Since the Paris Agreement was unveiled in 2015, several nations have made an important commitment to reducing emissions.

This agreement has provided a key platform for the adoption of targets aimed at reaching the goal of global warming being limited to 2 degrees Celsius.

“Ministers agreed to the ambitious target that 100 percent of Australian packaging be recyclable, compostable, or reusable by 2025 or earlier to cut down on the amount of waste we produce. The 100 percent target will be delivered by the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation, working with its 950 member companies and other stakeholders.”

With the latest 2018 news from Ministers, 100% of all Australian packaging needs to be recyclable, compostable, or reusable by 2025 which will make working with Chinese suppliers more difficult due to extra red tape to overcome. This is where companies such as Primepac are in the great situation of having two teams, one in Australia and one in China whose day-to-day job is to overcome these difficulties and provide high quality, fully regulated packaging in tune with the Australian market.

The flexible packaging market is witnessing tremendous growth as the demand for convenience and lightweight packaging solutions increases.

As the global population grows, the need to find better ways to package food, beverages, and everyday items is essential.

As announced by a research report in 2022, the value of the flexible packaging market was at USD 248.9 billion and is estimated to rise to USD 315.5 billion by 2027, attaining a CAGR of 4.8%.

This substantial growth indicates the potential and future of the industry as companies strive to reduce costs and maximize resource utilization in order to survive the competition in the marketplace.

With this growing trend more and more of the top packaging factories in Chinese Packaging Manufacturers are concentrating on medium-large to large companies with large companies taking a huge 65.29% of the packaging market, while small companies are being sidelined taking a mere 7.61%.

Quite often the small to medium companies cannot compete with the large companies and the Chinese packaging manufactures are not interested in cooperating for small volume orders. This is where Primepac can help. Due to our cooperation with many other companies inside the Australian market Primepac can not only guarantee the package meets the Australian standard but you will receive competitive prices thanks to our large network of suppliers.

The Development of the Chinese Packaging Market

The Chinese flexible packaging market is projected to experience a significant growth of 4.3% across the forecast period 2022 – 2027, making it an attractive target for investors and manufacturers alike.

This development indicates that the overall industry is robust, with the availability of the right resources and support to ensure the highest degree of product quality.

Moreover, the surge in the number of vendors coupled with the trend of online retailers offering additional incentives for buying products has made the Chinese market all the more appealing for existing and new players in the industry.

Therefore, we can expect further positive changes in the near future as manufacturers further their efforts to meet changing customer demands in China’s dynamic flexible packaging market.

The Chinese flexible packaging market continues to be the leader in the global market, recording the most substantial growth and the fastest expansion among all packaging types.

This is largely attributed to the product’s plethora of advantages, such as its low cost, enhanced shelf life, and user convenience.

Furthermore, the introduction of highly advanced materials and the technological advances associated with these have offered innovative solutions that are easier to implement in flexible packages and tailored directly to customers’ needs.

The Chinese flexible packaging market has faced multiple hiccups in the wake of the recent COVID-19 pandemic.

Supply chain disruption and shortage of the raw materials used in the manufacturing processes have affected the industry greatly.

As the government began to shape new policies to curb the infection, the industry also began to recover steadily.

Affected industries were pushed towards diversification and automation over the course of the pandemic, which helped the manufacturers overall become more reliable and efficient.

You should no miss the rising market, no matter if you want to find packaging companies here for cooperation, or expand your business in China.
