China's packaging equipment started relatively late and had not yet formed an industrial system in 1980. After the reform and opening up, the demand for packaging machines in society continued to increase. With the government's attention and support, China's packaging machinery developed rapidly, with an average annual growth rate of more than 30%.
After entering the 1990s, it still grew at a rate of over 20%. After more than 20 years of development, China's packaging machinery has become one of the top ten industries in the mechanical industry.
In recent years, the transformation of packaging machinery towards high-end has shown its strong development momentum, and the automation and intelligence of equipment have significantly improved. With the vigorous development of packaging market demand, the packaging machinery industry in China has also ushered in a good period of development, driven by factors such as the enhancement of technical level and the gradual emergence of Import substitution industrialization effect.
However, domestic packaging machinery production enterprises will also face the test of industry transformation and upgrading. Industry insiders point out that the technological content of packaging products is reflected in the processing technology and technical equipment. Technology is the core means, and equipment is the key to research and development, verification, and manufacturing. Packaging machinery plays a dominant role in packaging technology.
Although China has accelerated technological innovation and research and development, it has narrowed the gap with the advanced level of the industry. However, foreign research and development achievements are emerging one after another, and research and development trends are becoming increasingly diverse. If the domestic industry cannot achieve breakthrough and innovation, it will never be possible to achieve the anti surpassing effect of domestic packaging machinery on imported equipment.
At present, the competitiveness of domestic mechanical products mainly comes from two aspects: price and delivery time. Price is a relatively simple way for all products to compete, but it will not always be effective. For the purchaser, price is an important consideration, but not the only factor, especially for large enterprises that have their own cost calculation system.
In addition, user experience has become a popular term that can be seen everywhere in recent years, and it is also another important factor in the differences between domestic and foreign machinery. In the field of mechanical equipment, foreign manufacturers not only endorse their country's industrial foundation, but also spare no effort in creating user experience.
The second aspect is the stability of the brand, which has withstood the tests of time and the times in terms of quality, service, and other aspects. Manufacturers that do not meet customer interests have been eliminated. It can be said that time is an insurmountable competitive advantage.
Industry insiders analyze that in the future, the development of China's packaging machinery market will show the following trends: firstly, the technological content of packaging machinery is increasing day by day; Secondly, the packaging machinery market is becoming increasingly monopolistic; Thirdly, specialization in the production of packaging machinery components.
In addition, industry insiders have also put forward relevant suggestions for the development of enterprises. The first is digitization and standardization. Try to digitize the R&D and manufacturing process, on the one hand, it is conducive to the growth of machinery manufacturers, and accumulate experience, and use Big data to assist R&D.
On the other hand, by increasing profits and using limited funds on the cutting edge, it is possible to gradually cultivate one's core competitiveness. Only by digitizing and standardizing can we improve our capabilities, provide customers with factory wide solutions, and enhance our overall competitiveness.
Secondly, there is continuous and systematic improvement. One is to establish higher standards and compare them with the current problems of enterprises under high standards, and move towards this standard. The second is the improvement of user experience.
Then there is the separation of the core program and the application program. On the one hand, to avoid homogenization and establish one's own research and development system, on the other hand, functional updates can be carried out at any time. Only through continuous development and updates can there be a broader world.
Finally, there is research and development investment and market research on materials, processes, machinery, etc. After enjoying the market dividends brought by foreign brands, the packaging machinery industry must try to increase research and development to catch up.
