Market Status and Market Scale Analysis of China's Packaging Machinery Industry in 2021
Since 2019, driven by new growth points in downstream food, medicine, daily chemicals and other industries, the output of special packaging equipment in China has increased year by year. With the continuous improvement of the overall strength of my country's packaging machinery industry, the export volume of my country's packaging machinery products is increasing, and the export value is increasing year by year. Today, my country has become the fastest growing, largest and most potential packaging machinery market in the world.
1. The output of special packaging equipment is increasing year by year
Packaging machinery refers to machinery that can complete all or part of the packaging process of products and commodities, mainly to complete weighing, filling, wrapping, sealing and other processes, as well as related pre- and post-processes, such as cleaning, stacking and disassembly, etc.; Processes such as metering or stamping on the package can be completed. The use of mechanical equipment to package products can improve production efficiency, reduce labor, directly improve the economic benefits of enterprise production, meet the needs of mass production, and meet the standard of clean environment.
In the continuous and large-scale industrial production process, packaging is the last process. Packaging can play the functions of protecting, beautifying, publicizing, and selling products, improving the competitiveness of commodities, and realizing packaging automation can effectively improve production capacity, ensure product quality, and help reduce production costs. Packaging automation is the use of automated devices to control and manage the packaging process so that it can be carried out automatically according to pre-specified procedures.

The new growth point of the industry drives the overall growth of the packaging machinery industry
Fast-moving consumer goods such as food and beverages, electronics, medicine and other highly dynamic and intelligent subdivisions take digital transformation and intelligent manufacturing as the main driving force, and take the transformation and upgrading of traditional production lines as the main form. The need for production lines is increasing. With the rapid industrial upgrading of traditional food, automated brewing, consumer electronics, solid medicine and other fields in recent years, it has further stimulated the overall growth of my country's packaging machinery industry.

Small business
There are many small and medium-sized enterprises in my country's packaging machinery industry, with relatively small scale, weak independent research and development capabilities, few high-starting enterprises, many low-level repetitive constructions, weak comprehensive competitiveness, and no well-known brands in the world. Nearly 15% of companies in the industry change production or close down every year, but another 15% of companies join the industry. Affected by the epidemic in 2020, many companies will switch to making mask machines or related industries.

The intelligent level of packaging machinery has been significantly improved
Since my country released "Made in China 2025" in 2015, the process of China's intelligent manufacturing has started an accelerated stage. Under the wave of intelligence, mechanical intelligence has become an important development focus in the industrial field, and this also makes packaging machinery inevitably transform to intelligence. In recent years, with the support of the national industrial policy, some enterprises have greatly improved their technical level through independent innovation, introduction and absorption of foreign advanced technologies. The automation ratio in the field of packaging machinery in my country has exceeded 50%, which has laid a good foundation for the development of intelligence. .
"2016-2021 China Packaging Special Equipment Output and Growth"
(Unit: 10,000 units, %)
In 2020, the output of special packaging equipment in my country reached 263,400 units, a year-on-year increase of 25.2%. As of April 2021, the output of special packaging equipment in my country was 228,200 units, an increase of 244.6% over the same period in 2020.
2. The export value is increasing year by year
Before the 1980s, my country's packaging machinery was mainly imported from Germany, France, Italy, Japan and other world machinery and equipment manufacturing powerhouses. After more than 20 years of development, China's packaging machinery 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. Products are also exported.
According to the statistics of the General Administration of Customs of China, from 2018 to 2019, my country imported about 140,000 packaging machinery and exported about 9 million packaging machinery. . It can be seen that with the continuous improvement of the overall strength of my country's packaging machinery industry, the export volume of my country's packaging machinery products is increasing.

"2017-2021 China's Packaging Machinery Import and Export Value" (Unit: US$100 million)
From the perspective of import and export amount, the import amount of my country's packaging machinery fluctuates and changes, and the export amount increases year by year. In 2020, my country's total import of packaging machinery will reach 1.570 billion US dollars, and the export value will reach 2.962 billion US dollars.

作为国民经济许多领域配套的产业，包装行业受益于其他行业的繁荣，它的技术进步和配套服务也反作用于其他行业。随着社会物质文明和精神文明的不断提升，国内外包装机械行业的竞争也越发激烈，中国包装机械行业面临着新的挑战。多用途、高品质、高效率、智能化等将成为未来包装机械产品的发展方向：
多用途，高品质
包装是商品进入流通领域的必要条件，跟随包装工业和消费者的消费需求、消费理念，生产出拥有更高质量的包装机械是行业发展的关键。包装机在满足功能需求和安全生产的条件下，一直在寻求高品质、个性化，强灵活性。这就要求设备功能化要强，能适应不同的包装形式、形状、尺寸、材料结构和闭合结构等作为标准功能不再需要添加附件或其他定制解决方案，能全面有效地解决各种用途的产品需求。
高效率，智能化
受下游行业市场竞争愈发激烈、规模化和集约化生产形式、人力资源成本上升等因素的影响，包装设备在生产和物流环节发挥着越来越大的作用，高度自动化、高效化、智能化、节能化的包装设备已然受到下游行业青睐，传统的包装设备逐步与现场总线技术、传动控制技术、运动控制技术、自动识别技术和安全检测技术等不断结合，使智能包装设备应运而生并不断改进。全自动、无人化、一体成型的包装设备正是目前蓬勃发展的大好时机。包装机械将配合产业自动化趋势，不断促进智能包装设备总体竞争力的提升。
绿色环保
Green environmental protection is an unchanging environmental theme in the future. For the packaging industry, which is closely related to people's lives, how to improve machinery, how to better adapt to the concept of green production, how to make production safer, more refined, and more suitable for needs, etc. The problem is also a social issue that requires Chinese companies to think about in advance.
