The output value of domestic inkjet printers exceeds tens of billions but lacks innovation

For many years, my country's inkjet printer industry has experienced a development process from scratch, from foreign brands to domestic brands. Today, China is the world's second largest demand for packaging inkjet printers, with an annual industrial output value of more than 1.2 trillion yuan. , The demand for inkjet printers is among the top in the world. Among the 42 industrial industries in the national economy, the total industrial output value of small-character inkjet printers has risen from the bottom 2nd in the 1980s to 14th, becoming a pivotal industry in the national economy.

　　 In terms of total volume, my country has become a major packaging country in the world, but there is a big gap between it and developed countries in terms of variety, quality, new product research and development capabilities, and economic benefits. The medium and high-end packaging basic materials and packaging machinery (inkjet printers, laser printers, etc.), which represent the forefront of packaging technology, are still monopolized by developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan. The domestic packaging industry mainly has small-scale enterprises, low-level repetitive construction, and low industrial concentration; there are few types of packaging products, low quality, and low technical content; the product structure is unreasonable, and the main high-end packaging equipment and raw and auxiliary materials are heavily dependent on imports; packaging science The investment in technology research and development is low, and the innovation ability is insufficient; the recycling rate of packaging waste is low.

　　 In the survey, we pointed out that through the course of my country’s packaging industry, it is not difficult to find that state-owned enterprises have gained economic benefits through technological transformation, technology introduction, new product development, design and manufacturing. , That is, technological innovation has been realized. However, many inkjet printer manufacturers have not yet found a way to achieve innovation. Even companies that have achieved technological innovation lack the ability to continue to innovate. Once the technological innovation is imitated by competitors, they will fall into a predicament again. Therefore, timely formation of technological innovation capabilities and rapid improvement of technological innovation mechanisms are the key to promoting the development of my country's packaging industry in the coming decades and even longer historical periods.
