Growing Sustainable Packaging Demand Fueling Market Growth

Coherent Market Insights’ latest metal packaging market analysis outlines major factors spurring the industry’s growth. One such prominent growth driver is the growing demand for sustainable packaging.

Consumers in the contemporary world are showing a strong preference for recyclable and eco-friendly packaging solutions. This is expected to drive demand for metal packaging products during the forecast period.

Governments across the world are implementing stringent regulations to reduce plastic packaging usage as well as encourage the use of recyclable and sustainable materials in packaging. This is also supporting the growth of the metal packaging market.

Metal packaging offers high strength, recyclability, and excellent barrier properties. As a result, it is widely used for storing as well as transporting a range of products across various industries, including food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and others.

High Costs and Alternative Packaging Materials Limiting Growth

The prospective metal packaging market outlook appears optimistic. However, high cost of metal packaging and rising adoption of alternative packaging materials might limit market growth to some extent during the assessment period.

Metal containers and closers are more expensive due to usage of materials like aluminium and steel, as well as energy-intensive processes required for their production. This may limit their adoption among cost-sensitive industries, thereby slowing down metal packaging market growth.

In addition, some end-use industries opt for plastic and flexible packaging solutions because they are lighter and more economical. This might limit overall metal packaging market demand in the coming years.
