Forecast of development trend of metal packaging industry.

At present, China's demand for metal packaging is very broad and the demand is large, and the steel canning products will be bigger. According to the statistics, China's metal packaging has been developing rapidly. In 2005, 326.42 billion yuan was completed, with a year-on-year growth of 16.39% and the added value of 7 billion yuan, up 24.22% from the previous month. The sales value of sales reached 32.26 billion yuan, up 42.6 percent year on year.

Among them, it has become one of the important categories of packaging industry in China, and has been widely used in food and beverage industry. According to the latest statistics, in 2005, there were 6 billion cans of soft drink cans, 3.5 billion cans of canned food, and 5 billion cans of assorted cans. Analysis of the consumption of metal packaging materials, the proportion of metal packaging products, food and beverage accounted for 44% of the share. From the perspective of China's beer industry, China's beer output reached more than 30 million tons in 2005, ranking first in the world. The beverage industry is developing rapidly, so the demand for metal packaging is increasing.

At present, various beverage cans, such as Coca-Cola, red bull, dew and all kinds of canned packaging, have become increasingly close to consumers. The expert thinks, to user needs as the guidance, carefully study consumers to choose what kind of packing, who will choose to use metal packaging, therefore, metal packaging and consumer relationship is significant. The enterprise should innovate the product continuously, the packaging design should be humanized, to meet the user's various demand for the metal packaging. It is understood that the metal packaging industry in our country after 28 years of reform and opening-up development, has been formed, including printing can, two piece cans, steel barrel, bottle caps, aerosol cans as one of the complete system of metal packaging industry, as one of the important categories of China's packaging industry. The annual sales volume of the metal packaging industry is over 5 million yuan, and there are 555 enterprises with a certain scale, presenting the pattern of state-owned, tertiary and private enterprises. In recent years, the rapid development of private enterprises, some enterprise group has formed a certain scale, but from the point of the whole industry, small and medium-sized enterprises accounted for more than 90%, small and scattered, the situation has not been fundamentally solved conveniently small, industrial intensive integration task is still arduous. Metal packaging enterprise's regional distribution, distribution of more than 70% of the enterprises in the pearl river delta (guangzhou, zhuhai, shenzhen, hainan), Yangtze river delta, jiangsu, zhejiang and Shanghai) and the beijing-tianjin-hebei bohai bay economic zone. In addition, sichuan, fujian and shandong rely on the deep processing advantage of agricultural and sideline products, which drives the development of metal packaging. According to statistical analysis, regional distribution: 40% in south China, 30% in eastern China, 16% in north China and 14% in other regions. This regional distribution structure is mainly determined by the radiation radius of the metal packaging products, the distribution of user clusters and the characteristics of the regional economic structure. Although the development of metal packaging industry in China is fast, the existing problems cannot be ignored. Metal containers of China packaging federation committee secretary general zhang hong thinks, most of the smaller metal packaging enterprises in China, with independent intellectual property rights, with the core competitiveness, and even less influential enterprise groups around the world; Metal packaging variety few, generally is generally serious surplus production capacity, high quality products production capacity, overall level product level has obvious gap with the developed countries; Independent innovation ability is low, main technical equipment and core technology also rely on import or master in foreign company hand; The enterprise informationization level is low, the metal packaging management and the technical personnel are badly deficient. When it comes to the future development of the metal packaging industry, experts agree that the development of metal packaging industry is promising. In order to get the big development of metal packaging in China, it is necessary to have innovation in technology, guarantee the quality, and make great improvement in the management of enterprises. At present, food safety has been widespread concern, such as food packaging now implement the market access system in China, foreign in restricted to export food technical quality, have put forward higher request for our packing, food production enterprise cannot be used in food packaging is not certified licensing of food packaging and other products, otherwise will severely for investigation. Therefore, the metal packaging production enterprises should attach great importance to the problem of safety quality, which requires technological innovation and continuous improvement. The demand of packaging industry in China has higher requirements on the quantity and quality of metal packaging. During the period of "11th five-year plan", China's packaging industry will continue rapid growth, by 2010 China's packaging industry market will be more than $500 billion, according to an average of 9% growth, metal packaging in our country is expected to reach 50 billion yuan, also make the metal packaging has entered a new growth opportunity, metal packaging products rich, the application field is very broad, huge space for development.
