Packaging?·?Global trend and the Italian industry focus

The packaging industry is influenced by various factors, such as consumer preferences, environmental concerns, regulatory requirements, technological innovations, and market trends.

Sustainability

This includes using biodegradable, recyclable, or renewable materials, minimizing waste and energy consumption, and improving the recyclability and composability of packaging.

Innovation

The packaging industry is constantly evolving with new technologies and designs that aim to improve the functionality, performance, and appeal of packaging. Some of the emerging innovations include active packaging, intelligent packaging, smart labels, edible packaging, and nanotechnology. Innovation is the distinctive characteristic of Italian SMEs. Attention to detail, adaptability, and tailor-made solutions are what allow the main small and medium size Italian packaging companies to remain at top in terms of innovation.

The Italian packaging industry is also committed to sustainability and environmental protection.?The industry has reduced its use of some packaging materials such as plastic, glass and aluminum nearly by half, in favor of recycled products such as cardboard, over the past 10 years. The industry also aims to prevent food waste and make the most of agricultural raw materials by adopting circular economy principles and eco-design practices.

In addition, China imports quite a number of packing machines from Italy, with an import value of about 71 million euros in 2022.?About 30 million euros of import value was recorded in the category of filling, sealing, labeling and encapsulation machines.

According to the data, the revenue of China’s packaging special equipment manufacturing industry in 2021 is about 67 billion RMB, and the output of packaging special equipment reached 754,300 units, with a year-on-year increase of 186.4%.?In terms of output distribution, it is mainly centralized in Shanghai, Guangdong, and Zhejiang.?In recent years, China’s machinery manufacturing capacity has been improving rapidly and is working towards automation, efficiency, intelligence, and energy saving.
