The development history and direction of foreign packaging industry

the United States, Western Europe and Japan are the three largest packaging markets in the world, with annual sales of more than 300billion US dollars. Among them, the packaging market in the United States is broader than that in Western Europe and Japan. The annual sales of packaging containers in the United States is about US $140billion, while that in Western Europe is close to US $100billion and that in Japan is US $60billion. The packaging industry in the United States, Western Europe and Japan will continue to grow in the future. It is expected that the packaging market in the United States will grow at an annual rate of 3.5% in the next five years, while the average annual growth rates in Western Europe and Japan are 4% and 3% respectively

at present, the four pillars of paper, plastic, glass and metal that replace the base materials of the packaging industry are added and removed one by one. Among these four kinds of packaging base materials, paper products have the fastest growth, and the sources of raw materials are relatively wide. It is not as fragile as glass, nor as heavy as metal materials, and it is not portable, nor will it have so many environmental protection problems as plastic. Compared with plastic, metal and glass packaging substrates, paper packaging is one of the most promising green packaging materials by using LCA (life, cycle and assessment) technology for quantitative evaluation. At present, cartons, cartons, paper bags, paper barrels, pulp molded products, etc. have become an important part of the modern packaging industry. They are widely used in the sales, packaging and transportation of food, alcohol, light industry, medicine, health products, cosmetics, electronics, home appliances, clothing, toys, sports goods, etc., to ensure that these packages are harmless and safe to people and promote environmental protection. Therefore, paper packaging is widely used in daily life, and is considered to be the most promising and potentially widely used packaging material in many products, such as car bumpers, ventilation ducts, helmets, kitchen appliances, Lego building blocks and so on. The International Health Organization and domestic environmental protection experts believe that non-toxic and harmless all paper environmental protection bags must be used for shopping in the future

it is estimated that the annual packaging sales worldwide are about US $500 ~ 600billion, with more than 100000 packaging companies and more than 5million employees, accounting for 1.5 ~ 2.2% of the gross national product. Generally, the University of Manchester in developed countries believes that the packaging industry is the ninth or tenth largest industry in their country, and the annual growth rate of packaging industry and products in developing countries is more than 10%
