China's packaging machinery started late. In the 1970s, the Beijing Commercial Machinery Research Institute completed the manufacture of China's first packaging machine after studying Japanese packaging machinery. After more than 20 years of development, China's packaging machinery has It 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 packaging machinery has filled the domestic gap and can basically meet the needs of the domestic market, and some products are also exported. China's packaging machinery import volume is roughly equivalent to its total output value, which is far behind that of developed countries. While the industry is developing rapidly, there are also a series of problems. At this stage, the level of China's packaging machinery industry is not high enough. The packaging machinery market is becoming increasingly monopolized. Except for corrugated packaging machinery and some small packaging machines, which have certain scale and advantages, other packaging machinery is almost non-systematic and has no scale, especially some complete packaging production lines that are in high demand in the market, such as liquid filling production lines. , complete sets of equipment for beverage packaging containers, aseptic packaging production lines, etc., are monopolized by several large packaging machinery enterprise groups in the world packaging machinery market. Domestic enterprises should take active countermeasures in the face of the strong impact of foreign brands. Judging from the current situation, global demand for packaging machinery is growing at an annual rate of 5.3%. The United States has the largest producer of packaging equipment, followed by Japan, with other major producers including Germany, Italy and China. But the fastest growth in packaging equipment production in the future will be in developing countries and regions. Developed countries will profit from stimulating domestic demand and look for suitable local manufacturers in developing countries, especially to invest in food processing plants and provide packaging machinery and equipment. China has made great progress since joining the WTO. China's packaging machinery level has improved very quickly, and the gap with the world's advanced level has gradually narrowed. As China becomes increasingly open, China's packaging machinery will further open up the international market.

Most of my country's packaging companies are small in scale, and "small but complete" is one of their main characteristics. At the same time, they ignore the development requirements of the industry and repeatedly produce mechanical products that are low-cost, relatively backward in technology, and easy to manufacture. The industry is about One-quarter of enterprises have low-level duplication of production. This is a huge waste of resources, causing chaos in the packaging machinery market and hindering the development of the industry.

The annual output value of most enterprises is between a few million yuan and 10 million yuan, and there are still many enterprises with an annual output value below 1 million yuan. Nearly 15% of companies change production or go bankrupt every year, but another 15% join this industry, which is extremely unstable and hinders the stability of industry development.

With the continuous development of science and technology, new requirements have been put forward for packaging technology and equipment. Competition in packaging machinery is becoming increasingly fierce. In the future, packaging machinery will cooperate with industrial automation to promote the improvement of the overall level of packaging equipment and develop multi-functional, high-efficiency, low-consumption packaging equipment.
