As a supporting industry in many areas of the world economy, the packaging machinery industry has benefited from the prosperity of other industries, and its technological progress and supporting services can also counteract other industries. At present, packaging machinery is currently the most promising machinery field. According to statistics, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, the output of China's packaging special equipment in October 2020 was 25,000 units, an increase of 13.4% year-on-year; the cumulative output of China's packaging special equipment from January to October 2020 was 213,000 units, a cumulative increase of 6.9% ; From 2015 to 2019, the output of China's packaging special equipment fell to the lowest in 2018, and has since increased rapidly.

It can be seen that the packaging industry is developing rapidly, but there are still many problems in the packaging industry. If these problems are not resolved, it will limit its development.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics: in each quarter of 2020 (only October data for the fourth quarter), China’s packaging equipment is mainly produced in East China and South China; the output of China’s packaging equipment from January to October 2020 is not distributed in large regions. Balanced, among them, East China has the highest output, especially Jiangsu Province, which contributed the most output. From January to October 2020, China's top 1 packaging equipment provinces are far ahead of the other top nine, and Guangdong, Jiangsu, Fujian and other provinces have the most output.

my country's packaging machinery industry has great potential for development. With the continuous development and progress of science and technology, microelectronics, computers, industrial robots, image sensing technologies and new materials will be more and more widely used in packaging machinery in the future. Packaging machinery companies urgently need to learn and introduce new technologies, to enter packaging equipment with high production efficiency, high degree of automation, good reliability, strong flexibility, and high technical content, create new packaging machinery, and lead packaging machinery to integrated and efficient Development in the direction of technology and intelligence.

A late start and rapid development are the main characteristics of the domestic packaging machinery industry. At present, the industry as a whole has entered a period of product structure adjustment and improvement of innovation capabilities. Some packaging machinery has filled the domestic gap and can basically meet the needs of the domestic market. Some products are still exported. However, on the whole it is large but not strong, with low quality, weak independent innovation ability, and weak international competitiveness.
