Roll-On-Pilfer-Proof (ROPP) caps is a modern closure mechanism widely used for capping of beverage bottles. Various benefits of ROPP capping has rapidly increased its popularity across the globe. Like any other process, ROPP capping closure process is greatly benefited and became more productive by automation, and ROPP capping machines market become more competitive. Manual and efficient capping is very difficult and time consuming, and thus ROPP capping machines increased productivity and efficiency of the process of capping bottles with added features like pilfer-proof, non-refillable and many more. Adaptation towards various technological changes is the demand of a company to sustain in competitive market.
ROPP Capping Machines Market Dynamics
The major driver for the global ROPP capping machines market is the growing need for Closure of bottles with features that can protect it from exploiting its products. Roll-On-Pilfer-Proof capping stands for the capping of bottle that acquires the shape of bottle. It makes the capping process much easier for complex shaped bottles. Along with this, the caps are made such that once the bottle is opened, it is not possible to cap it again without a specific machine. This feature greatly reduces the possibility of exploiting the product which is driving the demand of global ROPP capping machines market. These caps also plays a major role in aesthetics of bottle. Various automated functions and safety features have made the market competitive. Capacity of ROPP capping machines is defined by rate of bottles capped per hour and by the range of diameter of opening that can be capped by the machine. Safety features like “No bottle No cap” and operation halt in absence of cap saves a lot of material creating it as the preferred capping solution ultimately driving the demand for the global ROPP Capping Machines Market.
For glass bottles, it is necessary for the machine to apply just enough pressure for capping such that the cap acquires the shape of the bottle as well as do not break it. Flexibility of machine to adapt for varied size of cap and bottle also plays an important role in success of the machine. Continuous research for increased automation and additional safety features is the key to sustain for long time in the ROPP capping market.

Due to high population and higher ratio of youth, Asia Pacific’ beverage consumption is expected to grow at very high rate and by 2021, expected to attain consumption of half of world’s demand. Latin America is positioned second after Asia Pacific in incremental rate of beverage consumption. Increased demand of soft drink and increasing population in Middle East has driven beverage market to increase three times to that of North America. Europe is paying highest contribution in global chemical industry. In 2014, global pharmaceutical industry exceeded one trillion US dollar of business for the first time. Cosmetic industry is increasing at a steady rate, particularly in US and European countries, rapid growth is experienced. Around two third of world’s caps and closures are made up of aluminum and ROPP caps shares half of its portion. All these facts signifies the huge demand of ROPP caps and ROPP capping machines for some end use industry in every region of the globe.
