According to the survey, China's packaging machinery demand is expected to grow at a rate of 5.3% per year, and this year will reach 29 billion US dollars. The United States is the world's largest manufacturer of packaging equipment, followed by Japan, and other major manufacturers include Germany, Italy and China. However, in 2005, the fastest growth in the production of packaging equipment was in developing countries and regions. Developed countries will benefit from stimulating domestic demand and find suitable local manufacturers in developing countries to invest and provide packaging machinery and equipment.
France The French packaging machinery market has been growing steadily at a rate of 4% to 5% since 1998, and it is currently the third largest packaging machinery market in Europe. The French packaging machinery industry is mainly composed of small and medium-sized highly specialized companies. The French market currently has a characteristic, that is, the demand for flexible, versatile and automated machinery is increasing. Most of France's imported products come from the European Union, and products from the United States and Japan also account for a larger proportion. French packaging machinery is mainly exported to EU countries, while the United States is one of the main non-EU markets for French packaging machinery.
The market capacity of Russian packaging machinery in Russia is between US$5 billion and US$7 billion per year, of which only 20% of Russian manufacturers, and these manufacturers mainly produce semi-automated equipment, are currently unable to meet the overall needs of the Russian packaging industry. Germany, Italy, and Sweden are the main equipment importers. The most promising areas in the packaging machinery market sales from 2002 to 2004 are the food industry, beverage industry, pharmaceutical industry and personal care industry. Potential packaging equipment requires high quality, universal applicability of packaging materials, and moderate prices.
The American packaging industry started in the early 20th century and quickly formed a complete and independent industrial system. The total industrial output value accounted for 3% of the national economic output value. The packaging machinery with promising prospects in the United States is: horizontal pillow-type microcomputer control, packaging machinery equipped with a servo motor and a power control device with good film tension. In the future, microelectronics, computers, industrial robots, intelligence, image sensor technology and new materials will be more and more widely used in packaging machinery, which will make packaging machinery develop in the direction of automation, efficiency and energy saving.
Taiwan, China The packaging machinery industry in Taiwan has been developing for more than 30 years. Under the export-oriented economic structure, the packaging machinery industry has accelerated growth, and the demand for automation equipment has surged. In recent years, the industry has undergone industrial transformation, and the industry has continuously changed its business models and made substantial improvements in food packaging machinery technology. The demand for various packaging machinery will increase rapidly in the next few years. Because the production scale of the industry is generally too small, it is difficult to raise funds, technological transformation and attract talents. The lack of technology and talents has led to long-term dependence on foreign manufacturers for key parts and components, and it is difficult to improve product quality. Therefore, the import of various types of machinery in Taiwan will still need to be imported in the next few years.
