[China Packaging Network News] At present, China's export value of packaging machinery is still less than 5% of the total output value, but the import value is roughly the same as the total output value. This shows that China's demand for packaging machinery gap is very large, compared with foreign products, domestic packaging machinery, the gap between the level of science and technology is still relatively large, far from meeting domestic demand.
At present, the export value of packaging machinery in China is less than 5% of the total output value, but the import amount is roughly equivalent to the total output value. This shows that China's demand for packaging machinery gap is very large, compared with foreign products, domestic packaging machinery, the gap between the level of science and technology is still relatively large, far from meeting domestic demand. There are about 1,300 kinds of food packaging machinery in China, but all lack high-tech, high-precision, high-quality accessory products, low product performance, poor stability and reliability, short life span, rough surface treatment, and unattractive appearance.
From the perspective of business status, about 2,000 of the nearly 7,000 companies are not stable enough. Nearly 15% of the companies convert or close down each year. At the same time, about the same number of new companies enter the industry; The lack of leading companies, annual sales exceeds 100 million yuan. There are only a dozen companies in the yuan, and about 50 companies have annual sales of more than 30 million yuan. From the point of view of scientific research product development, it still basically remains in the test imitation stage, and its self-development ability is not strong, and scientific research investment is low. The funds only account for 1% of sales, while developed countries are as high as 8% to 10%.
How to further enhance the overall strength of China's food packaging machinery industry, so that it can participate in the international trend of competition, catch up with international standards, the industry believes there are three possibilities:
First of all, we will nurture and develop high-end equipment manufacturing industries and build industry-renowned brands. “Our food and packaging machinery industry must focus on cultivating and developing high-end equipment manufacturing, strengthen core R&D, break through key weaknesses in key product areas, seize the commanding heights of future industry development, maintain sustainable development, and become bigger and stronger. Create necessary conditions.
Second, improving the quality and efficiency of industrial development is an inherent requirement for changing the mode of economic development. At present, the export volume of Chinese food and packaging machinery is still very small. There was still a deficit of US$1.35 billion last year, indicating that quite a few are still at the low end of industries relying on simple processing and efficiency gains from cheap labor, and the road to go is long. The low level of product profit, coupled with the increase in prices, the relative shortage of energy, and the multiple demands for environmental protection, have gradually weakened the comparative advantages of the products, and the comparative disadvantages have become increasingly prominent.
Third, strengthening industrial common technology research is a strong guarantee for improving the innovation capability of China's food and packaging machinery industry. At present, the common technology research in China's food and packaging machinery industry lags behind and lacks effective systems and mechanisms, and lacks overall planning and policy protection. In recent years, due to institutional mechanisms and commercial interests, etc., the general technology research has not been able to form a scale, and it has not been systematic and continuous, and the results obtained have been very limited.
Based on the above three points, the biggest reason for the failure of packaging machinery is the insufficient supply of scientific and technological research and development, which has led foreign companies to not invest in Chinese products. Moreover, food and packaging machinery are not safe and strictly regulated, so that foreign businesses will not believe in Chinese products. China’s food and packaging machinery will slowly reduce its export volume. If it does not improve, China’s food and packaging machinery industry will It will become a sunset industry.
