Supermarket Perimeter - June 2024 - 16

For online ordering services, many retailers have partnered with
delivery apps like Instacart, DoorDash and Grubhub, while many larger
retailers also have their own apps for placing grocery orders.
Rochester, N.Y.-based Wegmans has a unique option on DoorDash
for some store locations for shoppers to order a fresh meal directly
from the prepared foods department, as if it were a restaurant separate
from the grocery store. This allows fresh food to be delivered faster
and for the delivery fee to be lower than it is for a grocery order that
requires more time and labor for the DoorDasher to shop and fulfill the
order. Not only does this option speed up delivery, but it also makes it
easier for consumers to find the prepared foods they are looking for.
Some retailers on Instacart also offer a separate express or grab-andgo
shoppable page for their stores for orders to be fulfilled faster than
the typical delivery window for grocery orders.
Packaging automation market grows
Redding, Calif.-based Meticulous Research published a report in May on
the packaging automation market.
The report predicts the market to be worth $118.8 billion by 2031 at a
CAGR of 10.1% from 2024 to 2031.
" Packaging automation is the process of packaging products using
automated technologies which require minimal or no manual intervention, "
Meticulous Research said. " Automated packaging systems have transitioned
from singular machines that automate one step in the packaging
process to integrating all steps seamlessly into the entire packaging
process. Packaging automation helps improve production speeds and
efficiency and ensures high quality control and standardization. "
According to the report, the three primary source of growth for the
packaging automation market are the following:
1. Rapid growth of the e-commerce sector
2. Increasing adoption of automated systems across industries
3. Stringent food safety regulations
The report also said market growth is hindered by the high costs of
initially installing the automated systems and that labor continues to be
a challenge for the industry.
" The high demand for packaging automation in the logistics industry
and the increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly packaging
are expected to create market growth opportunities, " Meticulous Research
said. " However, the shortage of skilled operators is a major challenge
for the players in this market. Integration of advanced technologies and
smart packaging are major trends in the packaging automation market. "
The report divides the market research into categories such as
offering, type and end-use industry. Within offering, the market is split
between solutions and services.
Solutions include things like case sealers and erectors, sleevers
and cartoners, palletizers and depalletizers, strappers, markers and
labelers, automated mailer systems, and case packers. Services include
consulting, installation and training, and support and maintenance.
