With the rapid growth of China's economy and consumption in recent years, as an important component of China's Packaging industry, Metal Packaging has been widely used in the food, beverage, daily chemical, and household products industries because of its good sealing properties and colorful patterns. In particular, the food and beverage industry has become the largest market for metal packaging, and the chemicals, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals industries have become important markets for metal packaging.
As consumers' living standards increase, the demand for food and beverage packaging will increase rapidly. In particular, the rapid increase in functional beverages and food cans provides more opportunities for metal packaging cans. At present, the world’s most recognized metal packaging containers are the safest and most environmentally friendly products and have great potential for future development.
China's metal packaging industry has now formed a complete metal packaging industry system that includes iron coating, can making, lid making, and barrel making. In recent years, China's metal packaging industry has entered a period of rapid development.
In the recent 10 years, the annual growth rate of the beverage industry in China has been maintained at more than 20%. In 2011, the total output of beverages in China was 118 million tons. The total amount of canned food in China was 9.72 million tons, and the sales amount was 120.2 billion yuan. This included metal packaging, hard and soft packaging and other packaging products. With the increase in national spending power and the escalation of consumption habits, rapidly growing high-end beverage products use metal packaging in large quantities.
According to the prediction of experts, the metal packaging industry in China will have huge development space in the next 3-5 years, and the breakthrough in the production value of 100 billion will be a foregone conclusion. The continuous growth of food and fast-moving consumer goods, especially the rapid growth of beverages as consumer goods, the increasing rate of beer canning, the strong demand for two-piece cans in the rural market, the gradual increase in the scale of metal packaging machinery and equipment, management and production capacity Therefore, China's metal packaging industry will have a great deal.
At present, China has developed into the world's second largest manufacturer of metal packaging, and a large number of large-scale metal packaging industry groups have emerged continuously. These enterprises have established communication and cooperation with the canned food industry to achieve common development.
After decades of development, technological innovations in the key sectors of China's metal packaging industry, which have developed around canned foods, have yielded significant results. They include manufacturing equipment, raw material screening, safety index management, control of the transfer of toxic and hazardous substances, effective detection of heavy metals, and extension of products. The uniqueness of metal packaging is gradually shown in the shelf life, and it plays an increasingly wider role in ensuring food safety.
With the rapid development of the metal packaging industry, the demand for steel for metal packaging has been driven and higher requirements have been put forward. The rapid growth of food and fast-moving consumer goods is the first traction for the rapid development of this industry, and the upgrading trend of packaging products directly enhances the share of metal packaging products in various types of packaging products. In the future, metal packaging will pay more attention to food safety protection and pay more attention to thinning. Reduced, pay more attention to recycling.
Faced with the huge demand of the food industry in China, the metal packaging industry has the responsibility to continuously develop packaging products with better quality, lower price, and better recycling and recycling. Only in this way, China's metal packaging industry can continue to meet the broader needs of the food industry, and contribute to the early completion of the magnificent industrial blueprint of the food industry power, packaging industry power.
