A Complete Overview Of Chinese Packaging Manufacturers

China’s manufacturing sector is the driving force behind their economic growth, with a recent study accounting for 40.5% of total GDP or £2 890 billion in 2017. While they may not grab many headlines themselves- packaging companies play pivotal roles within this ecosystem!

Market research firm Technavio estimates that the flexible packaging market alone will grow by about £3.8 billion in China by 2022.We will also be covering what is needed for the UK packaging market and how Primepac is your number 1 choice when picking who will supply your packaging for you!

Splitting Chinese packaging manufacturers into 5 materials.

The Chinese Packaging manufacturers industry is growing year on year, however, in terms of packaging types we can split the global industry into 5 main types of materials:

  1. Paper
  2. Plastic
  3. Metal
  4. Glass
  5. Other

The paper packaging industry is a major player in world trade, with an annual revenue that tops $200 billion.

5 packaging material market share

When sourcing for the UK market, Chinese manufacturers must ensure that their packaging aligns with specifications set out in The Packaging Covenant. With a combined share of 69% on vast majority (89%)of these companies manufacturing packages in China this is important to note as it will affect what kind or product can be sold in Great Britain.

How does the UK Packaging Covenant affect me?

The UK has ambitious goals for its packaging industry. Ministers agreed to a target that all country’s domestically-produced boxes, wraps, and labels are recyclable or compostable by 2025 so they can cut down on the amount of waste being produced in our landfills.”
The new rules will make it difficult if not impossible because there are extra regulations put forth just for China suppliers who want business with this particular jurisdiction – but PrimePac is working hard towards meeting those demands regardless!

Packaging manufacturing growth. Who is being left behind?

The global flexible packaging market size is expected to reach $261 billion by 2022, a compound growth rate of 4.41%!

2015-2020 global packaging growth

With the growing trend of concentrating on medium-large and large companies, it is no surprise that 65% percent (or more) packaging factories in Chinese Packaging Manufacturers are currently going towards those with a higher market share. This means that smaller businesses will be side lined as they make up just 7%.
