Ten major trends in China's packaging industry in 2023

Domestic substitution

The domestic substitution of high-end packaging materials and high-end packaging equipment is increasingly urgent.

Transfer from Southeast Asia

In a number of industries mainly serving international brands, it is expected that local segments will be as high as 10-30/100 in Southeast Asia, which should be actively dealt with.

Single material

The single material replaces the traditional packaging for continuous fermentation, and the high barrier single material solution represented by the new functional coating becomes the key to breaking the situation.

Simple packaging

Reducing the use of packaging materials, simplifying the packaging process, returning to the main function of packaging, optimizing the packaging structure, promoting the standardization of packaging materials, and reducing packaging carbon emissions will become the consensus of the whole industry.

Intelligent packaging

It is difficult to change the status quo of "good" and "bad" without solving the problem of value increment of smart packaging.

Molded pulp

Fine pulp molding will continue to grow in many fields, and will continue to crack in challenging areas such as food packaging and daily chemical packaging, presenting a "prairie fire" trend.

High barrier coated paper

High barrier coated paper is expected to replace disposable plastic packaging on a large scale in more fields.

Recycled packaging

The cycle packaging will rapidly switch to the new circuit of "high efficiency and large-scale" cycle packaging, and the traditional mode of taking the box as the cycle carrier is expected to be overturned.

Packaging recycling

The outstanding problems of "color disorder, miscellaneous materials, poor quality and high price" of recycled materials need to be solved, and the screening technology of packaging recycled materials needs to be solved. The problem of packaging recycling is difficult to solve without changing the high value utilization of recycled materials.

Future packaging

In the future, as a part of the product, packaging will deeply participate in the process of product production and consumption. The integration of product packaging and product packaging manufacturing process is becoming the main driving force for the future industry reform.
