Epidemic at present, the packaging industry is facing what "opportunities" and "challenges"?

The Spring Festival is supposed to be a great time for family reunions, and enjoying a cosy get-together with family and friends will inevitably bring about an outbreak of large and small gatherings and get-togethers all over the country, which is definitely a great boon to the catering and retail industries. However, by the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, the catering industry, tourism and other tertiary industries suffered a major blow, a variety of catering industry-specific packaging, but also affected by the epidemic, the demand fell sharply.

At this stage, both packaging enterprises on the future trend of a "big test", but also reflects the ability to adapt to the "great time". With the turning point of the epidemic close to the control is also more stringent, a number of consecutive postponements issued by the notice of resumption of work, packaging companies are still not very clear about the full start time. However, the postponement of the resumption of work means sitting ducks. 2020's new coronavirus epidemic is definitely a severe test for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). But for the packaging industry, it is "opportunities" and "challenges" coexist.

For example, the convenience food packaging gap is growing. Although for a period of time, we can not go out, many communities also implement closed management, courier, takeaway can not enter, the people's life has become very inconvenient. Therefore, many residents go to the supermarket and vegetable market once, they will stock up a large amount of food materials. As a result, the sales of instant noodles, ham sausages, lunch meat and other food products have instead risen against the trend. Packaging demand for convenience foods will still show an upward trend. These packaging needs include: foamed boxes/bowls/cups, anti-scald paper-plastic cups, flexible packaging bags, and high-barrier materials.

We firmly believe that after the end of the epidemic, with the explosive growth in consumption, the packaging industry will also see a series of benefits. As long as the whole industry personnel together united and united, we will be able to overcome the epidemic and win the final victory!
