Since entering the 21st century, the global manufacturing industry has formed a blowout-like high-speed development trend in a good market atmosphere. Packaging, as the last link of the industrial value chain, has been paid more and more attention by manufacturers. The development of packaging industry can not be separated from the development of packaging machinery and equipment industry, which is closely related to the development of packaging machinery and equipment. The continuous introduction of new equipment is the main basis for the rapid development of packaging industry.

According to statistics, the global consumption of soft packaging reached 18.1 million tons in 2011, and the output value reached 58.3 billion US dollars. For the field of packaging machinery, this growth rate has greatly increased the market demand for packaging machinery and equipment, but also to a large extent stimulated the industry's technological upgrading. The new packaging machine with intelligent and automatic functions will gradually replace the tradition and become the mainstream in the future. This is an effective way for packaging machinery enterprises to achieve sustainable development, and also the ultimate goal of technological reform.

Taking the food industry, which plays an important role in the packaging industry, as an example, the total imports of food processing and packaging machinery in recent years have remained at about 2 billion US dollars. From the perspective of future development trend, food packaging machinery will cooperate with industrial automation, promote the overall level of packaging equipment, develop multi-functional, high-efficiency, low-consumption food packaging equipment, and realize the mechatronics of food packaging machinery.

Microcomputer technology, module technology and unit combination form, with the cooperation of high technology and equipment, can realize the safe production of packaging materials. At the same time, with the increasing cost pressures and the soaring labor costs, the integration, intelligence and automation of equipment have also effectively brought about the shortage of labor resources.

In such a competitive market environment, only through innovation and technological renewal can enterprises seize the lead. We can foresee that the packaging machinery and equipment in the future must be developed in the general direction of high intelligence, high efficiency, high competition and high efficiency. So as to promote the overall level of packaging equipment.
