Global closures market for food and beverages

According to a new Euromonitor report, the volume of global retail closures reached 1.4 trillion units in 2015, marking 2% growth from 2014, driven by a rise in consumption in all regions.
Plastic screw closures continue to be the most popular type for food and beverages. While for beverages this growth comes mainly from the rise of PET bottles and the pursuit of lighter overall packaging, in packaged food it is driven by resealable and on-the-go trends. Although plastic screw closures and peel-off foil continue to be on the rise, consumers are increasingly seeking more functional closures such as push-pull, flip-tops in soft drinks and zip/press closures notable in dairy and confectionery.
