There are three major problems in the domestic food and packaging machinery industry

China's food and packaging machinery industry was born in a market economy. When China entered the market economy in the early 1980s, when a group of SMEs left the national plan, they could not know what to do. Enterprises encountered great difficulties. Some enterprises that originally made machine tools and agricultural machinery turned to packaging machinery and food machinery. Development and manufacturing; In addition, due to market demand, some private companies are also optimistic about the industry, in the packaging and food machinery to find a way out. Compared with China's machinery industry, the food and packaging machinery industry was 32 years late. Therefore, it is a childish industry. Although it is developing rapidly, it also has serious shortcomings, mainly in the following three aspects.
The low level of repetition is mostly due to the different origins of companies (state-owned, collective, and private), and the disparity in capital, equipment, and technical strength. The starting point is also high and low. The overall trend is that there are fewer high starting points, and most companies are on low-level equipment. For example, a relatively simple automatic sealing machine has produced nearly 100 enterprises in a region. The scale is not large. There have been no major changes in the past 20 years. The production cost has been greatly reduced due to the implementation of specialized production. Although the demand is relatively large, but due to a large number of repeated production in the same region, but also making the low-price competition intensify, a machine more than 1,000 yuan can be traded, the profit margin is very small. There are still some products that have not changed their faces for more than ten years (such as small liquid filling machines). There are many manufacturers, low-cost competition has caused workers to cut corners and cut steel grades, resulting in greatly reduced wear and corrosion resistance. Some companies only follow suit behind others, see what equipment is good to do, and what equipment other people make money on will mimic what equipment, regardless of intellectual property rights, plagiarism, resulting in market confusion. The serious consequences of low-level repetitive production are disrupting the market, technological retrogression, corporate suicide, and industry damage.
Insufficient innovation capacity Because the industry is still a new industry, compared with the number of employees in the industry and the total number of companies, the corresponding proportion of professional research institutes and colleges and universities in the industry is still relatively small. Moreover, after many scientific research institutes were reorganized into enterprises, they still focused on selling products and did not exert their own scientific research advantages. Therefore, there was a fault in the application of new technologies. Even if there are new research results, because they do not have the ability to publicize and promote, users do not know and can't be transformed into productive forces in time, and companies are forced to rely entirely on their own technical strength to develop new products. The disconnection between the production and sales of scientific research results not only causes huge waste, but also is not conducive to technological progress. Some cutting-edge work such as ultra-low temperature, ultra-high pressure, membrane separation, supercritical extraction, radiation, vacuum and other technologies and equipment can only be completed by a certain institution, and it is urgent for enterprises to invest funds. The combination of the modes of production, learning, and research advocated in the past has failed to manifest itself, and limited scientific research has failed to fully play its role. This has led many companies to copy and imitate each other, and to become their own products after a slight improvement. In addition to price advantages, this category of products is not competitive in the international market. It is hoped that scientific research institutes and colleges and universities in this industry will fully utilize their scientific research resources, use industry associations as a bridge, and “marry” new technologies. Of course, this technology must be practical, and it must have good economic and social benefits.
Low production concentration Food and packaging machinery itself is an emerging industry. Twenty years of time are not enough to form a deeply rooted brand, but companies that have consistently adhered to “quality first” have first established the foundation of a brand name, plus The continuous innovation in the competition, the application of high and new technology and the exploration of cutting-edge technology, well-known companies, well-known products will be gradually filtered out. For example, although there are quite a few manufacturers in the production of brewery beverage filling production lines, the well-known and high-sales products have shown a clear concentration, and well-known and well-known brands are gradually forming.
There are nearly 6,000 enterprises in the industry in China, of which more than 2,000 are not stable enough. Nearly 15% of companies convert or close down each year, but about 15% of companies join the industry and their output value and sales exceed 100 million yuan. With only a dozen companies, the best company’s output value and sales amounted to just over one billion yuan, and there was only one listed company. Only 50 companies had sales of over 30 million yuan per year, and the total sales of these 50 companies were only 8 billion yuan, only 20.66% of the concentration, 75% of export products are completed by these companies, and future large-scale industrial companies will be generated in these companies. It is estimated that by 2005, there will be 100 companies with sales of more than 30 million yuan per year, and production concentration will reach more than 50%.
