Analyze the development of Russian packaging machinery market

Russia's economic heavy industry and light industry were too light during the former Soviet Union. After the Soviet Union disintegrated, Russia was in a state of political turmoil and economic crisis. Since 1998, the Russian economy has seen a recovery. The adjustment of machinery and the development of production have increasingly become the mainstream of economic life. The market for plastics processing machinery, printing machinery, food processing machinery, packaging machinery and other light industrial machinery and equipment is increasingly heating up. The Russian production and supply capacity of these equipments is very weak. Therefore, they mainly rely on imports and have a vast market.

In recent years, the Russian packaging machinery industry has developed rapidly. By the end of 2001, Russia's packaging machine manufacturers had increased to more than 250, including 70 in Moscow, 30 in the suburbs of Moscow, 35 in Peterburg, and 120 in other cities. In terms of product range, there are 14 packaging material manufacturing machinery companies – 6 plastic films, 1 paper machine, 7 corrugated board machines, and about 50 packaging material processing machinery companies – PET bottles and PET cans forming machines 23 There are 12 plastic cup bowl forming machines, 14 cardboard and corrugated board processing machines, 8 board and corrugated cardboard printing machines, 1 metal packaging machinery manufacturing company, 3 glass container manufacturing machines, and 40 solid filling machine companies. ——9 filling machines, 26 vertical bag filling machines, 4 horizontal bag filling and packing machines, 105 liquid and sticky packaging machines, 80 filling machines, 25 container filling machines, and 22 sealing machines. Home - 9 spiral capping machines, 5 bag sealing machines, 16 vacuum packaging machines, 40 heat-shrinking packaging machines, 14 film shrink packaging machines, 5 cover-packing machines and 21 multi-purpose machines. Bottle labeling machine 15. The output and output value of Russia’s packaging machinery currently have no statistics. According to the statistics of 35 Russian packaging machinery companies, from 1995 to 2000, these enterprises produced a total of more than 15,000 charter flights of various types, including 400 plastic film manufacturing machines. 150 sets of PET bottle and can manufacturing machines, 656 sets of cardboard and corrugated cardboard manufacturing machines, 1,000 sets of solid material filling and packaging machines, 3,366 sets of liquid and sticky material packaging machines, 3,650 sets of beverage and other liquid filling and packaging machines, and 897 sets of vacuum packaging machines. There are 4949 heat-shrinkable packaging machines and 48 sealing machines. There are 12 machines that use old paper and old paperboard to produce packaging materials, and 250 large-bag sewing machines, a total of 15,377 sets.

In 2000, the import amount of Russian packaging machinery was 38.226 million U.S. dollars and the export amount was 30.5 million U.S. dollars. It can be seen that Russian packaging machinery still imports more than exports.
