Research Department in Italy, a rise of 4.9% is expected in the global demand for packaging machinery. This means potential optimism for those involved in related industries, especially as more businesses are looking to package their own goods onsite and thus streamline their manufacturing processes.

The report also estimated that the packaging machinery sector would be worth up to €40.3bn by 2018. This is a considerable figure, and reasons for such large predictions include that at an international level there is increased demand for packing equipment in both Asia and Africa especially.

Therefore the time to both get involved and invest in packing machinery has perhaps never been better. Positivity is also enhanced due to developments in technology, which allow for increasingly innovative packing methods. Particularly popular as part of this is shrink wrap: which can be applied by machines which incorporate heat and a polymer film for a highly secure plastic coating. This is used across industries, and can help to preserve the shelf life of food too.

Quick to comment on the report was UWrap, a prime provider of shrink wrap machines and packing equipment. They frequently comment on industry news and have extensive experience in the field. A spokesperson had this to say:

"To be part of an expanding packaging machinery sector is certainly positive and a cause for optimism. After all, increasing numbers of businesses are making the bold and cost-effective decision to carry out their own packaging through bought machines, rather than outsourcing. It is great to support this business incentive and we want this positivity to be reflected in our affordable prices and efficient service."
