China's Packaging Machinery Market Research Report - PMMI

5. ANALYSIS ON MAJOR DOMESTIC SUPPLIERS
China’s packaging machinery industry developed rapidly in the 1990s. At present,
there are 1,600 packaging machinery manufacturers, 25% of them are large, with
over 1,000 staff, 35% medium ones with 300~1,000 staff, and 40% small ones with
fewer than 300 employees. In other words, most (75%) of such enterprises are of
small or medium scale with staff under 1,000. A reference table is provided below:
Scale Staff Sales RMB in million Proportion%
Large More than 1,000 More than 50 25
Medium 300~1,000 30-50 35
Small Less than 300 Less than 30 40
Viewed from the development history, China’s packaging machinery industry has
gradually diverged from an intensive production economy to a scope production
economy. The small-scope enterprises have found it more and more difficult to
adjust to the intense competition in the market economy. With the developme nt of
China’s overall economy, the need for packaging machines increases greatly, which
leads to the enlargement of the scope of producing enterprises. Such a tendency is
becoming all the more obvious with the intensifying competition. Therefore, more
large enterprises were selected for interviews in preparation of this report as
compared with small and medium ones.
