Aluminum foil is widely used, and experts have divided it into more than 20 varieties according to its application characteristics. Due to the differences in economic development levels in different countries, there is also a large gap in the consumption structure of aluminum foil. In developed countries in Europe and America, aluminum foil products for packaging account for 70% of total demand. In the Chinese market, aluminum foil is mainly used as raw materials for industrial manufacturing, and packaging aluminum foil accounts for only 30% of total domestic demand. Although the development of aluminum foil packaging is relatively late, the market is growing rapidly and the prospects are attracting attention.
China's aluminum foil production began in 1932, but it did not develop rapidly until after the reform and opening up. After the 1990s, aluminum foil production entered an important period, not only the introduction of a large number of advanced equipment, production management and technology development level has gradually moved towards modernization and internationalization. Since 2000, the production capacity of aluminum foil has increased rapidly due to strong market demand.
Development of aluminum foil packaging
Aluminum foil packaging began in the early 20th century, when aluminum foil was used as an expensive packaging material for packaging purposes only. In 1911, the Swiss confectionery company began to wrap chocolate in aluminum foil and gradually became popular in place of tin foil. In 1913, the United States began to produce aluminum foil based on the success of aluminum smelting, mainly for commodities, life-saving supplies and chewing gum packaging. In 1921, the United States successfully developed composite aluminum foil board, which was mainly used as a decorative board and a packaging folding carton. In 1938, heat-sealable aluminum foil paper was introduced. During the Second World War, aluminum foil was rapidly developed as a military packaging material. In 1948, food was packaged in molded aluminum foil containers. In the 1950s, aluminum paper and aluminum-plastic composite materials began to develop. By the 1970s, with the maturity of color printing technology, aluminum foil and aluminum-plastic composite packaging entered a period of rapid popularity.
In the 21st century, the trend of market competition and product homogenization has stimulated the rapid development of product packaging. At present, the global packaging market has reached 600 billion US dollars. The development of aluminum foil packaging is basically in sync with the development of the whole industry. In the Chinese market, aluminum foil packaging is developing faster. There are two main reasons: the gap between the development of China's flexible packaging market and developed countries is obvious, and the proportion of soft packaging for daily consumer goods and food is small. Developed countries have accounted for more than 65%, some have exceeded 70%, while China accounts for about 15%, and the proportion has increased rapidly in the past two years. Second, domestic aluminum-plastic composite and aluminum-paper composite technologies have matured, production costs have decreased, and The popular application of aluminum-based composite materials in the Chinese packaging market.
Market analysis of aluminum foil packaging
After nearly a century of development, aluminum foil has become a major packaging material, and its market development is mature in Europe and the United States, but in the Chinese market, aluminum foil packaging has broad prospects. The following is mainly to analyze the market of aluminum foil in food packaging.
The main areas of application of aluminum foil are: (1) chocolate and candy packaging. At present, many chocolate products in China are packaged in aluminum foil, and the market demand is increasing with the expansion of China's chocolate consumption market. There are two kinds of candy packaging, one is aluminum-plastic composite or aluminum paper composite packaging, and the other is aluminum-plated film or single plastic packaging; (2) convenience food, cooked food packaging. Such as instant noodles, local specialty foods, etc. With the development of the food business market, the demand for such packaging is increasing, and the development prospects are very optimistic; (3) packaging of dairy products. At present, the milk powder is basically made of aluminum-plastic composite packaging. The liquid milk products are mainly packaged in aluminum foil carton. The geographical difference in China is large, and the distribution of dairy products is unreasonable, which provides a broad market for aseptic packaging of aluminum foil. (4) A considerable part of tea, coffee and other products are made of aluminum-plastic composite packaging, which is also an important market for aluminum foil packaging.
