The status quo of China's packaging machine development.

In China, packaging machine started relatively late, in the 1970s. After studying Japanese packing machine, the Beijing Institute of Commercial Machinery completed the manufacture of China’s first packaging machine. After more than 20 years of development, China’s packing machine has become one of the top ten industries in the machinery industry, providing a strong guarantee for the rapid development of China's packaging industry. Some packing machine has filled the domestic gap and can basically meet the needs of the domestic market. Some products are also been exported. However, at this stage, China's packaging machine exports are still less than 5% of the total output value, while the imports are roughly equivalent to the total output value, which is far from developed countries.



With the rapid development of the industry, there are also a series of problems. At this stage, the level of China's packing machine industry is not high enough. The packing machine market is becoming monopolized. Except for corrugated box packing machine and some small packaging machines which have certain scale and advantages, other packing machine is almost out of the system and scale, especially some complete packaging production lines that are in high demand on the market, such as liquid filling. Production lines, complete sets of equipment for beverage packaging containers, and aseptic packaging production lines are all monopolized by several major packing machine enterprise groups in the world packing machine market. Domestic companies should take active countermeasures in the face of the strong impact of foreign brands.

From the current situation, we can see that the global demand for packaging machine is growing at an annual rate of 5.3%. The United States has the largest packaging equipment manufacturer, followed by Japan, and other major manufacturers include Germany, Italy and China. However, in the future, the fastest growing production of packaging equipment will be in developing countries and regions. Developed countries will benefit from stimulating domestic demand and find suitable local manufacturers in developing countries, especially investing in food processing plants and providing packing machine and equipment. China has made great progress since its accession to the WTO. The level of China's packing machine has improved very rapidly, and the gap with the world's advanced level has gradually narrowed. With China's increasing opening up, China's packing machine will also further open up the international market.
