The Chinese BOPP film packing machine contractors materials
China is one of the largest manufacturers of synthetic resins in the
world.

With the rapid economic growth, the use of synthetic resin has become more
common, with most production directed at the rapidly expanding
construction and automobile industries, rather than packaging
applications. In 2002, annual production capacity of the five largest
synthetic resins was valued at RMB13.944 million (e1.29 million).
BOPP film packing machine contractors materials plans
During the current five-year plan, China has implemented plans to install
three new petrochemical refineries, including crackers, which will not
come fully on-stream until 2010. In the first nine months of 2003,
production of:
Plastic resin and copolymer reached 11.65 million tonnes, an increase of
17 per cent;
PVC resin was 3.04 million tonnes, an increase of 20 per cent;
PE resin was 3.02 million tonnes, up 18 per cent;
PP resin was 3.10 million tonnes, up 15 per cent;
Plastic additives was 0.77 million tonnes, up 15 per cent.

materials before
In 2002, China produced a total of 14.1 million tonnes of plastic
products, representing an increase of almost 14 per cent on 2001. By
product type, output of plastic films was 3.07 million tonnes, up 11 per
cent on 2001; foam 0.67 million tonnes, 7 per cent; plastic packaging
containers 0.51 million tonnes, up 24 per cent; plastic sheets 0.82
million tonnes, up 19 per cent; and plastic filament and wovens 1.59
million tonnes, up 10 per cent. Out of China's overall plastic production
capacity, packaging materials accounted for approximately 18 per cent of
the total in 2002, and was actually the fastest-growing sector in the
plastic processing industry during the year.
The market for BOPP film packing machine contractors materials
China's paper industry dominated the packaging sector in 2003, when
considered by packaging material volume consumption, accounting for 52 per
cent of all packaging consumed ahead of glass (17 per cent), plastic (23
per cent) and metal (less than 8 per cent). The reliance on paper-based
packaging is entirely due to the historical combination of domestic
material availability versus foreign currency expenditure required to
import alternative materials, coupled with need to prioritise the needs of
other industries for the same materials (plastic sheeting for agriculture,
or aluminium for building and construction).
BOPP film packing machine contractors materials growth
Plastic packaging has experienced continuous growth since 1995. Since the
introduction of the tenth five-year plan, growth rates across all forms of
plastic packaging have consistently led GDP growth by around 3 per cent
annually.
BOPP film packing machine contractors materials demand
In 2003, demand for plastic packaging containers reached 2.25 million
tonnes, while demand for film (of all types) reached 6.4 million tonnes.
Demand for containers and films are forecast to reach to 5.44 million
tonnes and 11.92 million tonnes respectively by 2008.
BOPP film packing machine contractors materials sector
However, it must be noted that China's agricultural sector will
requisition more than 55 per cent of film production on an ongoing year
