China's packaging manufacturers should not only focus on the domestic market but also aim for a global presence. By observing the development status of the packaging industry in other countries, they can identify opportunities to complement their own strengths and enhance overall industry performance. This global perspective is essential for staying competitive in an increasingly interconnected world.
Currently, China's corrugated packaging sales account for approximately 15% of the total sales in the entire corrugated industry. The country can produce over 30 varieties of corrugated packaging materials across six categories, which largely meet the needs of the domestic pharmaceutical sector. However, in developed countries, corrugated packaging makes up around 30% of the value of all corrugated products, while in China, it's still below 10%. With growing demand, the next few years are expected to be a period of rapid growth for China's corrugated packaging industry.
In comparison, the Russian paper packaging industry has experienced significant growth due to a stable consumer market and the completion of new production facilities. According to recent data from the Russian Packaging Association, the annual production of paper packaging in Russia reaches about 5.1 million tons, making up 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 expand further.
For example, a Norwegian liquid food packaging manufacturer recently 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 facility is expected to strengthen the company’s position in the Russian market and give it a competitive edge. The plant, officially launched in December 2011, has an annual production capacity of 800 million units.
Before 2010, most Russian manufacturers produced plastic plates. However, in recent years, many have shifted toward 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% annually, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors in the Russian paper packaging industry.
Despite the global economic crisis, the corrugated paper industry has managed to recover to pre-crisis levels. However, since 2010, the industry has faced challenges, particularly with raw material shortages—especially the lack of affordable materials. As time goes on, the situation has worsened. With the expansion of many production facilities, the industry now faces excess capacity. Although corrugated paperboard remains a widely used packaging material, the utilization rate in the Russian market has dropped to 70%.
I hope this information provides valuable insights and helps you better understand the current state and future direction of the packaging industry.
