Future development trend of the packaging industry analysis of the development prospects and market size of the packaging industry

Packaging refers to the general name of containers, materials, and auxiliary materials used according to certain technical methods to protect products during circulation, facilitate storage and transportation, and promote sales. The packaging market is relatively large, and packaging is not limited to boxes, bags, but also containers. Because the packaging has the function of wrapping the box, decorating the item and gaining the audience's favor is an important role of the packaging. Packaging is divided into paper packaging, plastic packaging, aluminum film packaging, and so on according to the material. It is worth noting that the container bag is a flexible transportation packaging container, which is widely used in the transportation and packaging of food, grain, medicine, chemical, mineral products, and other powdery, granular, and bulk items. Developed countries generally use containerized packaging. As a packaging product for transportation and storage, the bag is suitable for shipping bulk powder and granular materials.

Prediction of the future development trend of the packaging industry

After more than 30 years of development, my country's packaging industry has formed a packaging industry pattern with the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the Bohai Bay Rim as the key regions. From the perspective of output value distribution, the sum of the output value of the packaging industry in the above three regions accounts for more than 60% of the total output value of the national packaging industry. The data shows that the main business income of the packaging industry in key regions such as Guangdong, Shandong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu is still in the leading position in the country. With the implementation of strategies such as the large-scale development of the western region, the revitalization of the industrial base in the Northeast, and the acceleration of the gradient transfer of coastal industries to the central and western regions, the packaging industry in inland provinces has developed to a certain extent in recent years, but the overall industrial scale and technical level are not as good as those in coastal areas. There are still large gaps between regions.

According to the "China Packaging Industry Development Plan (2016-2020)", by the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan", the global packaging market demand is expected to exceed 1 trillion US dollars, and the average annual growth rate of the packaging industry will reach about 4%. The largest packaging consumer market and packaging product producer, the packaging industry growth rate will be more than 2.5% higher than the global average, and the development space is broad. The packaging industry is still in a stage of rapid development. With the discovery and use of more and more packaging materials, the types of packaging materials in my country are more abundant. China's packaging industry will meet the needs of building a well-off society in an all-around way and build a high-tech, economical It is a new type of Chinese packaging industry with good benefits, low resource consumption, less environmental pollution, and full use of human resource advantages. During the epidemic, paper packaging companies actively responded to the call, took the lead in resuming work and production, and rushed to produce packaging for epidemic prevention materials. Among these paper packaging factories, companies with a high degree of automation and intelligence have resumed work the fastest. Under the background that the whole country is paying attention to the express transportation and packaging industry, the development of paper packaging has ushered in opportunities.

According to the "2020-2025 China Packaging Industry Panoramic Survey and Development Strategy Research and Consulting Report" by the Research Institute of China Research Institute:

2020 Packaging Industry Development Status and Market Prospect Scale Analysis

our country's packaging industry has experienced a stage of rapid development and has now established a considerable production scale, which has become an important part of my country's manufacturing field. Although the overall development of my country's packaging industry is good, it has become the second-largest packaging country in the world after the United States. However, there is still a big gap between the per capita packaging consumption and the major countries and regions in the world, and the various segments of the packaging industry will have a broad market development space in the future.

At present, there are a large number of domestic enterprises engaged in the packaging industry, the concentration of the packaging industry is relatively low, and it is in a stage of the full competition with a high degree of marketization. In general, the independent innovation ability of my country's packaging industry is not enough, and most enterprises do not have the research and development ability to meet the market demand. Domestic packaging manufacturing enterprises are generally small in scale and relatively simple in the product structure.

The annual output value of China's packaging industry is nearly 2 trillion, and the packaging industry has ranked 14th among China's 38 major industrial categories, becoming an important part of China's manufacturing system. At present, my country's packaging industry has formed an independent, complete and complete industrial system with paper packaging, plastic packaging, metal packaging, glass packaging, packaging printing, and packaging machinery as the main products. Paper packaging and plastic packaging products are the most widely used in the Chinese market, followed by metal packaging and glass packaging. The rapid development of China's packaging industry not only basically meets the needs of domestic consumption and commodity exports, but also plays an important role in protecting commodities, facilitating logistics, promoting sales, and serving consumption.

The "13th Five-Year" development plan of China's packaging industry points out that the total export volume of packaging products will increase by more than 20% compared with the "12th Five-Year" period, and the global market share will not be less than 20%. Focusing on green packaging, safety packaging, intelligent packaging, and general military and civilian packaging, a number of major projects will be implemented, a number of R&D bases will be built, and a number of key technologies will be broken through. The localization rate of new packaging materials and important packaging equipment has been increased to 60% and 75% respectively, the total amount of patent authorization has increased by 50% compared with the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, and the transformation rate of scientific and technological achievements has reached or approached 25%.

According to data released by the China Packaging Association, in 2019, there were 7,916 enterprises above the designated size in my country's packaging industry (industrial legal person enterprises with annual revenue of 20 million and above), and the number of enterprises increased by 86 compared with 2018. The national packaging industry achieved a cumulative operating income of 1,003.253 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.06%, of which the paper and cardboard container manufacturing completed a cumulative operating income of 289.717 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 3.15%. The national packaging industry achieved a total accumulated profit of 52.676 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.28%, of which the total accumulated profit of paper and cardboard container manufacturing was 13.891 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 4.95%.

In 2019, the cumulative growth rate of operating income of enterprises above the designated size in the packaging industry decreased by 5.47% compared with the same period in 2018, and the growth rate of cumulative total profits increased by 2.36% compared with the same period in 2018.

In total, China has become the world's largest packaging country, but there is a big gap with developed countries in terms of variety, quality, new product research and development capabilities, and economic benefits. The mid-to-high-end packaging basic materials and packaging machinery (food and beverage packaging, plastic films, etc.) that represent the forefront of packaging technology are still monopolized by developed countries such as Europe, America, and Japan. The domestic packaging industry mainly has small-scale of enterprises, low-level repeated construction, and low industrial concentration; packaging products are few in variety, low in quality, and low in technical content; product structure is unreasonable, and major high-end packaging equipment and raw and auxiliary materials rely heavily on imports; packaging science The investment in technology research and development is low, and the innovation ability is insufficient; the recycling rate of packaging waste is low.

What is the market prospect of the packaging industry?

With the rapid development of my country's packaging industry, the role of packaging production in promoting the construction of the national economy and improving the material and cultural life of the people has become increasingly apparent. As an independent industrial system, the development of the packaging industry has been included in the national economy and society. development plan. The packaging products whose annual output ranks at the forefront of the world are corrugated cardboard, plastic woven bags, composite flexible packaging, and metal drums, among which the output of corrugated cardboard ranks second in the world.

With the rapid development of China's economy, the increase in medical expenses caused by the improvement of people's living standards and the aging of the population, the intensification of new drug development, the acceleration of the reform of the medical security system, and the expansion of medical insurance for urban residents, the industry will continue to maintain rapid growth momentum. In addition, the quality and variety of packaging materials in China are significantly lower than at the international level. In developed countries, packaging accounts for 30% of product value, while in China it is less than 10%. The next few years will be a period of rapid development in China's packaging industry.
