Market Dynamics:

Driver:

High demand for ready-to-drink beverages

Consumer behaviour has changed as a result of exponential population expansion, rising purchasing power, and changing lifestyles.

Restraint:

Rising favourability for PET bottles

The market is being constrained by manufacturers' growing preference for PET and glass bottles. Because PET bottles share some of the same qualities as metal cans, such as reusability, durability, light weight, and oxygen gas barrier features, the demand for PET bottles is growing among beverage makers. When compared to metal cans, PET bottles offer beverage makers a cheaper packaging option. Furthermore, the production of PET bottles uses a lot lesser power than the production of beverage cans. The aforementioned problems will hinder market expansion.

The primary issue for producers of metal cans is the switch to polyethylene terephthalate bottles, particularly for beverages. Although metal packaging is more expensive than alternatives like paper, glass, and plastic, PET-based cans are also slowly making their way into the market.

COVID-19 Impact
