The hottest impact of China's packaging industry o

The Chinese packaging industry is used to the Chinese people who are divided into two parts after China's entry into the WTO, and they like to think about everything over and over. In the face of such a major event as China's accession to the WTO, people from all walks of life are looking left and right, looking up and down. Whether they see the way or not, they all give a final sigh: "well, opportunities and risks coexist." It's nonsense to hear too much. In fact, the benefits of China's entry into the WTO far outweigh the disadvantages

Where does profit come from

the impact of China's entry into WTO on China's packaging 4 It is definitely good news for the industry that the sample is placed behind the experimental machine. The benefits come from many aspects:

first, as a supporting industry, the packaging industry, the products themselves are light bubble goods, and will not directly face the impact of imported products

secondly, the main users of packaging products are food, beverage, chemical industry, household chemical products and other industries, which will not be greatly impacted after China's entry into WTO. On the contrary, more foreign companies will enter these fields to participate in China's market competition, which will generate greater demand for packaging products, and promote the upgrading of technology and products in the packaging industry itself

third, packaging is a thing in which the cost of raw materials is the main cost. Usually, the cost of raw materials will account for more than 60% of the direct cost of products, and some will even be as high as 80%. After joining the WTO, the tariff of raw materials will be reduced, and the packaging and processing enterprises will be absolutely profitable

fourth, after entering the customs, the import license system will be completely destroyed, the distribution links of imported materials will be reduced correspondingly, the raw material procurement channel will be more unblocked, and the improvement of the competition mechanism will make the raw material price more transparent, which is conducive to packaging enterprises to obtain high-quality raw materials at a lower cost. For those large packaging enterprises, they can directly apply for import and export rights, reduce costs, and avoid import risks

fifth, the tariff of mechanical products will be lowered, which is very conducive to the upgrading of packaging enterprises' equipment and products

seventh, the entry of a large number of foreign products and the increase of exchanges will promote the improvement of China's packaging design level, which is conducive to the upgrading of China's packaging products

industry inventory

paper packaging, plastic packaging, metal and glass packaging products, after the inventory, although the situation is different, there are also special out of place phenomena

paper packaging products the proportion of foreign paper packaging products in the packaging industry is higher than that of China. Domestically, there are two reasons for this. First, Europe and the United States pay more attention to environmental protection and think that paper products are more environmentally friendly; The second is the lack of trees in our country, which lacks the basis for vigorously developing paper packaging. However, the paper packaging market has always been favored by insiders

in 2000, the total production of industrial paper and paperboard in China was 30.9 million tons, an increase of 4.4% over the previous year, and the total consumption reached 36.2 million tons. For a long time, China has imported a large number of paper, paperboard and papermaking raw materials. Since last year, China's paper and paperboard imports have shown negative growth. In 2000, 5.972 million tons were imported, a decrease of 8.4% over 1999. In 2001, imports continued to show a downward trend, with 3.702 million tons of paper and paperboard imported in January, a decrease of 10.27% over the same period last year. The decline in imports was mainly due to the increase in domestic production. At present, the main new devices in the world are mainly concentrated in China. It is reported that from this year, the tariff on wood, paper and their products will be reduced to 8.9%. By 2003, tariffs on most paper and paperboard will be reduced to 5%

compared with paper and paperboard, China is more dependent on the import of pulp and waste paper. In the past few years, in order to meet the needs before China's entry into the WTO, China's import tax rate of pulp and waste paper has been reduced to zero to help domestic paper mills reduce production costs. Therefore, after China's entry into WTO, it will have little impact on the import of pulp and waste paper

plastic packaging products are generally believed that after China's entry into WTO, the Ministry of high-performance materials and special industries of akoma will perform well in the third quarter, and the plastic raw material industry will be greatly impacted. The competition of plastic raw materials in the domestic market will intensify, but the plastic packaging processing industry will benefit from it. PE, PP, pet, PS, PVC, PC and other plastic raw materials will be reduced due to the reduction of tariffs. Due to the complete brand and excellent quality of imported resins, China's plastic packaging enterprises can obtain richer raw material resources after joining the WTO

as foreign plastic processing industry and raw material processing industry belong to different fields, there has been no restriction on the import of China's plastic processing technology and equipment for a long time. Therefore, the starting point of China's plastic processing industry is relatively high. The processing level of many products has reached world-class, such as PET bottles, pet, BOPP film manufacturing equipment of many manufacturers, which use the most advanced models in the world today, and are not at a disadvantage in the international competition. And some large enterprise groups have considerable strength, such as Zhuhai Zhongfu, a professional pet bottle manufacturer, known as the king of Asian bottles, and Shanghai Zijiang enterprise group has also developed into a large comprehensive packaging group integrating PET bottle making, plastic film processing and printing

the key problem to be solved in the future is how to improve the ability of design and product development to meet the increasing requirements of users

metal packaging products aluminum two-piece cans, tinplate three piece cans, metal barrels, convenience barrels and metal miscellaneous cans are the main metal packaging products. For a long time, China's metal can industry has excess production capacity, product supply exceeds demand, enterprises have insufficient operation and low efficiency. After China's entry into WTO, with the increase of downstream products, the demand is expected to turn prosperous, but there is still no hope to fundamentally change the situation in the short term. At present, all aluminum two-piece can enterprises in China are foreign-funded holding enterprises. Therefore, China's entry into WTO has little impact on this industry

for a long time, China has imported a large number of tinplate. At present, the arithmetic weighted average of China's current tariffs is about 10.7%. By January 1, 2005, China's iron and steel industry and import tariffs will not exceed 8%. Perhaps the most important impact on this industry is the cancellation of the license system, which makes many import and export companies that used to rely on special operations of tinplate business have a bad life

the usual way to improve the depression of an industry is to limit production or merge and integrate enterprises. There is no monopoly oligopoly enterprise in China's metal container can industry. Therefore, China's entry into WTO may accelerate the formation of China's large can enterprise groups

the main difficulty of the glass packaging industry, which has been in trouble for a long time, is not whether China will join the WTO, but a structural and industrial problem. This problem is the same all over the world. At present, the main markets of glass packaging are: beer, Baijiu, some fruit juice drinks, condiments, cosmetics, pesticides, chemical reagents, etc. Fruit juice packaging is being strongly challenged by hot filled PET bottles and composite cartons, and the prospect is not optimistic. The seasoning market is also invaded by PET and PE bottles. Glass cosmetics packaging is basically limited to high-end perfume, which is relatively stable; The pesticide market has been squeezed by PET bottles. Due to the particularity of chemical reagents, glass packaging is difficult to replace. The main beer market is facing a strong attack from plastic packaging

however, for the packaging processing industry, China's entry into the WTO is equivalent to playing a good hand. Therefore, people in the industry need not worry all day. On the contrary, with the gradual withdrawal of state-owned capital in the packaging industry, how to strengthen the coordination and cooperation of the packaging industry is more important and meaningful
