As a core equipment in the plastic packaging and flexible packaging industry, the development prospects of bag making machines are closely related to environmental policies, consumer trends, and technological innovation. The following is an analysis of the current situation and future prospects of the bag making machine industry:

1、 Market demand driving factors

The packaging industry continues to grow

The global plastic packaging market is expected to exceed $450 billion by 2026 (CAGR of approximately 4%), with stable demand in areas such as food, e-commerce, and healthcare.

China remains the largest producer, while Southeast Asia (Vietnam, India) has become an emerging growth point due to the shift of manufacturing industries.

Environmental regulations are forcing an upgrade

The plastic restriction order (such as China's "14th Five Year Plan" for plastic pollution control) has driven the demand for biodegradable materials (PLA, PBAT) bag making machines.

The EU SUP ban requires the replacement of disposable plastics, leading to an increase in demand for bio based bags and paper plastic composite bag equipment.

E-commerce and fast food industry outbreak

The surge in demand for express bags and takeaway self standing bags has driven the market for high-speed bag making machines (200-300 bags/minute) and customized printing equipment.
