Decrease in automation of export of packaging machinery has become a top priority

According to the data analysis conducted by the CDIC Consultant Machinery Industry Research Department, China's food packaging machinery exports reached 1.582 billion U.S. dollars in 2008, an increase of 52.23% over the previous year, of which exports of food machinery totaled 633 million U.S. dollars, accounting for total exports of food and packaging machinery. 45.19%, an increase of 60% from the previous year; total export value of packaging machinery was 758 million US dollars, accounting for 55.89% of the total export of food and packaging machinery, an increase of 54.83% over the previous year. In addition, the export of food and packaging machinery in the first 11 months of 2008 was 1.509 billion. The U.S. dollar increased by 41.44% over the same period last year.

In 2007, China's total exports of food and packaging machinery was 1.294 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 57.14% over the previous year, of which total exports of food machinery were 533 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 41.19% of the total exports of food and packaging machinery, an increase of 64% over the previous year; Packaging machinery exports totaled US$762 million, accounting for 58.89% of the total exports of food and packaging machinery, an increase of 55.83% over the previous year.

Duan Jiaxuan, an analyst at CIC Advisors Machinery Group, believes that in the global financial crisis in 2008, China’s foreign trade situation was extremely severe, and the export of food packaging machinery industry was no exception. Although the export of the industry in 2008 was still growing, but Compared with 2007, the rate of increase has been significantly slowed down. The data show that in August 2008, the growth rate of China's food and packaging machinery exports fell sharply from the increase in July 33. Switched to cnwinenews.com 36%.

In 2009, the export situation of the food packaging machinery industry is still not optimistic. According to the data, from January to February 2009, the total value of export delivery of the machinery industry was 145.355 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 19.26%, and the growth rate was down 40.18 year-on-year. The percentage growth rate dropped rapidly. At the same time, the export delivery value accounted for 12.64% of the sales value, which was a year-on-year decrease of 3.68 percentage points. Looking at the industry, the export delivery values ​​of the seven industries, including the food packaging machinery industry, were the same Declined to varying degrees.

Duan Jiaxuan believes that China's food packaging machinery industry is relatively late to start, the foundation is relatively weak, and the strength of technology and scientific research is insufficient. While electromechanical integration has become the mainstream trend of the industry, China's food packaging machinery industry has less than 10 devices equipped with controllers. %, severely restricted the development of the industry, especially the expansion of foreign markets.

He also said that the financial crisis is, to a certain extent, a good news for China's food packaging machinery industry.

In the economic downturn, foreign food industry companies have adopted cheaper Chinese equipment to replace expensive equipment of developed countries in order to save costs. Then, with the recovery of the global economy in the future, the level of automation of China's food packaging machinery is not high. Will be revealed no doubt. Therefore, to improve the degree of automation of the product has become China's food packaging machinery industry's top priority.
