As China's economic development and improve the consumer level, people's consumption patterns increasingly diversified leisure. In this era of rapid consumption, fast and convenient snack foods people seems to have become the new darling of daily food consumption. With the gradual growth of the main force of 80,90 for the consumer, snack foods also conform to this development, the rapid growth of total consumption up, which also led to the development of plastic packaging industry.
    From the current pattern of snack food products, China's snack foods can be divided into eight categories, namely, puffed cereals, fried nuts, fried potatoes, fried cereal, non-fried nuts, confectionery class, meat fish, dried fruits and vegetables. In addition to meat, poultry and fish which require cooking and packaging, other types of snack foods are BOPP, BOPET, CPP and aluminized composite. Its main inner layer having a heat-sealing effect for the CPP, PE film; the middle layer barrier effect was better aluminized, etc., the outer layer of the printed better-BOPP, BOPET and so on.
    2014 BOPP, BOPET, CPP price trend, maintain Yindie trend. Up to now, CPP composite film the highest price, the mainstream offer remained at 13,300 yuan / ton; BOPP film thickness mainstream offer in 12,200 yuan / ton; BOPET film mainstream offer in 8400 yuan / ton. BOPET trading range in which larger and start maintaining a large decline in the second half of the space; BOPP and CPP remains relatively stable, but it also reflects the market's lack of seasonal support, maintain its prices Yindie trend. In fact, since the second half of 2010 year downhill trend in the plastic packaging market for film plant, the serious homogenization of competition and contradiction of supply exceeding demand in the various types of film industry is more prominent problem, in terms of packaging for snack foods market face greater adjustment.
    As a kind of snack food consumption beyond the necessities of life in China is still in the development stage, there also exist many problems the development process of China's market leisure. First, China's development of smaller snack foods, snack food sales only total social retail sales of 21 trillion yuan of 2.57%; secondly, many snack food companies, showing small and scattered situation; industry concentration is low. Production and operation of highly fragmented, the top ten companies account for about 30% of market concentration; and third, consumer product safety, health, lack of trust.
    Although the snack food industry in a more difficult stage of development, but also in the plastic packaging industry overcapacity fittest stage, the situation is not optimistic, but from another perspective, China's snack food has not yet reached its peak, or will develop late and packaging to bring a major breakthrough.
    Our country is a large agricultural country, and is closely linked with the agricultural resources in the production of snack foods. Different regions have very different agricultural resources, high industrial concentration, thereby forming a number of unique advantages in resources have snack foods category, leading the development trend of Chinese snack foods. Therefore, the future of the snack food industry will form a large number of excellent snack food companies.


    In recent years, the total amount of food consumption and leisure are double-digit growth every year, higher than the food industry average growth rate of two percent or so. Data show that at present, China's annual per capita consumption of snack foods about 30 grams, the equivalent of only 3200 grams per capita consumption in developed countries of 9.3 ‰, which shows that our convenience snack food has broad room for growth.
