Import is our gap, and the gap is our market

In the past 20 years, China's food and packaging machinery developed rapidly. However, after all, the entire industry started late. There are still many gaps in high-level equipment. Therefore, the import volume is still quite large. The import amount was between 20 and 20 years from 1996 to 1998. Above 100 million U.S. dollars, although equipment imports have decreased in the past three years, the total amount has also been between 1.4 billion U.S. dollars and 1.6 billion U.S. dollars.
In addition, in 2001 imported packaging machinery and accessories were US$956.4 million, food machinery and accessories were US$529 million, totaling US$1.48 billion. In recent years, imported equipment is basically equipment that cannot be manufactured domestically or whose technology level and production efficiency are still far from abroad. Import is our gap, and the gap is our market. This nearly $1.5 billion market is waiting for domestic companies to recapture the competition.
According to data provided by the Japan Food and Packaging Machinery Association, in 2000, the output value of the Japanese food industry was 470 billion U.S. dollars and the output value of food machinery was 4.9 billion U.S. dollars. In the same year, the output value of China's food industry was only 790 billion yuan, and the output value of food machinery was only 16.5 billion yuan. The ratio between the food industry and the agricultural output value is 0.39:1, which means that China's daily food is still mainly based on raw grains or primary processed raw grains. The proportion of industrialized food is very low, and the amount of tobacco industry, sugar, tea and feed still accounts for the value of the food industry. A large proportion of the meat processing industry has increased in recent years, but only 8.1%. The industrialized production of staple foods for three meals a day will be a problem to be solved for a long period of time. It is also a huge market.
The main problem of grain processing is low resource utilization, the average utilization rate is less than 70%, and the equipment and processes for food processing need to be greatly improved to adapt to the requirements of the new era. The comprehensive utilization of by-products from food processing is an important way to increase the utilization of food resources. This is a huge renewable resource for China. In developed countries such as the United States and Japan, the full use of food resources makes the value of the comprehensive utilization of by-products more than 3-5 times the value of rice, wheat, and corn. For example, the comprehensive utilization of rice bran can produce dozens of edible and industrial products. Increase the added value of rice bran by 60 times. Comprehensive utilization can increase the value of wheat bran by 5 times, rice shell by 3 times, and broken rice by 10 times. The level of comprehensive utilization of grain by-products in China is still very low, and there are similar situations in fruit processing. On the one hand, peels are treated as wastes, and on the other hand, pectin, an expensive peel extract, is imported.
Another great project is the three meals a day for the Chinese people. We must not only partially preserve the Chinese people's dietary habits and dietary structure, but also allow the people to liberate themselves from the heavy domestic chores, allow the main and non-staple foods to be produced in a centralized manner, and become industrialized. This can increase the utilization of food and vegetables and save energy. , Liberating a large number of labor force, if the city can make the supply of finished products for three meals a day reach 60%, it will increase tens of millions of jobs, increase the output value of nearly one trillion yuan, and reduce energy consumption, and reduce urban and rural areas. The social benefits of the round-trip transportation are obvious. This alone will increase the market for food and packaging machinery by more than 30 billion yuan.
It is self-evident that brand name can bring direct economic benefits. As a new industry, the food and packaging machinery industry is not enough to form a deeply rooted brand within 20 years, but only those who consistently adhere to "quality first Only companies that have the foundation for creating brand names can continue to innovate in the competition and continue to explore new high-tech applications and cutting-edge technologies before they can finally become recognized as “well-known companies” and their products can truly become “ Brand-name products." Thankfully, such as beer filling production lines, corrugated board production lines, instant noodle production lines, cup filling machines, wide laminating machines, more than 200 liters of vat blow molding machines, BOPP blowing machines, chocolate equipment, In areas such as quality machine, although there are a lot of companies nowadays, the high-profile and high-sales sales have shown a clear concentration trend, and well-known enterprises and brand-name products are gradually forming.
In 2001, China's total output value of food and packaging machinery was 35.3 billion yuan, exports were 224 million US dollars, domestic sales was 33.4 billion yuan, imports of food and packaging machinery were 1.4 billion US dollars, and the total demand in the domestic market was 46 billion yuan in the next four years (including In 2002, the demand is expected to increase by 20 billion yuan, that is, the total demand in the domestic market in 2005 should be around 65 billion yuan, considering that the import part should be around 2 billion US dollars, and the sales of domestic food and packaging machinery should be 49 billion yuan. With the export part (estimated at 3-4 billion U.S. dollars), the total output value of domestic food and packaging machinery should be equivalent to 54 billion yuan, which means that the annual growth rate of more than 12% will be able to meet market demand. Therefore, China Foods The packaging machinery industry holds great promise.
