The metal packaging industry has experienced significant growth in recent years, both globally and in Europe, driven by increased demand in the food, beverage, cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors. Metal packaging, due to its properties of strength, recyclability and ability to protect products, is considered one of the most sustainable packaging solutions. Globally, the market value is set to increase from $159.75 billion in 2025 to $190.10 billion in 2030, showing an increase of about $30 billion in five years. This figure reflects a trend toward increasingly widespread use of metal packaging in strategic industrial sectors.

The metal packaging market consists mainly of two product categories: lightweight packaging and metal closures. Lightweight packaging includes steel and aluminum cans, jars, boxes, and drums, which are mainly used in the beverage, food, and chemical industries. Metal closures include crown caps, aluminum capsules and container covers, which are essential elements to ensure product preservation and protection during transport.
In Italy, the turnover of companies active in the manufacture of light metal packaging (ATECO 25.92) increased from 2.21 billion euros in 2018 to a forecast of 3.82 billion euros in 2024, driven by the expansion of the canned food and beverage sector, as well as exports. At the same time, the total turnover of products related to metal packaging, monitored through Prodcom, shows a more gradual trend, rising from 1.67 billion euros in 2018 to 2.23 billion euros in 2023.
Overall, the metal packaging market looks set for continued growth due to its sustainability and versatility. Europe and Italy, in particular, are playing a central role by adopting policies that incentivize the use of recyclable materials, making this sector an object of great interest for strategic analysis and future industrial policies.
