My country's metal packaging industry has now formed a complete metal packaging industrial system including printing and coating iron, can making, cap making, barrel making and other products. With the improvement of national consumption power and the continuous emergence of consumption habits, the fast-growing high-end beverage products use a large number of metal packaging materials. In recent years, my country's metal packaging industry has entered a period of rapid development. Since the domestic market has not yet started effectively, and the safety and convenience of metal packaging relative to glass bottle packaging need to be improved, the market volume of metal packaging used in canned food is immeasurable and there is a strong growth momentum.
The strong demand for two-piece cans in the rural market, and the gradual increase in metal packaging machinery and equipment, management and production capacity, therefore, my country's metal packaging industry will have a lot to do. From the results of market research, some large-scale enterprise groups and intensive production are taking shape in the industry. Larger enterprise groups use their capital, technology, brand, reputation and other advantages to continue to grow bigger and stronger through capital export, low-cost expansion, reorganization, mergers, and leasing.
According to relevant data, in 2011, international packaging sales revenue was 592.2 billion US dollars. Among them, metal packaging is US$ 102 billion, accounting for 17% of the entire international packaging, and the per capita consumption is US$ 13.6. During the same period, my country's metal packaging sales revenue was US$10.85 billion, surpassing Japan's US$7.4 billion, second only to the US of US$23.2 billion, and becoming the world's second largest metal packaging country. Metal packaging still has huge room for development in the entire packaging industry chain.
Aluminum two-piece cans are made of aluminum alloy thin plates, and a thinning and stretching process is used in the manufacturing process, so the thickness of the can wall is significantly thinner than the bottom of the can. When used in beer packaging, strong internal pressure will compensate for the rigidity of the thin tank wall. However, the high gas barrier, light-shielding and sealing properties of metal cans will keep the quality of beer in the cans stable. It is also the existence of these metal features that make the metal cans can be filled at high speed even with the time-consuming filling method of equal pressure filling.
The rapid growth of food and fast-moving consumer goods is the first traction for the rapid development of this industry, and the upgrade trend of packaging products will directly increase the share of metal packaging products in various categories of packaging products; in the future, metal packaging will pay more attention to food safety and thinning Reduce quantity and pay more attention to recyclability.
