Reflections on the Economic Types and Development of Packaging Industry in China

The economic type structure of China's packaging industry

Since the reform and opening up, the packaging industry has also exhibited the pattern of public ownership as the main body and various kinds of economic components competing to develop along with the entire national economy. In the total output value of the packaging industry, the proportion of state-owned industries has declined year by year, from 61.1% in 1982 to 59.7% in 1985, to 54.1% in 1990, and to 39.6% in 1995. However, publicly-owned industries (ie, state-owned industries plus collective industries) The pattern of the dominant position has not changed. In 1995, public ownership industry accounted for the share of the packaging industry, which was calculated as 80.7% of the total industrial output value, and 77% of the original value of fixed assets and current assets.

The state-owned packaging industry enterprises have a low rate of development. During the 8th five-year period, the development speed of the state-owned packaging industry was 12.5%, while that of the collective packaging industry was 18.8% during the same period, and that of other types of packaging industry was 77.4%. Losses of state-owned packaging industry enterprises increased, and the company’s loss-making face expanded from 12.6% in 1990 to 26.98% in 1995. The proportion of state-owned packaging industry's total profits to total profits decreased from 67.4% in 1990 to 35.3% in 1995. This is mainly due to the historical burdens, debt burden, heavy social burden, and the company's own mechanism problems in the state-owned packaging industry enterprises, which are similar to the entire state-owned enterprises in this period. Among other economic types of packaging enterprises, the scale of development of foreign-funded enterprises and township and township enterprises has expanded dramatically, and their share in the packaging industry has increased significantly, and has gradually become a new force in the packaging industry.

The regional structure of China's packaging industry

From a national point of view, the packaging industry in the eastern region has developed at a significantly faster pace than the central and western regions. Especially in the period of the Eighth Five-Year Plan period, the gap in this region has significantly widened.

Comparing the total industrial output value, among the 29 provinces and cities across the country, there are 6 regions with 1995 accounting for more than 5% of the total output value of the country's packaging industry, of which 5 are located in the eastern region, namely 16.89% in Jiangsu, 10.13% in Guangdong, and 7.99 in Shandong. %, 6.94% in Shanghai, 6.39% in Hebei, and 1 in the central region, ie 5.05% in Hubei; and 6 in the proportion of less than 1.2% in the western region, namely 1.12% in Shaanxi, 1.09% in Gansu, and 0.98% in Xinjiang There are 0.86% in Guizhou, 0.423% in Ningxia, and 0.084% in Qinghai. Two of them are distributed in the central region, namely Shanxi 1.07% and Inner Mongolia 0.42%, and only one is located in the eastern region, namely 0.35% in Hainan.

Judging from the type of business economy, the proportion of state-owned industries in the central and western regions is relatively high, while the proportion of the foreign-funded industries and other industries in the eastern region is relatively high.

Reflections on the Development of Packaging Industry in China

During the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" period, under the guidance of Deng Xiaoping's theory of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, China's packaging industry has followed the basic principles of the socialist market economic system and achieved two fundamental changes, guided by science and technology, and guided by the market. Focusing on improving economic efficiency and focusing on corporate reform, the overall level of the packaging industry has been greatly improved, and the packaging industry has maintained a sustained, rapid, and healthy development.

During the "10th Five-Year Plan" period, China's packaging industry adhered to the guidance of Deng Xiaoping Theory, followed the basic laws of the socialist market economy, guided by the market, used science and technology as a driving force, deepened the reform of the enterprise system, changed the operating mechanism of enterprises, and adopted effective measures to seize Focus on packaging, improve the level of China's packaging industry as soon as possible, focus on economic efficiency, improve product packaging, and improve the quality of packaging. Continue to adhere to the principle of unification of speed and efficiency. In the future, the production of packaging products should not be carried out blindly, and the repeated construction of middle and low-end packaging production projects should be prevented. Production should be carried out according to market demand, and the emphasis must be placed on improving the economic efficiency of enterprises. Adhering to the principle of combining quality and quantity, improving the quality of packaging products is the top priority. The past two decades have solved the problem that China's packaging products are in short supply. In the future, we must focus on solving the problem of the quality of packaging products in China. Adhere to the principle of the east and the west. The unbalanced development of China's packaging industry, the rapid development of the eastern region, there is a certain gap between the western region and the eastern region, the western region should work hard to improve the quality of packaging products, the eastern region should focus on improving the quality of packaging products, the level of the upper level, the creation of famous brand. Adhere to the principle of combining development with environmental protection and the principle of equal emphasis on state-owned and private enterprises. During the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" period, as the development focus of the packaging industry, efforts should be made to improve the packaging grade of export commodities and vigorously develop new types of packaging materials, such as the development and production of high-strength paper. To speed up the development of new products for packaging machinery, make great efforts to improve the grade and level of packaging machinery. To develop green packaging, accelerate the research and development of wood packaging, explore ways to reduce packaging, and actively develop packaged transportation packaging.
