China's packaging manufacturers should not only focus on the domestic market but also aim for a global presence. By observing and understanding the current state of the packaging industry in other countries, they can identify strengths and weaknesses, and learn from them to improve their own practices and competitiveness. This cross-learning approach can lead to better innovation and more efficient solutions.
Currently, China's corrugated packaging sales account for approximately 15% of the total sales in the entire corrugated industry. The country is capable of producing over 30 types of corrugated packaging materials across six categories, which largely meet the needs of the domestic pharmaceutical sector. However, in developed nations, corrugated packaging makes up about 30% of the value of all corrugated products, while in China it remains below 10%. With the growing demand, the next few years are expected to be a period of rapid growth for the corrugated packaging industry in China.
Compared to the Chinese market, Russia’s paper packaging industry has experienced significant growth due to a stable domestic consumer market and the completion of new production facilities. According to data from the Russian Packaging Association, the annual production of paper packaging in Russia is around 5.1 million tons, representing roughly 57% of the total packaging market. Over 65% of this paper packaging is used in the food industry, followed by pharmaceuticals and chemicals. As packaging technologies continue to advance, the scale of paper packaging is expected to grow further.
Take the paper packaging industry as an example. Recently, a Norwegian liquid food packaging company invested in a new paper packaging line at its branch factory in Shevarsk. This line will specialize in producing food packaging bags, particularly for dairy products and juice drinks. Once operational, the new line is expected to help the company widen the gap with competitors and strengthen its position in the Russian market. The Shevarsk plant officially began operations in December 2011, with an annual production capacity of 800 million units.
Before 2010, most Russian manufacturers primarily produced plastic plates. However, in recent years, many have shifted to producing cardboard, leading to a significant increase in its market share. In particular, the corrugated paper industry has been growing at a rate of 15% to 20% per year, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors in the Russian paper packaging industry.
Through various data, we can see that the corrugated paper industry has successfully recovered from the impact of the global economic crisis and has returned to pre-crisis levels. However, since 2010, the industry has faced challenges such as raw material shortages, especially a lack of affordable materials. As time goes on, this situation has worsened. With the expansion of many production facilities, the industry now faces excess capacity. Despite this, corrugated paperboard remains a widely used packaging material, but its utilization rate in the Russian market has dropped to 70%.
I hope this information provides you with a clearer picture of the current state and future potential of the packaging industry. If you have any further questions or need more details, feel free to ask.
