Analysis: Problems in the Development of Packaging Machinery Industry in China

Analysis: The question of the development of the packaging machine industry in China

With the progress of society and the rapid development of science and technology, the development of the packaging machine industry in China in recent years is very significant, but there is still a big gap with foreign products. China's packaging machine industry started relatively late, compared to other developed countries to be more than 20 years late. In China's packaging machine market there are also many kinds of packaging machines, but most of them are similar, lack of innovation, lack of advanced technology, and have already applied advanced technology to packaging machines abroad, such as remote control Technology (including monitoring), stepper motor technology, automatic flexibility compensation technology, laser cutting technology, information processing technology, etc. In addition, the majority of domestic production is based on stand-alone production. There are only a few sets of production equipment. Most of them are complete sets of equipment in foreign countries and rarely sell stand-alone products. Poor product reliability, slow technology update, less use of new processes, new materials, and lower packaging technology for production, make it difficult to meet the needs of today's market. And many companies are doing low-level repetitive production, which not only seriously hinders the development of the packaging machine industry, but also affects the upgrading of equipment and technology in the packaging industry.
The low level of repetition in the packaging industry in China refers to the repeated production of mechanical products that are low in cost, relatively backward in process, and easy to manufacture, regardless of industry development requirements. At present, the domestic packaging machinery market is flooded with mechanical products that are low in cost, relatively backward in process, and easy to manufacture. If such a market environment cannot be improved in the long term, it will not be conducive to upgrading the entire industry. Statistics show that there are currently about one-quarter of companies in the industry currently experiencing low-level repetitive production, and about 1,000 companies are repeating production at low levels. China's packaging machine industry also has a large scale, and the technology and production equipment are relatively advanced. However, most of the advanced technologies are introduced through foreign countries, and rarely have their own proprietary technology.
China's packaging machinery industry also lacks awareness of intellectual property rights and has not applied for patent protection to new products and technologies it has developed. It is often a product of a company that has just been developed and put on the market soon. Other companies quickly imitated it. In the short period of time, the same equipment product had thousands of companies put on the market at the same time. Even if developers or developers of the equipment product want to pursue the responsibilities of other imitation manufacturers, it would be too late to apply for intellectual property protection. China's packaging machine product replacement rate is too slow, completely out of pace with low-level repetitive production. Many companies are busy expanding their markets with existing products and are busy copying and copying other people's equipment products. They simply do not consider how mechanical products are upgraded and how they can achieve technological innovation.
China's packaging machine industry needs to combine with market conditions and production needs to keep pace with the times and should take the path of innovation and technology research and development.
