How will Demand in India and China Impact Growth?

China and India have experienced a major transition through industrial revolutions in the past 5 years which is likely to continue in the years to come. Deblistering machine manufacturers operating in the Europe and the U.S. markets have significant opportunities to expand their business network and boundaries in South and East Asian regions. Factors such as low labor, production, and raw component cost in Asian countries have pushed manufacturers across the globe to expand their manufacturing facilities to countries in the Asian region, which enables Asia to emerge as a global manufacturing hub.

Furthermore, being one of the largest drug/medicine producers and exporters, Asian countries are likely to offer strong demand for deblistering machines during the forecast period. Considering all these factors, leading manufacturers operating in the global deblistering machines market can target Asia to maximize their sales and financial profitability.

How are High Import Duties Hindering Market Growth?

One of the major patterns observed in the global packaging machinery market is the export of machines from countries in Europe and the U.S. These countries generate significant revenue through sales of packaging and other machinery on a global scale. In the near future, Asian countries are going to become the manufacturing hub for machinery producers, owing to low production costs.

However, manufacturers in the Asian countries continue to witness issues in terms of quality standards similar to those of global machine manufacturing companies based in Europe and the US. Also, end-users from Asian countries are importing machines from European countries and the US.

However, imports have become one of the major issues for these companies due to high customs duties and various taxes imposed on the machinery imported from other countries. It should be noted that most of the companies present in emerging economies are small-scale manufacturers and it is very difficult for them to afford high-cost machinery. This factor somehow hinders the deblistering machines market growth to a certain extent.
