3.6.2 Comparison of Chinese Beer Filling Equipment with Similar Overseas<br />
Products<br />
� Insufficient types of domestic machines are available<br />
� Low Level of Mechanic -Electric Integration and Automation<br />
� Unstable Quality<br />
� Little Application of New & High technology Techniques<br />
� Low Capability of <strong>Research</strong> & Development<br />
� Domestic equipment is suitable for medium -sized breweries while<br />
overseas filling lines suits large-scale breweries.<br />
3.6.3 <strong>Market</strong> Demand & Trends of Chinese Beer Filling Equipment<br />
(1) Since 1990, China has imported 72 filling lines from Germany, Japan, the<br />
United States, and Italy. Considering the commissioned date and the average<br />
durability of 10 years, approximately 60% of the above said imported lines can<br />
perform normally till the end of 2000, and 40% of them may operate until 2005.<br />
Therefore, the demand for upgrading or replacing beer filling lines in China will<br />
be substantial in the 21 st century.<br />
(2) According to the estimation of the China Food & Beverage Industry Association,<br />
approximately 800,000 tons capacity of beer filling equipment in China need to<br />
be upgraded or retrofitted each year. There is a greater demand for the<br />
medium-small-sized equipment with the annual production capacity of above 50<br />
thousand tons. Due to a late start in development, Chinese domestic equipment<br />
can only reach the international level of the early 1980’s. This creates great<br />
market potential for the overseas beer filling equipment manufacturers in China.<br />
(3) Draft beer has become increasingly popular in China in recent years, while the<br />
bottling of draft beer has just gotten started. At present, all filling lines for draft<br />
beer are imported. According to the predictions of the China Food & Beverage<br />
Industry Association, bottled draft beer will account for 40% of total beer output<br />
by 2005. Therefore, the filling lines for draft beer has great market potential in<br />
China.<br />
