The Outlook for Metal Cans 2014 Edition is now available. The worldwide value of consumer packaging was roughly $395 billion in 2010 with growth expected to average 3% annually through 2015. Metal cans represented 15% of that value in 2010, or nearly $60 billion.
This study 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 nonalcoholic beverages, represents nearly 75% of all metal can shipments.
Included in this study:
- a history of the can and technical developments over the years
- market data on canmaking materials and manufacturing
- profiles of metal can producers in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia
- a review of end-use markets
- recycling and the environment, and
- an industry outlook and business opportunities.
