With the continuous tightening of global environmental regulations and the in-depth promotion of the "dual carbon" goals, solvent-free laminating equipment, leveraging its core advantages of zero VOC emissions, low energy consumption, and high efficiency, is becoming the mainstream production equipment in the fields of flexible packaging, medicine, food, and more, driving the packaging industry to accelerate its green transformation.
According to industry research data, the global market size of solvent-free laminating machines reached US$268 million in 2025, and is expected to grow to US$304 million by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate of 1.9%. In the domestic market, the procurement volume of solvent-free laminating process equipment increased by 45% year-on-year in 2024, a growth rate far exceeding that of traditional solvent-based equipment. Compared to traditional processes, solvent-free laminating equipment eliminates the need for drying tunnels, reducing energy consumption by 30%-50%. The production line speed can reach up to 400 meters per minute, while completely solving the problem of solvent residue, perfectly meeting the stringent safety standards of the food, pharmaceutical, and other industries.
Currently, solvent-free laminating equipment is undergoing accelerated iteration towards customization and intelligence. Local enterprises, represented by Jiangyin Hongsheng Packaging Machinery, leveraging two decades of deep industry experience, have launched a three-in-one solvent-free laminating machine and a customized series of equipment. These devices can achieve three-layer lamination in one molding process, streamlining procedures and reducing losses. Equipped with an Industry 4.0 remote operation and maintenance module, they support real-time monitoring and remote debugging, catering to both large enterprises' scaled mass production and small and medium-sized enterprises' flexible production needs. The equipment is exported to multiple countries and regions worldwide, becoming a benchmark for the industry's customization transformation.
Industry experts indicate that in the future, with the deep integration of technologies such as bio-based adhesives, AI intelligent coating, and digital twins, solvent-free laminating equipment will further enhance coating precision and production stability, achieving broader applications in diverse fields such as non-woven fabrics, textiles, and decoration, injecting strong momentum into the high-quality development of the global packaging industry.
