In 2014, the global economy still has a slow growth trend, uncertainties still exist, and the economic situation is grim and not optimistic. It is estimated that there will be more changes in the global total in 2014. Among them, it is expected that the corrugated industry in Asia will continue to grow at a high speed, the United States will maintain a low rate of growth, Europe will show flat or negative growth, Latin America's growth is higher than Europe and the United States, but lagging behind China's development speed, China will continue to lead the global industry at a double-digit rate.

China's paper packaging industry and China's reform and opening up synchronized, after more than 30 years of hard work, China has become the world's largest paper packaging producer, but not a powerful country. The development of the industry is facing the challenge of reality. Reform is the key to deciding the fate.

Six major driving force to promote industry development

Science and technology, innovation, green, urbanization, technological transformation, capital injection, the above six driving forces to promote the development of the industry booster.

Technology leads development. 80 professional colleges and universities in China have established packaging major, which are the scientific research guarantee for industrial development. In recent years, the road of production, education and research has become wider and wider. Enterprises have taken the initiative to seek advice from experts. Experts leave the factory for enterprise research topics. It is expected that in 2014, the work will be carried out in a more extensive and in-depth way, with more scientific research on special topics.

Innovative products promote development. Corrugated boxes account for about 80% of China's paper packaging products, thousands of troops march along a single wooden bridge, market homogeneity competition has affected the healthy development of the industry. In 2014, industry associations will vigorously guide food packaging, agricultural and sideline products packaging, handicraft packaging, honeycomb cardboard packaging, 25 kg or more heavy paper bags packaging, mechanical and electrical products to wood packaging, express packaging, paper tubes, paper barrels, furniture and daily necessities, exhibition advertising, such packaging will have a 15% increase.

Expanding the scope of green packaging. Of all the packaging materials, paper is the most environmentally friendly and recyclable. Most of the base paper used in corrugated boxes in China is recycled paper. New breakthroughs will be made in replacing wood with paper in 2014; the manufacture and use of honeycomb paperboard will be further expanded; the production of paper bags and hand-held paper bags will be increased; and the growth rate of paper packaging for agricultural and sideline products will be accelerated.

Urbanization provides market. The construction of urbanization in China will have a tremendous impact on packaging, from rural to urban residents'consumption directly expands the demand for commodity packaging.

Technology promotes advanced capacity. There are more than 40,000 corrugated box factories and more than 4,000 production lines in China, of which more than 60% are high-consumption and low-speed backward capacity, most of which are distributed in towns and surrounding areas. The pressure of production cost and environmental protection force these enterprises to make a choice in recent years, whether to stop and turn around or technological transformation, is the top priority of every enterprise. It is expected that a number of enterprises will close down in 2014, and some leading enterprises will carry out a new round of technological transformation. Advanced equipment can improve efficiency, reduce production costs, reduce the use of workers and meet environmental requirements. These enterprises will expand the market in a certain area, guide the local paper packaging industry, guide the consumption of paper packaging.
