PET concept of carbonated drinks and bottled water

Carbonated drinks are one of the traditional and most important markets for PET bottles.
According to the complete 1998 statistics, there were 33 Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola companies that produced foreign brands of carbonated beverages that year and produced 2,861,621 tons of beverages. According to product packaging:
Polyester bottle production in 1998 was 1,527,434 tons, an increase of 18.24% over the same period in 1997, accounting for 56.38% of foreign brand output;
The production capacity of cans in 1998 was 841,072 tons, an increase of 3.20% over the same period in 1997, accounting for 31.05% of the foreign brand output;
The glass bottle production in 1998 was 208,958 tons, an increase of 8.38% over the same period in 1997. Accounted for 7.71% of foreign brand output;
In 1998, the current production capacity was 13,1500 tons, an increase of 5.6% over the same period of 1997, accounting for 4.86% of the foreign brand output.
The statistics for 1995 are as follows:
In 1995, there were 28 enterprises producing foreign brands of carbonated beverages in China, producing a total of 161,2229.3 tons of beverages;
Polyester bottled beverage was 717,245 tons, an increase of 27.6% over the previous year, accounting for 48.9% of the total output;
Cans of beverages were 500354.7 tons, an increase of 47.5% over the previous year, accounting for 34.2% of the total output;
The glass bottle beverage was 160232.9 tons, an increase of 4.9% over the previous year, accounting for 10.9% of the total production; + The current adjustment beverage was 852.26.6 tons, an increase of 42.1% over the previous year, accounting for the total output. 5.9%;
In other packaging, Tetra Pak drinks accounted for 0.1% of the total output.
It is not difficult to see that PET bottles already account for most of the packaging of Coca-Cola and Pepsi carbonated beverages. And its development momentum is the strongest.
The various domestic brands of carbonated drinks produced in China are also similar to the situation. The use of PET bottles is even higher.
The development of the two Coke giants in China is extremely rapid, with an average of doubling their output every three years. Although in recent years, due to a variety of reasons, such as its large base, the growth rate has been relatively reduced, but the absolute number of its growth is still quite alarming.
At present, there are basically two bottling factories in China's major consumer cities, and the construction contracts signed between Coca-Cola and the Chinese government have also been completed. There is light industry news that after China's accession to the WTO, it will be possible to cancel restrictions on the construction of the two Coca-Cola companies and the growth of total production.
At present, Coca-Cola and Pepsi's bottling plants in China are using PET bottles purchased from professional bottle manufacturers. As two Coca-Cola's requirements for PET bottles are very strict, China's suppliers for bottles are currently Zhuhai Zhongfu and Shanghai Zijiang. Both companies have dozens of HUCKY and SIDEL two-step machines, including the H USKY96 cavity preformer and the SIDEL SBO24 high-speed blower. Zhongfu's bottle-making factory is also spread all over the country, and almost all of the major Coke factories have Chinese-rich bottle-making plants nearby.
These bottling plants were synchronized with the Coke filling plant. In recent years, Zijiang has not been satisfied with the market in Shanghai. It has moved north to the west and has established new factories in Tianjin, Hangzhou and Henan. It is China's most powerful professional PET bottle production plant next to Zhongfu. The two companies included almost all of Coca-Cola and Pepsi's product packaging, advanced technical equipment and technical support so that they could meet the continuous production of two new Coke bottles of PET.
Bottled water is the fastest growing type of beverage in China in recent years. It is also another major user of PET bottles, and has even surpassed carbonated beverages to become the largest product category in China using PET bottles. In Hangzhou Wahaha alone, the output reached 930,150 tons in 1998, and Guangdong today is 321,455 tons.
In addition, pure water has risen rapidly in China due to its small impact on water sources, and it has now outperformed mineral water in production. In addition, after several rounds of development in the bottled water market in China in recent years, several major bottled water production bases have been formed with Hangzhou Wahaha as the leader. In 1998, the total pure water production of the four Wahaha, Robust, Zhengguang, Meilin and Yibao companies reached a total of 1.08 million tons. One Wahaha pure water production reached 540,000 tons. Zhengguang and pure water production is 200,000 tons.
In 1998, more than 100,000 tons purified water company:
Company name production (tons)
Hangzhou Wahaha Group Corporation 543625
Guangdong Today Group Co., Ltd. 200802
Shanghai Meilin Zhengguanghe (Group) Co., Ltd. 199526
Shenzhen Yibao Food & Beverage Co., Ltd. 134572
Total 1078525
PET bottle is the most important packaging form of bottled water, and most of the water drinks are packaged in PET bottles. For the sake of process requirements, the bottled water plant mainly purchases PET production equipment to produce PET bottles. The equipment is mainly based on the one-step method. These devices are mainly from Japanese Nissei and Aokigu. With the continuous expansion of the strength and output of bottled water production enterprises, since 1997, Italy's SIPA's high-speed one-step equipment has entered China, and has come from behind. Both Wahaha and Dingxin Group have purchased large quantities of the company’s equipment. In addition, Robust also purchased H USKY and SIDEL's two-step device in recent years. This shows that the growing demand of Chinese bottled water producers for high-speed PET production models is booming.
In short, the carbonated beverage and bottled water market will continue to develop steadily in the next few years, and will still be the market with the largest and most demanding PET bottles.
