The growth of the corrugated box printing equipment industry is inextricably linked with the development of the packaging industry. Since the implementation of reform and opening up in China in 1978, the total output value of the packaging industry has continued to grow at an annual rate of more than 18%. In 42 major industries of China's national economy, the packaging industry has moved from the 41st position in the early 1980s to the first. 14-bit, environmental protection bag. In 2008, the total output value of the packaging industry in the country (except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions) reached 860 billion yuan, becoming the second largest packaging country in the world after the United States. It is estimated that the total output value of China's packaging industry may exceed 1,200 billion in 2010. Yuan Renminbi has become the largest packaging power in the world. In the huge gross output value of the packaging industry, paper packaging products accounted for about 37.13% of the entire packaging industry. Corrugated paper box as the main product of paper packaging will inevitably develop rapidly with the development of the packaging industry, thus pulling the rapid growth of the corrugated box printing equipment industry.

Corrugated box printing equipment is part of the production of corrugated boxes and has a strong correlation with corrugated boxes.

Corrugated box printing equipment is an important part of the corrugated box manufacturing process, its overall market development speed, development space and opportunities, corrugated cardboard production line and corrugated board market scale of the previous process of corrugated box manufacturing process, corrugated paper box market of the latter process Capacity is closely related.

First, corrugated board production line and corrugated board market size Chinese corrugated board production line appeared in the mid-1980s, from the original single corrugated cardboard box to single-sided machine development, and then from ordinary corrugated board production line to wide, high speed, high efficiency, low consumption , multi-function, precision processing, automatic high-grade production line development. Nowadays, domestic corrugated paperboard machinery has entered the production line in an all-round way. Single and single-sided machines for processing corrugated paperboard are basically eliminated. Corrugated paperboard production is basically provided by the production line to the society. China's corrugated board production line mainly domestic-based, which imported tile lines accounted for 8%, Taiwan imported tile lines accounted for 15%, mainland producing tile lines accounted for 77% of the [Chinese food - packaging machinery Author: Jinling "Our corrugated box industry Develop a fast-growing market"]. In response to the low capacity of corrugated board production lines, the China Packaging Federation and major media have called for the elimination of backward production capacity more than once and encouraged companies to develop more high-end production lines when investing in new equipment. In this context, the domestic corrugated board production line has shown a trend of rapid development. In 2004, there were about 3,000 in the country and nearly 6,000 in 2010.

Corrugated board production and the development of corrugated board production lines complement each other. The continuous expansion of corrugated board production lines in China also directly drives the high-speed development of corrugated board production. In 1995, China's corrugated board production volume was 7.4 billion square meters. By 2009, China's corrugated paperboard production volume reached 36.7 billion square meters, accounting for 19.3% of the world's total production, accounting for 30% of Asia's production, and 14 years of production growth. Five times.

Corrugated cartons manufacturing process before the process - corrugated board production line and the rapid expansion of the market size of corrugated board, will inevitably have a great impact on the production of subsequent corrugated box printing equipment.

Second, the corrugated paper box market size The rapid development of China corrugated box industry also comes from the reform and opening up. In 1978, domestic industries began to recover, and the corrugated box industry began to develop. With the rapid development of the domestic economy, the demand for commodity packaging has gradually increased and demand has driven development. Corrugated cartons have continuously increased capital investment to transform backward production equipment, and the quality of corrugated cartons has continued to increase. In 1986, the national standard for corrugated boxes (GB/T 6548-199) was issued. This standard not only plays an important role in planning the production of corrugated boxes and guaranteeing the quality of corrugated boxes, but also greatly promotes the large-scale production of corrugated boxes. In 2008, the output value of China's paper packaging industry was 300 billion yuan, an increase of 12% over 2007. Among them, the growth rate of corrugated box industry was as high as 16%, and the sales volume reached 22 billion square meters [Data source: "The current situation of China Reflections on the development of corrugated box industry." In 2009, China's packaging industry continued to develop at a rapid rate, with total industrial output value of 354 billion yuan, an increase of about 18% from the same period of 2008. According to the prediction of the China Packaging Federation Paper Product Packaging Committee, the corrugated paper box industry will surely have a better development in 2010. If we can maintain the pace of development in 2009, the total output value of China's corrugated box industry will surpass the United States in 2010 and leap to the top in the world. One.

The overall prosperity of the corrugated box industry is bound to have an impact on the production of corrugated box printing equipment. It is predicted that the market size of corrugated box printing equipment will continue to expand along with the continuous development of corrugated boxes.

III. Market size and forecast of corrugated box printing equipment in China According to the statistical data of Zhongbao Association, combined with the market capacity analysis of corrugated board production line, corrugated board and corrugated box, the market capacity of corrugated box printing equipment is determined, and its future is forecasted. Six years of market size. According to corrugated paperboard industry experience, each corrugated board production line is matched with 4-6 sets of corrugated box printing equipment.

In 2006, the domestic market size of corrugated box printing equipment in China was 2.344 billion yuan. Due to the impact of the global financial crisis, the growth rate of the industry's total output value in 2008 and 2009 was slow, and a strong rebound began in 2010.

As the output of corrugated boxes in China is developing at a high speed, new equipment needs and update requirements are very large. Therefore, it is predicted that in the next few years, the Chinese corrugated box printing equipment market will still maintain a relatively high growth rate:

The proportion of medium-to-high-end corrugated box printing equipment in developed markets in Europe and America accounts for more than 80% of the total demand. With the improvement of China’s economic level, the proportion of medium and high-end corrugated box printing equipment in market demand will also increase.

The industry mainly imports foreign high-end products, and the unit price is relatively high. In the past five years, imports have shown a downward trend, notepad. As domestic manufacturers continue to improve their process technology and continuously improve product quality, domestic products will gradually replace foreign products and the export amount will increase.

Fourth, the domestic corrugated box printing equipment industry competition pattern China's corrugated box printing equipment industry started late, the early 70s of last century, China can only produce a single technology machine with extremely low technical content. At that time, corrugated box printing equipment users - corrugated boxes manufacturing enterprises are mostly township enterprises, mainly located in Fengxian, Shanghai, Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province, Shandong Province, Jiaonan, Liaoning Province, Dandong and other places, the manufacture of corrugated box printing equipment The level requirement is not high. In the early 1980s, China's light industry developed rapidly. Light industrial products, especially export products, placed higher demands on corrugated boxes. Many foreign trade companies and light industry companies started to build factories to produce corrugated cartons. Many corrugated cartons production enterprises began to introduce corrugated cartons printing equipment. The most important production lines imported from Japan began. With the increase in demand, some corrugated box manufacturers also began to Introduce corrugated carton printing complete sets of equipment from Taiwan, China. Beijing, Hebei Province, Hebei Province, Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province and other regions have set off an upsurge in the establishment of corrugated box machinery manufacturing enterprises. Among them, Hengshan Whabu Machinery Factory in Jingshan County of Hubei Province has developed at an exceptionally high speed, becoming the only company in the corrugated box machinery industry in China at the time. Listed company. At the same time, private enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region have also emerged as a vibrant force in the corrugated box printing equipment industry. Dongfang Seiko Co., Ltd., Shanghai Dinglong Machinery Co., Ltd., etc. have successively become important forces in the corrugated box printing equipment industry and rapidly grow into Corrugated box printing equipment leader. After entering the 21st century, many corrugated carton printing equipment companies in Europe and the United States and Taiwan Province of China have landed in Guangdong, Shanghai, and Jiangsu. Individual stickers have further promoted the development of the corrugated box printing equipment industry in China, and also promoted the use of ethnic corrugated paper. Box printing equipment manufacturers are advancing toward higher goals. At present, China's corrugated box printing equipment industry has formed a six major production base (the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta, Lake Beijing, Hebei Dongguang, Jiaodong, Central Plains)-based competition.

V. Overview of major companies in the industry With the development of the corrugated box industry, China's corrugated box printing equipment industry has undergone earth-shaking changes in just over 20 years, forming a basic industrial structure through in-depth research and development of products. Constantly innovating and forming high-tech enterprises and production bases with high technological content have basically adapted to the development of the corrugated paper box industry in China. The domestic corrugated carton printing equipment manufacturing enterprises, represented by Dongfang Precision and Shanghai Dinglong, are focusing on the research, development and production of high-end corrugated box printing equipment. Their product quality is ahead of their counterparts in the domestic market, and they are in sync with the international level. In addition, there are companies in the country with a certain strength and R & D capabilities, such as Guangzhou Keshenglong, Panyu Caiyi and Lake Beijing Hill light aircraft. In the form of higher printing quality required for domestic corrugated box printing equipment, the advantages of the company's products show a clear competitive advantage. Their prices are lower than Taiwan's equipment and imported equipment, which has a clear price advantage over Taiwan and imported equipment. The high quality, moderate price, and accurate grasp of market demand have made their market leading position. Sold abroad, has been recognized by the international market.
