The outlook for metal cans

This study by Omega Research Associates and Packaging Strategies covers the metal cans segment of the rigid packaging industry, which is generally divided into three categories based on the contents of the container – beverages, food, and general line or non-food items. The largest of these categories, cans for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, represents nearly 75% of all metal can shipments. The worldwide value of consumer packaging was roughly €300 billion in 2010 with growth expected to average 3% annually through 2015. Metal cans represented 15% of that.
The study includes i.a. market data on can-making materials and manufacturing and a review of end-user markets.
