Chinese packing machinery industry started late:The industrial system had not yet formed in 1982.After the reform and opening-up the market demand for packing machinery continued to increase,government’s attention and support increased,then Chinese packing machinery developed rapidly.The average annual growth rate of market demand was more than 30%;after the 1990s the demand was still growing at a rate of more than 20%.After more than 20 years of development,Chinese packing machinery has become one of the top ten industries in the machinery industry.As package has gradually evolved into a marketing tool,consumers’ demand for packaging convenience and product information has increased,the packing machinery market has made a great progress.From 2012 to 2020,the main business income of special packing equipment in China showed a growth trend as a whole,but the growth rate fluctuated greatly.

In recent years,Chinese packing machinery industry has achieved rapid development,but there are also some low-level repetitive constructions.According to relevant data,compared with industrialized developed countries,Chinese food packing machinery products are 25%-30% short of varieties,the technical level is 15-25 years behind.In the future,the development of Chinese packing machinery market will show the following trends:

1. The technical level of packing machinery is rising.Technical level of Chinese existing packing machinery products is low,while foreign countries have applied many advanced technologies to packaging machinery,such as long-distance remote control technology (including monitoring),stepper motor technology,automatic flexible compensation technology,laser cutting technology,information processing technology, etc..

2.Increasing monopolization of packing machinery market.At present,Chinese packing machinery doesn’t have a large-scale system,in addition to corrugated box packing machinery and some small packing machinery.Especially some complete packing production lines with large market demand have been monopolized by several large-scale packing machinery groups in the global packaging market.

3.Specialization in the production of packaging machinery components.The international packaging industry attaches great importance to improving processing level of packing machinery and universal ability of the entire packaging system.Therefore,the specialization of packing machinery components production is an inevitable trend in the development of packing machinery industry.Many parts and components manufacturers have changed from packaging machinery factories to standard parts suppliers. Some special parts are produced by highly specialized manufacturers. Well-known packaging machinery factories are most likely to belong to assembly factories.
