Beverage Can Global Market Report 2024

The beverage can market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $32.32 billion in 2023 to $34.12 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. During the historical period, growth can be attributed to several factors. These include a shift in consumer packaging preferences from glass to cans due to factors such as convenience and portability. Additionally, there was a notable increase in sustainability and recycling initiatives within the industry, aligning with growing environmental awareness. Brands differentiated themselves more distinctly, employing diverse marketing strategies to cater to evolving consumer demands. Furthermore, the adoption of cans over other materials was also driven by cost efficiencies in production processes.

The beverage can market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.93 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period is linked to several key factors. Firstly, an upsurge in health and wellness trends is expected to drive demand for beverage cans. Additionally, the expansion of e-commerce platforms will likely facilitate wider market reach and accessibility. The emergence of non-alcoholic beverages as a significant market segment is poised to contribute to this growth trajectory. Moreover, advancements in materials and manufacturing processes are expected to introduce innovative solutions to the market, further boosting growth prospects.

The anticipated surge in beverage consumption is poised to drive substantial growth within the beverage can market. These cans, predominantly made of aluminum, serve as an efficient packaging solution for various non-water liquids, particularly beer. Renowned for their recyclability and lightweight nature, these containers offer stackability and streamlined freight and storage capabilities. With the escalating beverage consumption, the demand for beverage cans is expected to soar, significantly bolstering market expansion. For example, according to the World Population Review's Soda Consumption by Country 2023 report, Argentina leads the world in soda consumption, averaging about 155 liters per person annually, followed closely by the United States with an average of 154 liters per resident. This consumption trend is instrumental in propelling the growth of the beverage can market.

The upsurge in beer consumption is anticipated to be a driving force behind the expansion of the beverage can market. Given its use for storing beverages containing ethyl alcohol, particularly beer, beverage cans offer durability, portability, and superior preservation of beer freshness. Notably, as per the Global Beer Consumption Report for 2021 shared by Kirin Holdings Company Limited in December 2022, worldwide beer consumption surged by 4.0% to approximately 185.60 million kiloliters in 2021. This escalating beer consumption trend is a significant factor fueling the growth of the beverage can market.

Innovation emerges as a prominent trend shaping the landscape of the beverage can market. Key market players are channeling their efforts into crafting inventive products to solidify their market standing. An illustration of this is the January 2023 launch by Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMP) of a 19.2oz beverage can tailored for beverage brand customers. This innovative offering fills a niche between the conventional 16 oz and 24 oz sizes, catering to the rising demand in the single-serve channel, enabling diversification into water, hard seltzer, beer, and cider.

Strategic partnerships and collaborations are pivotal strategies adopted by major companies in the beverage can market to expand their presence and gain a competitive edge. These alliances, geared towards combining strengths, mitigating risks, and enhancing competitiveness, have significant implications. An exemplary case is the partnership between Reliance Consumer Products Ltd. and Ceylon Beverage International in April 2023. The collaboration focuses on co-packing cans for the Campa soft drinks portfolio in India, potentially granting distribution rights for Ceylon Beverage's juices and energy drinks in India, bolstering market share. Additionally, Ceylon Beverage might establish a packaging facility in India to extend the Campa brand nationally, currently importing cans from its Sri Lankan factory.
