I. Review of 20 years of reform and opening up Since reform and opening up 20 years ago, under the guidance of Deng Xiaoping in building socialism with Chinese characteristics and the basic line of the party. Compared with 30 years ago, our country has undergone tremendous changes. In order to change the backwardness of China's Packaging industry, China Packaging Technology Association was established in December 1980 with the approval of the State Council. This is China's first pilot association. Four months later, in April 1981, the China Baoxie Metal Containers Committee was established. . In the past 20 years of reform and opening up, under the leadership of the China Association for Packaging Services and with the support of relevant departments and member units, China's packaging industry has achieved significant development in the metal container packaging industry. It has now become a set of printed iron cans, barrels, and sealed cans. All kinds of caps as one of the Metal Packaging system.
The metal container packaging industry is one of the important categories of the national packaging industry. In the past 20 years, the Metal Container Committee has undergone turbulence, from small to large, from weak to strong, and has developed rapidly. Its high-grade packaging products are popular among consumers, especially during the “Eighth Five-Year Plan” period. In recent years, the situation of oversupply in the market caused by blindly launching has entered a low point. We believe that as soon as the new century arrives and China faces the WTO entry, as long as it seizes the opportunity, it will come out of the trough. From the perspective of the entire industry, this year is better than last year, and it is enough to prove that the "rising sun will soon rise."
In the 79 years 20 years ago, metal containers did not have its own industry organization. At that time, there were only 200 large and small metal container companies in the country, and by the early 1990s it had increased to more than 700. Especially during the “85th Five-Year Plan” period (91-95), which was the peak period for the development of metal containers, it reached 1,000 at the end of 1995 and reached 1,300 by the end of 1998. The number of enterprises in the 20 years has increased by 5.5 times, of which the printing and canning industry has topped the list. The main reasons for the rapid development are as follows: First, with the development of related industries such as food, canned foods, beverages, oils, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, culture and education supplies, and cosmetics, the demand for metal packaging continues to grow; second, foreign investors are targeting China's huge market has swarmed. High starting point, large investment, advanced equipment, exquisite workmanship, talents gathering, and management science; mainly two-piece cans, three-piece cans, and spray cans, occupying a large part of the market share of China's metal container packaging industry; Collective and individual came into being and launched one after another, accelerating the development of the industry.
According to statistics, the total production volume of metal container packaging products has grown from 350,000 tons in 1979 to 1.7 million tons in 1999, and the total industrial output value has increased from 3.7 billion yuan to 18 billion yuan. The two main indicators have increased about 4 times, accounting for the entire country. 10% of the total output value of the packaging industry. In short, 20 years of reform and opening up have yielded brilliant results. Despite the sluggishness in recent years, we believe that the difficulties are temporary.
II. Current situation and development trend 1. Since entering the 1990s, 91-94 years have been the booming period of the industry. After 95 years, due to macro imbalances, a large number of foreign-funded enterprises have entered and township and town enterprises blindly launched the market to supply more than demand. In particular, in recent years, some companies have stopped production or have stopped production all the time, resulting in an increase in losses. Some companies have used unfair competition to compete against each other and compete unorderly, causing artificial market chaos. This situation will follow the government's efforts to rectify the chaos in the market and strengthen the functions of the trade associations in the future. The disorder in the market will be further improved. The year 99 is better than 98 and will be better in the future.
2. The development of related industries will push the metal packaging industry out of the trough. According to investigations, the food industry is developing the fastest. With the acceleration of people's work pace, in order to get rid of the hardships of going to work, the lifestyle will change, and convenience food will enter the family. In 1997, the annual output value of China's food industry reached more than 530 billion yuan, or 641 US dollars, which is the highest in the nation's light industry. In many food areas, there will always be iron cans for some products.
3. In recent years, the beverage industry has developed rapidly, with a wide variety of products and brand times. In China, the beverage industry started relatively late. In 1982, the annual output of beverages in China was only 440,000 tons, and the average annual per capita was less than 0.43 kg; in 1992, it reached 4.2 million tons. The annual average is 4.4 kilograms; by 1998, the national beverage output has reached 12 million tons, and the annual average per capita is 9.6 kilograms. In other words: 22 times from 1982 to 16 years in 1998, 1.6 times more than in 1992. The main reason for the rapid development is the increase in counterfeiting efforts, the increase in variety, and the improvement in quality, as well as the emphasis on the nutritional value of beverages and the emergence of many brands, all of which have promoted the development of the beverage industry in China. Although plastic bottles, glass bottles, Tetra Pak and other packaging occupy a certain share in this area, two-piece cans and three-piece cans still dominate.
4. China's canned industry started in 1906 when Shanghai Taifeng Food Company was the first food cannery in China. Since then, some canned processing plants have been established in a few cities. In 1949, the country’s canned output was only 484 tons, and China’s canned food was a new industry that had gradually developed since 1953. It has become one of the major varieties of the food industry. In 1953, there were only 20 canneries in the country, and by the end of 1997 it had grown to 1495 canneries, with an annual output of 2.54 million tons. The highest year was 1995, when it reached 3.05 million tons. The export volume reached 860,000 tons. In recent years, the export volume averaged about 700-800,000 tons per year. Its varieties are mushrooms, asparagus, horseshoe, broad beans, oranges, white peaches, luncheon meat, steamed beef, steamed pork, tomato sauce, etc. The annual export volume is more than 10,000 tons, and its export volume ranks first in the world. It is estimated that by the year 2005, the total amount of canned food in China will reach 4.5 million tons, and the export volume will reach 1.2 million tons, and in 2000 it will reach 8 million tons. Among them, metal cans account for an important share, and tin cans are the main cans for export cans. According to relevant information, the canning industry consumes approximately 350,000 tons of Tinplate per year.
5. Beer's national output reached 20 million tons in 1999, becoming the second largest producer of beer in the world. Its packaging is mainly bottled. Among them, about 4% of beer use two cans. If 4% is calculated, 800,000 tons use two cans. The annual demand is about 2.5 billion. It is expected that with the increase in consumption levels in the future, aluminum two-piece cans will have the advantage of long shelf life, convenient carrying and opening, and the market share of metal cans will gradually increase.
6. With the development of the national economy, the artificial labor, petroleum products, pharmaceuticals, culture, education and cosmetics industries are bound to rise. The demand for metal barrels and tanks in these industries will also be doubled. Despite these advantages, there are also some unfavorable factors. After China's accession to the WTO, it will face more fierce competition at home and abroad. The author can see, after joining the WTO, for the packaging industry, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. What are the advantages? We believe that although foreign goods have entered the WTO after entering the WTO, it is uneconomical for all contents to be filled with heavy cans and transported into China, which will inevitably increase transportation costs. This can only be a temporary phenomenon. From a long-term perspective, foreign merchants will gradually set up factories in China. As long as the quality of empty cans meets foreign requirements, they will still use domestic cans. Secondly, due to the reduction of tariffs, the import prices of tinplate, aluminum materials and related auxiliary materials will inevitably decrease, which will benefit the cost reduction of the domestic can industry. The unfavorable factor is that if our product quality fails to meet the requirements, they may still be able to fill in empty containers from abroad to fill in the domestic market. This situation will have, but the amount will not be great. The original domestic joint ventures and state-owned enterprises can be associated with it, but the equipment is simple, and small enterprises with poor product quality are difficult to survive.
Third, the new century development strategy 1, the advent of the new century, from the current situation to see related industries are increasing production, may bring the metal container industry out of the trough. After entering the WTO, competition has become more intense, and the metal container industry must rely on "quality wins." Domestic peers should no longer bargain each other and engage in bonfires everywhere. The enterprises in the same industry should consciously abide by the principle of self-regulation of prices. We are ready to invite leading enterprises in the industry and hold forums to discuss price coordination.
2. In order to meet the challenge of accession to the WTO, domestic companies and foreign companies will compete on the same starting line in the world economic arena. The key depends on the overall strength, the organization of large-scale groups to be competitive, can no longer take the "small and all" "big and complete" approach, should gradually move toward professional production, the development of packaging brand products. Must be high-quality products, reasonable prices, good after-sales service and have the strength of the group before they can compete in the international arena. To this end, we should take the path of cooperation between Shanghai Meilin Zheng Guanghe and Qiang Qiang to be invincible.
3. With regard to the development of the western region, the central government puts forward the strategy of developing the western region and accelerates the development of the western region. It is of great significance for expanding domestic demand and promoting the sustained growth of the national economy. The packaging industry is no exception. With the advancement of many related industries such as the food industry, canned industry, beer industry, and oleochemical industry, the metal packaging industry should have an advanced ideological preparation. In the eastern region, the packaging industry is intensive, and there is less glutinous rice. Experts of insight should advance to the west. The Wahaha Group has expanded its western area for six years. It has taken the first step in the beverage industry and achieved greater development. However, the packaging industry needs to conduct investigations and research. It is necessary to closely follow companies that need metal packaging barrels and tanks, and they can cooperate with them or join joint ventures. The next step is for the Association to join the large enterprise groups with aspirations from the west to conduct research in the western region and seek assistance from the local community. With the help of packaging associations to conduct field visits, there is no guarantee of uncertainty.
4. The introduction of talents is even more important. At present, domestic and foreign talents compete fiercely, science and technology are packaged and education is advanced. While introducing high-quality talents, people with lower quality should be encouraged to cultivate cultural and technical qualities and take short-term education. Train and enter colleges and universities to develop a combination of methods in order to improve the quality of the entire staff. (Author: Zhai Rong metal containers Committee)
