2023 Packaging Market Status and Prospect Trends Analysis

The packaging industry is a service-oriented manufacturing sector closely related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and it holds a pivotal position in national economic development. In 2022, China had 9,860 packaging enterprises above the designated size, an increase of 1,029 enterprises over the previous year. Packaging enterprises above the designated size nationwide recorded cumulative operating revenue of 1,229.334 billion yuan, a year-on-year change of -0.70%, a growth rate 15.69 percentage points lower than the same period of the previous year.

The China Packaging Industry Development Plan (2021-2025) explicitly proposes that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, through implementing the "Sustainable Packaging Strategy," China will achieve significantly enhanced safety and controllability, optimization of the overall industrial structure, a substantial improvement in independent innovation capacity, wide application of advanced manufacturing models, accelerated building of a green development system, and effective formation of global competitive advantages, with the packaging industry as a whole entering the mid-to-high end of the global industrial chain and value chain, China joining the ranks of the world's leading packaging powers, and continuously providing new momentum for building a modern socialist country in all respects.

The packaging industry has considerable potential for pollution reduction and carbon reduction. Relevant data show that China's annual consumption of packaging materials is about 30 million tonnes, and packaging waste accounts for 30%-40% of the volume of municipal solid waste generated. Therefore, downstream consumer goods companies should work with upstream packaging manufacturers to explore green packaging solutions, strive to build a full-life-cycle green development system for packaging covering materials, design, and many other links, and drive the high-quality development of the packaging industry.

2023-2028 In-Depth Market Analysis and Development Strategy Research Report for the Packaging Industry

The packaging industry is a trillion-yuan market, in which the largest segment, paper packaging, has a market size of nearly 330 billion yuan. The potential market size of high-end packaging in fields such as consumer electronics, tobacco, alcohol, cosmetics, and food/pharmaceuticals in China is estimated to have reached 100 billion yuan.

China's packaging industry has gone through a stage of rapid development and has now established a considerable production scale, becoming an important part of China's manufacturing sector. Although China's packaging industry enjoys a good overall development trend and China has become the world's second-largest packaging country after the United States, per capita packaging consumption still lags considerably behind that of major countries and regions around the world, and each segment of the packaging industry will still have broad room for market development in the future. According to the China Packaging Industry Development Plan (2021-2025) issued by the China Packaging Federation, during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China's packaging industry must achieve the goal of comprehensive upgrading in modernization, digitalization, safety, quality, and green development, and drive China's packaging industry from traditional manufacturing to advanced manufacturing.

In recent years, the state has set the goals of carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060 and issued the Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Fully, Accurately and Comprehensively Implementing the New Development Philosophy and Doing a Good Job in Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality, the Notice of the State Council on Issuing the Action Plan for Carbon Dioxide Peaking Before 2030, the Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Establishment and Improvement of a Green, Low-Carbon and Circular Development Economic System, the 14th Five-Year Plan for Circular Economy Development, and the 14th Five-Year Plan National Cleaner Production Promotion Plan, among others. The issuance of these policies and regulations has set higher requirements and brought greater challenges for the green transformation of the packaging industry. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the growth rate of the packaging industry will be slightly higher than the average growth rate of the national economy. By the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan period, annual output value will exceed 3 trillion yuan, accounting for about 2.5% of China's GDP.

As the largest packaging consumer market and producer of packaging products in the future, China will see its packaging industry grow more than 2.5% above the global average, with broad room for development. The packaging industry is still in a stage of rapid development. As more and more packaging materials are discovered and used, China's packaging materials have become more diverse. China's packaging industry will meet the needs of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and build a new-type Chinese packaging industry featuring high technological content, good economic benefits, low resource consumption, little environmental pollution, and fully tapped talent advantages. The arrival of the 5G era will further drive the development of the smart packaging industry.

Combining 5G with smart packaging, and based on the Internet of Things that connects all things, sensing devices and communication devices such as radio frequency identification, infrared sensing, and global positioning are used to connect commodity packaging and even all things to the network and to carry out information exchange and communication connections, thereby achieving real-time intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, and monitoring.

According to relevant data, the value of the global packaging market is expected to grow from USD 917 billion in 2019 to USD 1.05 trillion by 2024.

China has become the world's largest packaging printing consumer market and producer of packaging products.

"Green, low-carbon, and environmentally friendly" is an important goal for the future development of the packaging industry. As green packaging policies such as the "plastic restriction order" gradually tighten, the cost of using plastic and glass packaging is rising, and related industries urgently need more environmentally friendly packaging materials to replace the role played by plastic and glass packaging.

The packaging industry report provides detailed and prudent predictive argumentation on the development trends of China's reagent industry. The report is rich in data and charts, offering both in-depth analysis and intuitive comparison, so that reagent enterprises can gain insight into opportunities amid fierce market competition and adjust their business strategies accurately and promptly in response to their own circumstances.
