China's Packaging Machinery Market Research Report - PMMI

(2) Domestic businesses that are seeking to better their competitive strength in the
international market in order to expand exports have to ameliorate the packaging
conditions. The backward domestic packaging machinery does not help achieve
greater exports. Large-scale businesses and foreign-invested enterprises tend to
purchase imported equipment.
(3) The market leaders in the respective industries tend to purchase imported
packaging machinery to maintain the superiority and popularity of their products
in the market.
(4) The government has paid very little attention to the packaging industry and it is
extremely difficult for the domestic packaging machinery manufacturers to
research and develop advanced equipment to compete with overseas products.
The imported packaging machinery products therefore have absolute superiority
in technology in the Chinese market.
To sum up, the substantial development of almost all industries in the Chinese
economy has produced enormous market potential for packaging machinery. It is
magnificent timing for PMMI Members to enter the China market. Overseas
packaging machinery is extremely attractive to domestic end users wanting to take
advantage of their technology, quality performance, and reliability. However, the
price for imported packaging machinery is about 5 to 10 times higher than those
similar domestic products. This indicates that the target market potentials of PMMI
members are the market leaders in each industry, large-scale businesses, and
foreign-invested or joint ventured enterprises, which have adequate financial
resources and strong demand for imported packaging machinery.
The Chinese packaging machinery industry began growing in the 1980’s. Currently,
the industry status still substantially lags behind international competitors. According
to the unique national situation and range of application, China has formed its own
standard of classification. The major categories include: Bagging-Filling-Closing
Packaging Machiner y, Vacuum Packaging Machinery, Sterile Packaging Machinery,
Beer Filling Equipment, Paper Packaging & Corrugated Paper Box Equipment,
Stooking Production Line, Coding Machinery, and Labeling Machinery.
