Status and development trend analysis of the paper packaging industry

Summary: At present, China's packaging industry has basically reached the international advanced level, and has been among the ranks of the world's largest packaging country, and GDP in the past five years at an average rate of 20% annual increase. Carton industry developed areas in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Fujian, Shandong, whether tile line intensive and there is excess state sales, sales value and tile line equipment accounted for nearly 60% of carton industry.


At present, China's packaging industry has basically reached the international advanced level, and has been among the ranks of the world's largest packaging country, and GDP in the past five years at an average rate of 20% annual increase. According to data provided by the State concerned, in 2008 the country (except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions) packaging industry output value reached 860 billion yuan, equivalent to more than 1260 billion US dollars, has become the world's second-largest packaging country. In accordance with this momentum, the 2010 output value of China's packaging industry fully grasp the 12,000 yuan mark a breakthrough. Chinese paper packaging products output ranks first in the world. Paper packaging products have basically met the 500 million total domestic retail sales and pluralistic $ 600 billion export goods packaging matching demand. 2008 January to December, the national total production is about more than 1800 tons of corrugated boxes, an increase of approximately 10% compared with 2007, the national output of 31.58 million tons of paper products, corrugated box production accounted for 57% of the total output of paper products, and has become the main driver of the paper products industry.

China's GDP growth since 1995, with an annual 8% to 9%. China's packaging industry output growth of 18%; while China's paper packaging production value reached 150 billion yuan, accounting for the whole packaging industry is 37.13 percent, paper packaging occupies a major position in the packaging industry, the role of paper packaging products in the national economy increasingly clear that the industry events and people living on the paper packaging material dependency is growing.

Our corrugated box industry is the rapid development in recent years, the average annual growth rate of 18% to 20%. 2000 China corrugated board production was 12.5 billion square meters, in 2008, the annual consumption of up to 33.6 billion square meters of corrugated board, 8.8 billion square meters of continuous output increase for four years, an annual growth rate of 11.9 percent, much higher than the world average growth rate. Corrugated boxes worth 146 billion yuan. Production in 2009 amounted to 36.7 billion square meters, accounting for 19.3% of world production. Asia accounted for 30% of production, the rapid growth of its paper sales in stark contrast with the United States and other parts of the world sales shrink.

According to the introduction of the Asian Association of corrugated board, China will become Asia's center of gravity and corrugated board production and marketing leader, the rapid growth of China corrugated industry (the emergence of Japan, Korea, Singapore and other negative growth) in stark contrast with Asia. In 2010, China may well surpass Europe and the United States to become the world's largest producer of corrugated board.

Is expected to 2005-2010, the global corrugated box production annual growth rate will remain at around 4%, which, in North America and Western Europe, these two mature market, once a modest downturn in the market is expected to rebound, as well as Central and Eastern European markets, the growth rate will slow down. In most of the region is rapidly emerging Asian corrugated box production average growth rate remained at around 9%, in particular China and the growth rate of the Hong Kong SAR, India, and Southeast Asia and other countries and regions will be further accelerated. In 2010, global demand for corrugated box market will grow 387 billion square feet, of which 54% of the demand will come from China and India. According to industry experts predict that China's demand for carton board, is expected to 13.7 million tons in 2010 to 2015 to 17.5 million tons, an increase of 27.7%; the demand for corrugated paper, 2010 is expected to 13.2 million tons in 2015 to 16.4 million tons, an increase of 24.2%.

According to the development trend of China's macroeconomic development and the paper packaging industry, the demand for paper and paperboard is expected to in 2010 and 2015, compared with 2005, linerboard demand changes: 1022.92 → 1368.9 → 1747.1 (tonnes); corrugated paper changes in demand: 985.47 → 1318.78 → 1638.14 (tons). In the next decade, corrugated packaging still has much room for development. At present, China's per capita annual consumption is about the amount of cartons 55kg, is the sixth American, Japan's fifth quarter in Europe, half in India. This is indicative of China's economic development potential demand for carton packaging is enormous. Per capita paper consumption has become an important symbol to measure national development and degree of social civilization crystal economy internationally.

Carton industry in China in 2009 (including paper products) there are some bright spots in development. Carton industry to invest and build factories in their own strength and backward areas to central and western regions to promote the development of the industry.

Carton industry developed areas in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Fujian, Shandong, whether tile line intensive and there is excess state sales, sales value and tile line equipment accounted for nearly 60% of carton industry. The current focus of development should be the central and western regions and backward areas of packaging, only a very small part of the backward provinces tile line, there developed provinces to help the development of backward areas of tile line situation, such as Zhejiang Jingxing, Fujian Hop Hing Chongqing in the west , Chengdu, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia; Guangdong Ya respectively in Wuhan, Beijing; Changzhou Ji spring new carton business in Tianjin, respectively. Especially Fujian Hop Hing Packaging carton in the country to establish 14 new plants, they are characterized by large scale, large investment, advanced equipment, a complete management system, and has become corrugated packaging enterprises, led the carton industry.

In order to improve the market competitiveness of enterprises to expand the scale of enterprises currently packaged by extending industrial chain. Zhejiang Shengda Paper Packaging Development Group, based out of the industry, out of the region, in order to develop an industry-based cross-sector economy. After several years of efforts, the development of tissue, paper, textiles, chemicals, steel, real estate, logistics and other seven industries, 13 subsidiaries, 2008 GDP across the Group has more than 5.4 billion yuan. Zhejiang on the peak Group paper based packaging industry, while the development of cement products, real estate and other industries, in 2008 the Group output value of nearly 2 billion yuan, the profit reached 160 million yuan. Zhejiang Jingxing Paper Group papermaking industry, to the advantage of the development of paper and paper packaging industry, the formation of paper - cardboard - cardboard industry chain, to obtain a significant overall economic strength. Shenzhen Huali, Taiwan Cheng Loong, Japan and other foreign joint venture also opened a number of provinces and cities nationwide carton printing business; some large corporate customers downstream development of packaging and printing products, efforts to cartons, boxes and color combine to form paperboard - carton - printing industry chain, such as Haier, Tianjin Dynasty, Shanghai Tobacco, no Xi Keda, bump packaging.

Innovative paper products. Corrugated cardboard from a single product to product-based to innovative products extend and increase added value of corrugated products. In recent years, some basic good corrugated box business, from design and process innovation to proceed, the production of corrugated successful product innovations, such as Shanghai Jielong Printing, Zhejiang Shengda, on the peak, longitude, CWB, Beijing a carton factory a large number of enterprises as carefully planned to corrugated material innovative products, fine supermarket shelves, display, furniture, supplies, office supplies, paper toys, paper podium, cushioning materials, paper boxes and so on trombone. Zhejiang longitude of reform and innovation, material cost reduction for users Delixi Electric improved carton packaging, reducing paper weight, change tile improve the utilization of paper, reduce the process to improve efficiency and reduce freight per year cost savings for the user 1.9 million cartons yuan. In recent years, research and development in packaging paper packaging paper, corrugated cardboard machine quality lightweight technology, food packaging technology with a functional special cardboard, paper bag production technology, high oxygen and hydrogen peroxide bleaching of pulp and less polluting technologies, to no chlorine bleaching of pulp as the main raw materials to produce development and application of technology, corrugated cardboard and cardboard honeycomb core applications cushioning technology, pulp plastic membrane technology has made gratifying achievements.

Domestic carton machinery Pat formed six major production base (Hubei Jingshan, the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, east light, Shandong, Central). According to the statistics report of the US Commission on PMMI's Packaging Machinery Manufacturers, China's packaging machinery consumption last year was $ 6 billion, second only to Germany, the United States, the consumption of packaging machinery ranked the third largest country, show packaging equipment manufacturers have good domestic market demand in the global machinery market occupies a dominant position. According to statistics, at present, China's corrugated board production line imported tile lines accounted for 8%, Taiwan 15%, domestic line accounted for 77%, of which in domestic market share, accounting for 27 percent of Hubei Jingshan, ranked first; Toko 24% , ranked second. Hubei Jingshan its single machine market share of 37%. Hebei Dongguang mainly aimed at small and medium enterprises, more stable market share of 20%. Other brands more fragmented market, the market share remained in the single digits. Since 2009, input tax can be deducted procurement of equipment, business equipment increased purchasing power and willingness to buy, the equipment manufacturers are in the process of indirect beneficiaries of the VAT reform.

From a regional structure, the southeast coastal areas of the packaging industry remains a huge advantage. Which is still the largest share in East China, South China, the Bohai Sea region, the packaging industry output value accounted for 55.78 percent of the country's total industrial output value of packaging. The largest increase in industrial output in the Northeast region, growth reached 32.89 percent. Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai and packaging industry and packaging industry paper packaging industry in China developed regions, the country's packaging industry output value of the six former provinces.

From each of the regions of the country's packaging industry output value changes, the ring ratio of the country's seven regions have different rate of growth. The largest increase in the top three were the northeast, northwest and southwest. This shows that the economic development of China's old industrial areas and economically less developed areas is gradually improving. GDP growth is the Northwest's largest, growth reached 14.29 percent; followed by South China, growth reached 14.18 percent.

The strong momentum of development of regional economy, led to the development of regional packaging industry. The same year, the Pearl River Delta, Guangdong packaging output value accounted for more than 5% of total GDP, has become a pillar industry in the Pearl River Delta region. 2003 output value of 59 billion yuan in Jiangsu Packaging, Shanghai 22.5 billion yuan, 40 billion yuan in Zhejiang, a total of about 101.5 billion yuan, accounting for 4.5% of GDP in the same year, the Yangtze River Delta, are far higher than the national average of 2%, according to the State statistics, more than the Pearl River Delta region. Bohai Rim regional economic development relatively late in the two regions share is slightly lower, the packaging industry, but is starting the revitalization strategy, in the near future, it will become the new engine of China's economic development, and lead China's regional development priorities northward . The three major economic regions around the packaging industry accounts for approximately 3/4 of the country that year. "East West Express slow, strong west to east" are quite obvious, northeast, west and in the less developed regions of origin is relatively weak. The development of packaging industry has become increasingly reflect an important indicator of the level of economic development, it has become an important pillar industry of the regional economy. In the form of three regional blocks carton industry, led to the development of China's containerboard manufacturing industry, 2009 China corrugated market consumption of 3,000 tons. Three box board production bases have been formed accordingly; Pearl River Delta region, with a total annual production capacity of 700 to 800 tons; Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui region including a total annual production capacity of around 800-900 million tons; Beijing, Tianjin Tang, including Hebei, Shandong Province, with a total annual production capacity has reached 600-700 million tons.
