BEIJING, July 6 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Himfr.com (http://www.himfr.com/ ), one of China’s leading B2B search platforms with more than 30 B2B industry websites to its name, reports the plastic packaging industry has a bright future.
Himfr.com’s experts predict that in 2009 the plastic application in packaging will account for 50%; the annual growth rate will remain around 3%. Plastic packaging will gradually invade the paper packaging materials market, to occupy a greater market share. Compared with paper packaging, plastic packaging has obvious advantages. In addition, people’s incomes and living standards rise, which provides an opportunity for plastic packaging development.
Paper food packaging: plastic packaging -- the main alternative
It is predicted that in the market the fastest growing sectors are pet food, fruit beverages, eggs, candy and bakery. In addition, the further development of packaging technology, such as the rapid application of packaging machines that not only reduce the cost of packaging but also increase the variety, accelerates the development of plastic packaging, especially the growth of pet food packaging.
From health considerations, growth of hard plastic packaging containers such as plastic bottles, cups, plates and tubes exceeds the soft plastic packaging; packaging of this type is used mainly for frozen foods, bakery and so on. Although the use of paper packaging products is strong, it will be gradually replaced by plastic.
In the next 5 years, paper packaging’s competitive profit margins will shrink; the demand for consumption will decline. Paper packaging is common in the food industry because of health factors, stimulated by paper packaging products for one-time use, such as cardboard boxes, packaging paper and bags. Therefore, paper was slowly replaced by plastic in packaging. Paper has a respiratory function, but also has an environmental protection function. However, high-barrier materials will contribute to the rapid development of plastic packaging. High-pressure polyethylene film
