China is a vast country with a huge population, and food plays a fundamental role in people's lives. As such, the food industry holds a crucial position in the national economy. With China's economic transition from subsistence to prosperity, the food industry is expected to experience significant growth. Wooden box packaging machinery plays a vital role in improving the efficiency of wooden box packing. In countries like the United States, Japan, and Europe, the packaging rates for food and wooden boxes are as high as 90%, 80%, and 70% respectively, while in China, this rate is only about 5%. This highlights the immense potential for development in the wooden box packaging machinery sector.
As living standards continue to rise, consumer demands for the packaging of wooden goods have become more stringent. Wherever there are goods, there is a need for wooden box packaging. It can be said that the wooden box packaging industry plays a key role in shaping the overall economic structure. The evolving nature of wooden box packaging corresponds to a wide range of packaging machines available in the market. With changing consumption patterns, people are shifting from basic needs to more lifestyle-oriented preferences. Therefore, the wooden box packaging machinery industry is considered a sunrise industry with great future prospects.
Since the late 1970s and early 1980s, China’s wooden box packaging machinery industry has developed rapidly, and its growth accelerated significantly in the 1990s. Currently, there are over 2,000 enterprises involved in this sector, employing more than 550,000 workers. Additionally, there are over 130 research institutes and universities dedicated to this field, with more than 1,300 types of products available. In 2004, the sales revenue of the food and carton packaging machinery industry reached 55.816 billion yuan, representing a 21.34% increase compared to the previous year's 46 billion yuan. Meanwhile, the number of employees grew by just 2.27%, and the product sales rate was 98.23%, showing strong performance.
The total output value of wooden box packaging machinery was approximately 20 billion yuan. In terms of imports, the value reached 1.9434 billion U.S. dollars in 2004, up 11.99% from the previous year's 1.74 billion U.S. dollars. On the export side, wooden box packaging machinery exports amounted to 278.454 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 39.92% compared to the previous year's 199 million U.S. dollars. Notably, during January–September 2004, when the machinery trade deficit continued to widen, the food and wooden packaging machinery sector achieved a surplus of 530 million U.S. dollars.
In 2005, the output value of the food processing and wooden box packaging industries is expected to reach 44 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 10%. The domestic market demand is projected to reach 85 billion yuan in 2005. Given that import values are not expected to grow significantly, the share of domestic equipment in the market is likely to increase. By 2010, it is predicted that the total sales of the domestic industry could reach 1,300 billion yuan, with market demand reaching 200 billion yuan. In recent years, China has imported nearly 2 billion U.S. dollars worth of wooden box packaging machinery annually, making it the second-largest importer of such machinery in the world.
Looking ahead, the development trends of the wooden box packaging industry include: (1) Improving the operating speed and quality of wooden box packaging machinery, reducing waste and wear, meeting the needs of bulk packaging, lowering operational costs, and adapting to seasonal and timely requirements. (2) Enhancing the level of serialization, standardization, and generalization of packaging machinery products, and accelerating equipment upgrades. Establishing a modular or integrated structural system for modern wooden box packaging machinery is a key direction for future development. (3) Promoting the widespread application of high technology in packaging machinery. (4) Advanced manufacturing technologies are increasingly valued by manufacturers. These technologies include management systems, design techniques, materials processing methods, and supporting technologies.
