Glass bottle packaging has experienced long-term development in China. But as an industry insider, from the perspective of the distribution of glass bottle enterprises, there are still many unreasonable factors. Of course, the distribution of glass bottle manufacturers and raw materials soda ash, quartz and fuel coal dependence is high, to choose these minerals relatively concentrated place. However, only from the raw materials to consider the establishment of factories, we think that this has not met the needs of the current market development.
At present, the domestic glass bottle enterprises are mainly concentrated in Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu and Henan. It is home to nearly 70 percent of domestic glass bottle enterprises, large and small. However, no matter from the domestic demand of glass bottles or glass bottles foreign trade market, it is unreasonable in the spatial layout. From the domestic market, cosmetics manufacturers are concentrated in the southeast coastal areas of Guangdong and Zhejiang, but cosmetics glass bottle manufacturers are less distributed in these places. Liquor enterprises are concentrated in Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, but a large number of glass bottle manufacturers are concentrated in the north. Manufacturers in these places need to spend a lot of transportation costs to purchase glass bottles, and the procurement process is also very inconvenient. From the perspective of foreign trade, the closer the factory is to the major ports in the eastern region, the more beneficial it will be to transport and other links.
