At present, China's packaging and printing industry is entering a new trough. Influenced by changes in global market relations, the supply and demand pattern is also gradually evolving. With reduced market demand and increasingly fierce competition, China's corrugated packaging industry and the entire packaging and printing field are entering a stage of white-hot competition. Many companies are confused about the direction of the future, should they grow conservatively or invest heavily to capture the market? This has become one of the hottest topics in the market.
The current situation is an inevitable development process of the entire industry, and it is also a process that developed countries in Europe and the United States have long experienced. By studying the development history of the European and American markets, we can fully tap the market opportunities. Before the outbreak of the financial crisis, the corrugated packaging industry in the United States has begun to go through a consolidation phase. In the process of integration, the level of factory automation has become a key factor in the survival and elimination of this elimination game. After the financial crisis, both external capital and large enterprise groups, with the help of the market wave, especially international enterprise groups, gradually seized market share, and the market share reached nearly 80%. At this stage, the product structure of the corrugated packaging industry and the layout of market segments have undergone great changes, different types of companies provide services for specific customer groups, and the market division of labor has become more refined and gradually mature.
The current structure of the Chinese market shows a hierarchical pattern similar to the "pyramid". Whether it is the type of enterprise or the type of customer, the structure is relatively single, especially the high degree of overlap between customer groups, which is also one of the main reasons for fierce competition. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the market structure from the "pyramid" type to a more diversified "hourglass" type structure, and win the market segment by "turning to fine" strategy. This will help companies stand out from the fierce competition.
