The comprehensive upgrading of packaging machinery is the overall trend of industry development

In 2008, China's packaging machinery industry was still in a good growth state: production and sales continued to rise, profits grew rapidly, and exports increased, making it a prominent 'bright spot' industry in the machinery industry. In 2008, the main business revenue of the packaging machinery industry was 13.18 billion yuan, an increase of 10.9% compared to 2007; Among them, the main revenue growth rate of the large packaging machinery industry was 24.39%, a decrease of 7.31 percentage points from 31.70% in the same period of 2007, making it one of the industries with the fastest profit growth rate in the machinery industry.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China 60 years ago, the people's living standards and income have undergone tremendous changes. Therefore, packaging machinery is widely used in food, medicine, chemical industry and other industries.

From the perspective of food and other light industrial products alone, they account for more than one-third of China's total export value and require an improvement in packaging quality. This has brought many opportunities for the development of packaging machinery. Food packaging requires a wide variety of packaging machinery, and with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, their consumption patterns have shifted from subsistence to enjoyment. Therefore, the packaging machinery industry is a sunrise industry.

The comprehensive upgrading of packaging machinery and equipment is the overall trend of the development of packaging machinery in China and even the world. The main characteristics of upgrading are: a large number of modern high-precision technologies, electronic technologies, microelectronics technologies, edge technologies, and fuzzy technologies from both civilian and military industries are transplanted and adopted, accelerating the further improvement of automation levels such as reliability, safety, and unmanned operation of packaging machinery and production lines. Intelligence will enter the entire field of packaging machinery and production lines.

Many countries' packaging machinery and equipment, production line manufacturing groups, and multinational corporations are investing huge amounts of money and organizing professional personnel for development and research, striving to accelerate the process of mechatronics integration of packaging machinery and equipment. The development of packaging machinery involves multiple industries, and Chinese packaging machinery enterprises should mobilize various forces to tackle more technical issues, so that China's packaging machinery equipment can move towards the forefront of the world.
