Packaging due to the protection of goods, easy circulation, convenient consumption, promote sales and enhance added value and other multiple functions, in modern society has been more and more widely used, its downstream involved in food, electronics, medicine, daily chemical, tobacco, home appliances, electrical and other industries of the national economy, is an indispensable part of the circulation of commodities. As a large country of packaging manufacturing and consumption, after more than 30 years of development, China's packaging industry has formed paper, plastic, metal, glass, printing, machinery as the main composition, with a certain modern technology and equipment, more complete categories of modern industrial system.

According to the different forms of packaging materials, plastic packaging materials can be further divided into: flexible packaging film, plastic woven products, packaging boxes and containers, foam packaging materials, packaging sheets and other types.

China's plastic packaging industry market size

China's plastic packaging industry is huge, and has maintained continuous and stable growth in recent years. According to the prospective industry research Institute released the "plastic packaging industry production and sales demand and investment forecast analysis report" data show that in 2016 China's plastic packaging industry to achieve product sales revenue of 286.832 billion yuan, an increase of 8.02%, nearly 5 years compound growth rate of 7.94%.

China plastic packaging industry main income

China plastic packaging after more than 30 years of development, Has initially formed a complete range of categories, with a considerable level of technology and a certain scale of the industry, in the packaging market occupies an important position, as China's plastic industry and packaging industry in one of the largest areas. In 2015, the main business income of enterprises above designated size in China's packaging industry was 11,36,548 million yuan, of which the main business income of plastic packaging (plastic film, plastic packing boxes and containers) accounted for 39.65%.

During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, driven by factors such as steadily promoting new urbanization and consumption upgrading, the market demand for petrochemical and chemical products will still maintain rapid growth. In 2015, China's urbanization rate is about 56%, is expected to exceed 60% by 2020, more than 50 million people will move from rural to urban, new urbanization and consumption upgrade will greatly promote energy, building materials, home appliances, food, clothing, vehicles and daily necessities demand increase, and then pull the demand for petrochemical and chemical products continued growth.

From 2016 to 2020, the added value of China's petrochemical and chemical industries will grow at an average annual rate of 8%. With its advantages of low consumables, light weight, easy transportation and chemical corrosion resistance, plastic packaging is widely used in the packaging of various granular and powdered petrochemical products and chemical raw materials; The continuous and stable growth of the petrochemical and chemical industry will create a broad market space for the upstream plastic packaging industry.

The lightweight trend of plastic packaging is more and more obvious

Lightweight is a commonly used industrial vocabulary in the current packaging field, that is, to produce packaging with less materials and reduce the weight of packaging. Reducing the weight of packaging is conducive to protecting the environment and reducing costs. When a plastic packaging is successfully implemented after lightweight, the use of resin materials in the process of plasticizing molding is reduced, which not only effectively saves resources and reduces costs, but also effectively protects the environment due to the reduction of waste after packaging use.

National industrial policy support

In recent years, the Chinese government has formulated a series of industrial policies to support and promote the development of plastic packaging industry to high performance, high quality and environmental protection.

The trend of industry integration began to appear

China's plastic packaging enterprises are large, the output value of enterprises above the scale accounts for the proportion of the total output value of the industry is relatively not high, the industry concentration is low, and most small and medium-sized enterprises lack core competitiveness. With the continuous improvement of the advantages of the industry in the level of technological innovation, process manufacturing level, management level and financial strength, China's plastic packaging industry has appeared the trend of industry integration. As a traditional manufacturing industry with obvious scale effect, the advantageous enterprises in China's plastic packaging industry have gradually realized rapid extension expansion with the help of modern capital means, which is conducive to the bigger and stronger of China's plastic packaging industry and the elimination of backward enterprises that are not competitive in the industry, thus helping to improve the overall strength of China's plastic packaging industry and promote the healthy development of the industry.
