Filling and sealing machine of the market growing, the needs of customers gradually increased, starting in the technical requirements are getting higher and higher above. Now we have the African countries the demand for filling and sealing machine to make the following analysis.
The development of African countries, privatization is the world's most powerful private investment increasingly active, causing the growth of the private processing and manufacturing machinery and equipment for filling the demand is increasing rapidly. African part of the Government's request to 2010, all food must be packaged, also stimulated the rapid growth of the packaging market, driving the packaging industry. Filling in Africa in 2006 the output value of 1.56 billion machinery and equipment, the amount of 12.58 billion U.S. dollars of imports and exports 640 million U.S. dollars.
Various models in use in Africa: The type depends on the product packaging machine type, liquid packaging using plastic bottles or jars, powder polypropylene bags, plastic containers, metal containers or cartons, solid use paper boxes, plastic bags or carton pellets. Wholesale packaging with cartons, drums or polypropylene bags, retail goods are made of glass, plastic, foil, cardboard boxes or paper bags tetrahedron.
Packaging machine is divided into horizontal and vertical. Vertical machine for a certain amount of filling and packaging of goods, such as rice, beans and other granular products. 75% of the vertical packing of goods, Africa automatic filling and sealing machinery demand growth is expected to reach 5.6%. Food, medicine and cosmetics, chemicals, textiles four main vertical packaging industry. Made of a transparent box with cellophane for 12 to 24 pcs of goods, especially for desserts, paper towels, medicines and so on. Cellophane is also used for cigarette packaging. The industry will be an increase of 5.2%.
5.1% growth in the dairy industry, including cheese and butter, cutting and foil packaging with packaging, cartons of milk and cheese to use. African dairy packaging market for the German tetra-pack of long-term monopoly, the company leased the machine manufacturers, driving sales of packaging materials. Austria pkc companies now entered the market at lower prices to attract the manufacturer. Filling and sealing machine for soap, biscuits, chocolate and other bulk solids packaging, expected demand for such machinery market grew by 7%. Because wine, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer, distilled alcoholic beverages, carbonated beverages and mineral water production increased rapidly, while edible oil production increase of 16%, so the demand for bottling machines expected to grow by 5%. Including bedding, towels, clothing, including the growth of textile production to 2%, thus the demand for plastic bags will also increase accordingly.
Despite the high price of aluminum in Africa, but the manufacturers still use aluminum packaging butter, fish, beef and tomato sauce. Output growth of 4.6% cream, canned fish production grew 4.4%. But instead of tomato sauce gradually cartons or glass bottles. Tablet packaging line with the pharmaceutical industry and the glass ampoule production, filling and sealing line. Although the pharmaceutical industry grew 8%, but there is no growth in demand for packaging stand-alone, because the manufacturer to ensure quality and stability, often in the introduction of technologies, including filling machinery, including the purchase of a full set of equipment.
Almost all industries have adopted the final packaging corrugated boxes. In recent years, many African carton factory production, but the market is not saturated. The industrial growth of up to 10% or more; in the end-users, private enterprises accounted for 60%, 40% state-owned enterprises. By Sector, 60% of the food processing industry, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics accounted for 20%, chemical products 12%, textiles 5%, other 3%.
Better market models: semi-automatic filling and sealing machine level and the lower prices, higher demand, many manufacturers were happy to buy this new machine, to be a firm foothold in the market, product, and then updated to the automatic equipment. Corrugated box production line. For edible oils and mineral water pet (polyester vinyl) plastic bottle production line. pet as transparency, light weight, is gradually replaced by high-density polyethylene used in the production of plastic bottles. Africa's annual consumption of 450 million plastic bottles, so the pvc to replace the mechanical great pet market.
Soap filling and sealing machine also market potential. The level of cheese and butter for the filling, sealing machine and the demand for cream canning machine will continue to grow.
National product market share and the main supplier of: filling and sealing machine and automatic filling and sealing machine can be produced in Africa, but the quality is quite different, with the constant expansion of the introduction of technology, domestic packaging machines are gradually replacing imported packaging machine, which has begun to export more advanced. Currently filling machine-made domestic market accounted for 30%. Filling machinery import duty of 5%, the additional sales tax of 10%.
Previously, China's filling machinery in the appearance and durability of products than European countries, but the price is cheap, economical and practical, have a better cost performance. With China's economic development and deepen understanding of China Africans, African traders on the concept of Chinese products is gradually changing, the demand for machinery products in China is also increasing. In recent years, businessmen inquiry increasing filling machinery, which is to open up China's enterprises filling machinery market in Africa is a good opportunity, but it should be noted that to ensure product quality and after-sales service, to prevent second-hand equipment, seq fully charged, damaging the reputation of Chinese products has traditionally Italy, Germany, Spain and other European countries in Africa, filling a major supplier of machinery, the European products with good quality, advanced technology and perfect after-sales service has always been dominant, was generally welcomed. After 1995, China, India and Taiwan, a relatively advanced technology products and lower prices gradually expand its market share. The price of Chinese products on average 30% lower than in Europe, and India has 10% lower than China. Although the shorter product life of these countries, generally no more than 5 years, but Africa's skilled workers to its maintenance, long life, so many SMEs are still willing to buy.
