The focus of China's food packaging machinery industry development is industrial restructuring. It is expected that by 2018, China's packaging machinery production will increase to 2 million units (sets), and by 2020 will increase to 3 million units (sets). It is impracticable to rely on simple repetition to expand the production volume and to extend upstream and downstream. China's packaging machinery industry must take the road of specialized production. It is necessary to develop medium and high-end equipment, strive to improve the technical content, make products refined, fine, special, and strong, and rely on technological progress to promote the development of the industry. Industrial restructuring will still be the theme of 2018, which is the prediction made by experts. .

At present, countries around the world attach great importance to the development of packaging machinery, and high-tech products integrating machine, electricity, light, sound and magnetism are constantly emerging. High-efficiency production, high-utilization of resources, energy-saving products, high-tech practicalization, and commercialization of scientific research results have become the trend of packaging machinery development in the world. This is also the development direction of China's packaging machinery industry. For China's packaging machinery manufacturers, it is not seeking the best, but should be seeking the best. Most of the packaging machinery manufacturers in the United States, Japan, and Italy are small, but the degree of specialization is high.

During the "10th Five-Year Plan" period and even 2018, China's food packaging machinery industry should focus on the adjustment of industrial structure, product structure and organizational structure. In the adjustment of industrial structure, we must increase production concentration, promote specialization, serialized production, improve product quality and adaptability to the market; actively develop and support a number of key enterprises with famous brand products, and accelerate the modern enterprise system. Establish and improve, form the industry leader, participate in international market competition, and accelerate industrial upgrading. In the adjustment of product structure, it is necessary to change the current low-tech content in the product structure, and eliminate a number of labor-intensive products with low efficiency, high consumption, low grade and low added value, learn advanced foreign technology, and develop high-efficiency and low-efficiency products. The large-scale complete sets of equipment and high-tech products that are used for production and sales have developed “new, exotic and special” packaging equipment, speeding up the upgrading of packaging machinery and opening up the international market.
