A food vacuum machine is a packaging apparatus designed to remove air from food packaging before sealing, contributing to increased shelf life and enhanced food quality. By reducing atmospheric oxygen, the machine inhibits the growth of aerobic bacteria or fungi and prevents volatile substances from evaporating.
The primary categories of food vacuum machinery include chamber vacuum machines, external vacuum machines, and tray sealing machines. An external vacuum sealer machine operates by removing air from the front of the bag, sealing it once the air is completely extracted at the end of the cycle. This versatile equipment finds application in various sectors, including industrial, commercial, and domestic settings. Its uses span across the packaging of bakery and confectionery products, beverages, meat and seafood, snacks and savory foods, convenience foods, dairy and frozen desserts, sauces, dressings, spices, condiments, fruits and vegetables, prepared foods, and more. In essence, the food vacuum machine serves as a crucial tool for preserving and maintaining the quality of a diverse range of food items throughout their lifecycle.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are affecting the food vacuum machine market by increasing the cost of imported sealing components, vacuum pumps, electronic controllers, and stainless steel housings. Industrial and commercial food processors in North America and Europe are most impacted due to dependency on imported machinery, while Asia-Pacific manufacturers face higher component sourcing costs. These tariffs have raised equipment prices and slowed procurement cycles for small and mid-sized food processors. On the positive side, tariffs are driving domestic manufacturing, local assembly initiatives, and innovation in cost-optimized vacuum packaging systems.
The food vacuum machine market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides food vacuum machine market statistics, including food vacuum machine industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a food vacuum machine market share, detailed food vacuum machine market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the food vacuum machine industry. This food vacuum machine market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The food vacuum machine market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $16.72 billion in 2025 to $17.91 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of packaged food consumption, growth of cold chain infrastructure, rising demand for preserved food products, increasing adoption of vacuum sealing in food processing, availability of compact packaging machinery.
The food vacuum machine market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.85 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for smart packaging solutions, rising investments in automated packaging lines, expansion of ready-to-eat food consumption, growing focus on sustainable packaging, increasing integration of IoT-enabled vacuum systems. Major trends in the forecast period include extended shelf life packaging demand, adoption of MAP technologies, compact vacuum packaging systems, automation in food packaging lines, rising focus on food waste reduction.
The rising demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) food is expected to drive the growth of the food vacuum machine market. Ready-to-eat food refers to meals that are prepared and packaged prior to serving, requiring no further cooking or preparation. Consumers are increasingly shifting from loosely offered food products to hygienically packaged, fortified RTE foods using food vacuum machines, driven by higher literacy rates and improved cleanliness standards. For example, in March 2024, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, a federal agency in Australia, reported that average daily food consumption was 3.2 kg per person, with 31.3% of energy intake from discretionary foods, 8.2% from free sugars, and daily sodium just under 2,400 mg, highlighting significant reliance on convenient, ready-to-eat options. Consequently, the growing demand for RTE food is fueling the expansion of the food vacuum machine market.
Major players in the food vacuum machine market are strategically introducing innovative products to drive revenue growth. The incorporation of features such as magnetic auto-sealing technology in vacuum sealers enhances user experience and efficiency. In April 2023, HiCOZY launched a vacuum sealer with magnetic auto-sealing technology, simplifying the operation for users. This technology eliminates the need for manual lid closure or physical button pressing, offering a seamless and automatic vacuum-sealing experience. The product's user-friendly features, such as bag-locating marks and adjustable sealing time, contribute to its appeal and market positioning.
In July 2024, ATS Corporation, a Canada-based technology company, acquired Paxiom Group for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, ATS aims to enhance its packaging-machine capabilities across primary, secondary, and end-of-line automation to better serve food and beverage, cannabis, pharmaceutical, and other manufacturing sectors. The acquisition also strengthens ATS's global integration and after-sales service presence and accelerates cross-selling opportunities across its automation portfolio. Paxiom Group, based in the U.S., specializes in providing primary, secondary, and end-of-line packaging machines and turnkey packaging automation solutions for food and beverage, cannabis, pharmaceutical, and related industries.
