a. Imported food-packaging machinery from Sweden accounts for 27.1%.<br />
Main reasons: Despite the great changes in the soft drink industry over the past<br />
decade, germ-free packaging technology lags behind. Making use of the Chinese<br />
dependence on imported equipment, Sweden entered the Chinese market very<br />
early and enjoys the largest share of the market.<br />
b. Domestic machinery claims a considerable share in terms of numbers, although<br />
the percentage is just 11.5%. The reason lies in the price discrepancy between<br />
the domestic machinery and the imported ones that cost 10 times as much<br />
(2) Figure 2 reflects that the height of importation was concentrated between 1995<br />
and 1996. The next prime season of sales is expected to come at 2010, since the<br />
durability of the imported machinery lasts for 15 years as a rule.
