Market Overview:
The global metal cans market size reached US$ 64.8 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 75.7 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.5% during 2023-2028.
Metal cans are packaging containers manufactured using materials such as steel, aluminum, and tin. Generally sealed with lids that can be lifted or replaced, they are used for storing or transporting soups, fruits, vegetables, beverages, pet food, paints, and varnishes. Metal cans exhibit strength and robustness and allow handling, filling, processing, storage, and distribution without damage. They are also cost-effective, corrosion resistant, do not affect the color and flavor of the products, and are recyclable. Other attributes of the product include durability, compactness, toughness, malleability, easy portability, and pressure resistance. As a result, metal cans find extensive applications across the pharmaceuticals, personal care, and food and beverage (F&B) industries.

Metal Cans Market Trends:
The widespread product adoption in the F&B industry as a packaging solution for storing various products, including iced teas, energy drinks, alcoholic beverages, sodas, and carbonated soft drinks, is primarily driving the market growth. Additionally, the increasing demand for eco-friendly cans due to the rising environmental consciousness is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Metal cans are highly recyclable compared to other materials, such as plastic or glass, and can be reused and recycled without any loss in their performance. Apart from this, leading players are focusing on introducing customized designs for brands to expand their consumer base and promote brand awareness, which is providing an impetus to the market growth. In line with this, innovations in forming cans and controlling metal deposition onto packaging materials that assist in material efficiency and unique antimicrobial and microwave susceptor properties are positively influencing the market growth. Other factors, including the increasing product demand for packaging industrial products, the introduction of easy open-lid cans, and the growing demand for canned food due to hectic schedules and the busy lifestyles of the masses, are supporting the market growth.
