Global Metal Cans for Food and Beverage Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Environment-related factors to come into play

One of the major aspects of using cans (aluminum and steel) is that they support the environment’s well-being. Not directly but inversely, as the extensive use of the canned items/products has caused a certain decline of plastics and related packaging products, especially the ones which are non-biodegradable or non-recyclable. Additionally, the cans stand out due to their unique characteristics, such as airtight lids/covers, their resistance to elements such as UV radiations, moisture, irregular handling, and other external elements. Which could tamper with the product’s inner contents.

Increased disposable income and health-related benefits

The rise in disposable income among populations primarily in urban settings has played a significant role in market growth. The popularity of can packaged foods and beverages which are ready to eat and ready to drink, consume have attracted a large part of the urbanized population. Additionally, the spreading awareness towards the constituents of food packaging materials has stirred a motion in the industry growth. As some packaging food materials or their constituents may be carcinogens in nature, to avoid that people are getting inclined towards the can packed food, beverages, and related products. Which is anticipated to give an eventual growth to the market.

Restraint

Environment problems that may arise due to excessive metal ore procurement

The market growth may get restricted due to excessive metal ore procurement. Metals such as iron, aluminum, iron ore, and other required metals are needed to produce metal cans which are procured from the ores, mines, etc. Because of the heavy usage of these materials, the ore extractions have increased, which is affecting the environment. Moreover, other alternatives such as paper, plastics, some bio-degradable packaging products have created side-by-side competition for the metal can industry. As their raw materials are easy to access and process, has made a drawback as compared to that of metal cans (because they’re produced from metals) therefore restricting the growth to some extent.

Impact of COVID 19 on the Global Metal Cans for Food and Beverage Market

The pandemic has affected the global market on a negative note. This has led to a downfall in various industries. The lockdowns have caused shut-downs of many manufacturing industries, leading to a halt in various other secondary productions. But as the markets and lockdowns are lifting off, the industries are re-gaining growth. Therefore, the government’s laws and particular regulations have motivated the metal can’s industry. Recently, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration, America) has moderated the labeling of nutritional contents of the products. This is expected to lead the prime supply chain in the market, giving it a considerable push in the forecast period.

Global Metal Cans for Food and Beverage Market Segmentation: By Material
