Various industries promote the increase of global packaging machinery and equipment

According to statistics, the demand for global packaging machinery is expected to increase at an annual rate of 5.3%. Packaging equipment manufacturers are mainly concentrated in the United States, Japan, Germany, Italy and China. According to geography, the demand for foreign packaging machinery market is different. According to relevant data, the food and beverage industry occupies an important position in the national economy. The proportion of investment in the world is also very large, and it is also the largest buyer of packaging machinery, accounting for approximately 60% of the share. The pharmaceutical industry is an industry that is least affected by economic fluctuations, because drugs are the basic needs of people's lives. This industry purchase accounts for about 20% of all packaging machinery.

Recently, the German trade association VDMA stated that the world packaging machinery has been increasing for many years. Driven by demand from emerging markets, sales in 2015 are expected to exceed US$40 billion. The MPI Group reported that although manufacturing plants around the world continue to reduce production capacity, nearly half of the companies plan to increase their spending on production equipment.

GIA believes that the main driving force behind the growth of sales of packaging equipment is due to the development of markets in emerging countries, especially the Asia Pacific region, Latin America and the Middle East. GIA explained that this is due to the accelerated development of industries in emerging countries, the rapid expansion of food processing and durable consumer goods industries, and the large amount of foreign investment. At the same time, developed countries also play a huge role.

Germany's packaging machinery and equipment are leading in design, production, technology and other aspects; China is an important importer of German packaging machinery, especially in food processing and packaging machinery. Germany's major importers of packaging machinery are the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia. Germany's packaging machinery ranks first in the world with 85% of the shares.

The development of packaging machinery in the United States is very long. It has formed an independent and complete packaging machinery system. Its variety and output rank first in the world. Since the 1990s, the packaging machinery industry in the United States has maintained a good momentum of development. The American Packaging Machinery Factory is attached to the large packaging material factory and sales are totally dependent on the parent company.

The Japanese packaging machinery manufacturers, mainly small and medium-sized enterprises, currently have more than 200, in addition, there are more than 100 packaging materials, packaging machinery and related equipment manufacturers, packaging machinery, nearly 500 kinds of specifications 700. Packaging machinery is mainly Small and medium-sized single, with small size, high precision, easy installation, easy operation, high degree of automation.

Italy is the world’s fourth largest producer of packaging machinery and the second largest exporter of packaging machinery. Italian packaging machinery has excellent performance and elegant appearance, and is cheap. The proportion of exports accounts for about 80%; the United States is the largest export market.

As we all know, the history of the EU packaging industry because of its different industrialization process, the process used is not the same, which also caused the diversified development characteristics of the packaging industry in EU countries, and the development of China's packaging machinery industry started late, but due to Its huge market potential, rapid development has gradually become a big industrial country for packaging machines, and it is also developing towards internationalization. EU countries have also become a market with China in the packaging machine industry.

The competition in the packaging industry has become a global competition. How to survive in such an environment has become a problem that many companies are thinking about. The demand for packaging machinery for beverages, pharmaceutical and personal care products, and chemical products has grown rapidly. Freedonia predicts that food will account for 43% of global sales in 2014, of which beverages will grow fastest with an average annual economic growth rate of 5.3%. This is not surprising, given that there may be 9 billion people living on earth in 2050, they all need to eat and drink. Therefore, automation, intelligence, and integration will become the main trends in the development of the packaging industry.
