In the packaging box industry, there are few large-scale enterprises and state-owned enterprises, and many private enterprises are scattered. The overall scale of the industry is small. At the same time, it faces the market invasion of many foreign brands. For example, the German SCHOTT Group has entered the Chinese market with its strong technical and economic strength. During the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, my country's packaging box industry needs to be integrated. Through various means such as enterprise alliances, acquisitions, and mergers, some large-scale enterprises and joint enterprises have been formed to promote the healthy development of the industry.

With the rapid development of China’s economy, the improvement of people’s living standards and the increase in medical expenses caused by the aging population, the development of new drugs has increased, the pace of reform of the medical security system has accelerated, and the expansion of urban residents’ medical insurance, industry will continue to maintain rapid growth The momentum of growth. In addition, the quality of Chinese packaging materials and the variety of packaging boxes are significantly lower than international standards. According to the survey, in developed countries, packaging accounts for 30% of the value of products, while China accounts for less than 10%. The next few years will be a period of rapid development of China's packaging industry.

The "Outline of the Twelfth Five-Year Development Plan for the Packaging Box Industry (Draft for Comment)" proposes that packaging boxes are an important part of the industry, and packaging box materials and containers that directly contact drugs are the basic elements of pharmaceuticals, which are important for drug quality and drug safety. Have an important impact. Therefore, in the industry’s "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", packaging should be placed on the same position as pharmaceuticals, rather than supporting industries, and should be clarified in the national industrial plan. The research of packaging materials should be synchronized with the development of medicines, and policy support for the packaging industry should be increased to reflect the industrial policy of packaging materials, key development product areas and technical fields, and development directions.
