China's Packaging Machinery Market Research Report - PMMI

3.3.3 Status Quo of Chinese Vacuum Packaging Machinery
(1) There are very few manufacturers in China specializing in vacuum
packaging machinery. Mostly, other machine manufacturers have other
main products and offer vacuum packaging machines as a smaller part of
their primary business.
(2)
(3) Many domestic manufacturers are engaged only in the assembly work while
purchasing the basic components from abroad and contracting the structural
parts to other businesses.
3.3.4 Market Demand & Trends for Chinese Vacuum Packaging Machinery
(1) Vacuum packaging machinery is widely applicable and has great market
demand. It is applied to the protective packaging for foodstuffs,
pharmaceuticals, electronic components, chemical materials, precise
instruments, textiles, and garments. The application possibilities are
constantly increasing. There is substantial market potential for such
machinery.
(2) According to the figures of the China Packaging Machinery Association,
domestic products cannot meet a considerable proportion of Chinese market
demands, which indicates the enormous market potential.
(3) At present, more medium to small-sized Chinese users choose domestic
equipment due to price concerns. However, for those larger users with large
output and assured quality, imported machinery are preferred due to the lack
of qualified and special-purposed vacuum packaging machinery in China.
