Plastic soft packaging industry has excess capacity
Plastic soft packaging industry has excess capacity
As a necessary packaging form, plastic soft packing is widely used in the packaging of all kinds of products, especially in the food industry. China's food packaging accounts for more than 60 percent of the total plastic package sales, according to figures released by the China plastics processing industry association. But between 2010 and 2013, China's food industry showed a downward trend. "The food industry is expected to grow below 10 per cent this year, below the growth of plastic and soft packaging, and there will be serious overcapacity in the plastic soft-packaging industry," analysts said.
The rapid development of industry has led to overcapacity
According to the data, the proportion of plastic soft packaging in the packaging industry is more than 30% in the present market, making it a major force in the packaging industry. In 2013, our country's plastic flexible packaging market scale has reached 30 billion yuan, but with the United States about $25.5 billion (156.57 billion yuan) flexible packaging market, and global about $60 billion (368.4 billion yuan) compared to the flexible packaging market, China's plastic soft packing scale there is still a big rise space.
"Plastic flexible packaging is mainly used in the food industry, food consumption has now has had the transformation, to high-end food consumption, reduce the total, and still keep high speed development, the plastic flexible packaging production overcapacity will be more obvious." Industry insiders say.
It is generally believed that the food industry growth is affected by the macro economic downturn, the second is the "twelfth five-year" period, national regulation of food industry, slowing the speed of the development of food industry.
According to the development of large enterprises in the industry, the profit rate of plastic soft packing is still available. "Because of the gradual formation of the market competition mechanism, small and backward enterprises have basically pulled out of the market," said a researcher at the China research and development institute. Many enterprises have adjusted the structure of their products, and the production pace is speeding up.
The existing large plastic packaging industry in our country more than 8000, including more than 2240 film manufacturing enterprises, production in 65 enterprises of more than 5000 tons, 10000 tons of enterprises have 25, more than 50000 tons of enterprises have five; Silk and rope production enterprise 4300, foam plastic factory more than 500, packing and packing container 679. Compared with other light industries, the plastic packaging industry has a higher profit level than other light industries, and the above enterprises have basically achieved annual profit of more than 100 million yuan.
Food packaging moves towards market diversification
Dosage of plastics industry in the world, is the "largest packaging plastic, generally account for 25% of the plastic total amount to 70%, in the plastics industry the most developed the United States, Japan and Germany, for example, packing plastic plastic accounted for 27.2%, 32.8% and 27.2% of total consumption, and the plastic packaging plastic consumption share just about 25%.
In 2013, the total output value of plastic packaging industry in China was 555.5 billion yuan, accounting for 37.9 percent of the total output value of the packaging industry, but the technical level was general, analysts said. Plastic packaging technology level relative to foreign speaking of our country is relatively backward, the 2013, there are 30% to 50% of the food damage during storage and transportation, and the developed countries and regions such as Europe and the United States at present is only 1% to 2% of the damage rate.
While China is still developing safe, professional and lightweight packaging materials, the foreign countries are already using the more perfect composite materials, high barrier, anti-static and other packaging technologies. Our enterprises should develop new products that meet the market demand while developing and developing.
After a long period of struggle and globally oriented and opening up, China's plastics industry category has formed a relatively complete industrial system, become the basis of keep pace with the steel, cement, wood material industry, as a new type of material, its use area has been far beyond the above three kinds of materials. While maintaining the rapid development speed, the economic benefit also has the new enhancement. The total value of enterprises in the plastic products industry ranks third in the 19 major industries of light industry, and the sales rate of products is 97.8 percent, higher than the average level of the light industry. From the production of synthetic resin, plastic machinery and plastic products, it shows the strong development momentum of Chinese plastics industry.
Industry experts believe that the development of circular economy and economical society and consumers increasingly strengthen safety awareness, the influence of packaging standards and regulations will be more strict, additives used will be more clear. "The multi-functional composite membrane has been further refined in foreign countries, which is urgently needed to catch up in China." Functional specialization refers to the selection of different packaging materials, such as tensile, tear, high temperature, corrosion and impact resistance, depending on the difference of the package and storage conditions. At the beginning of the transformation of the food industry, the plastic soft packaging industry has been aggressive and seeking diversified development, which is the inevitable trend of sustainable development
