Future development trend of carton industry
1. Green environmental protection and plasticization
Green environmental protection packaging is a high-tech form of packaging. From raw materials to packaging design and production, and then to packaging use and recycling, every link requires resource-saving, efficient, environmentally friendly and harmless. Green environmental protection packaging has been widely concerned by the international community, and its research should be considered from the whole process of development, design, production, use, recycling and disposal. At the same time, with the increasingly strict national environmental protection policy and the "plastic limit" and "plastic replacement" policies, the research and development of green environmental protection packaging and plastic replacement packaging is becoming an important development trend of the industry. In the future, the packaging industry of paper products will develop in the direction of reduction, reuse, recyclability, degradability, deplasticization and substitution.

2. Production automation and intelligence
With the progress of technology, the automation and intelligent application of printing and packaging production has gradually become a reality. Digital printing, integrated packaging and printing technology, automatic inspection technology and other advanced technologies are gradually applied to all links of industrial product production and quality management, further improving production efficiency, shortening production cycle and saving labor costs. Traditional equipment with poor performance, low efficiency and high energy consumption will be gradually replaced, and the application of automation and intelligence technology, integrated packaging and printing technology and digital printing will become the future development direction of printing and packaging industry technology, Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.
3. The rise of multi-functional packaging
With the continuous breakthroughs in the science of new materials and new processes, the paper product packaging has been provided with waterproof, oil-proof, breathable and other functions. The continuous improvement of the requirements of the downstream consumer fields for the diversified functions of the paper product packaging has led to the continuous breakthrough of the paper product packaging in terms of oil resistance, water resistance, heat preservation, sterilization and other functions. The leading enterprises in the industry can adapt to the development trend of the industry and further strengthen the leading position by carrying out R&D and application in the above functions.

4. Upgrading of comprehensive service capacity of paper product manufacturers
According to the observation report of Huacheng Import and Export Data, with the rapid development of economy and society, the downstream consumer industry shows the trend of diversified demand and accelerated product iteration. As the packaging supporting industry of the downstream consumer industry, the paper product packaging industry will further strengthen its adhesion with the downstream core customers in the future. The paper product manufacturer will be upgraded from the original product manufacturer to the comprehensive service provider, and the requirements of downstream customers for the comprehensive service capability will be gradually upgraded.
5. Increase of market concentration
According to the observation of Huacheng's import and export data, in 2020, the total sales revenue of the top five manufacturers in China's paper product packaging industry accounted for 13.01% of the total revenue of enterprises above the industry scale, and the market concentration was further increased compared with the corresponding proportion of 5.40% of the top five manufacturers in 2016. Affected by the branding and concentration of downstream consumer industries, paper product packaging manufacturers with customer resource advantages can seize the business growth opportunities brought by the increase of market concentration in this industry.
