Food and beverage packaging is a big market segment of packaging machinery industry. According to the industrial census data, there are nearly 6000 food packaging machinery enterprises in China, but most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises. According to the statistics of China food and packaging machinery industry association, 1247 enterprises achieved a total industrial output value of 46.96 billion yuan in July, including 27.91 billion yuan of new product output value, an increase of 33.06% over the same period last year, and 45.4 billion yuan of industrial sales value, an increase of 24.82% over the same period last year. However, the trade deficit between import and export has been widening. In the first half of this year, the import reached 1.332 billion US dollars and the export reached 738 million US dollars.

China's food packaging machinery industry started in the second half of 2008. Under the influence of the international financial crisis, although it still maintained the trend of rising against the trend, the growth rate slowed down, which was obviously not as good as the previous years. According to the statistics of China Machinery Industry Federation, in the first half of this year, China's machinery industry generally continued the recovery trend since the fourth quarter of last year, with production and sales growth exceeding 35%, reaching a new high in recent years. However, in the food packaging machinery industry, "although the output value of the industry in the first half of this year increased by more than 30% compared with the same period last year, this data may be a little moisture." He Nanzhi said.

This is also illustrated by the statistics of China Machinery Industry Federation. In terms of operating efficiency, in the first half of this year, the profit of machinery industry increased by 86.13% year-on-year, while that of food packaging machinery industry was low, only over 25%. "This is a dangerous signal. It indicates that the development speed of new products is slowing down, or that the developed new products are not marketable. Even a small number of enterprises that did well in 2009 did not pay enough attention to the development of new products, resulting in the lack of enterprise development potential. The development of the industry can not only rely on the increase of sales volume of old products, without the technical support of new products, how can technological progress be reflected? I hope to attract the high attention of enterprises in the industry. " On many occasions, he Nanzhi expressed such concerns.
