Summary and extracts
1 Synthèse du marché
1.1 Definition and scope of the study
Metal packagings refer to steel and aluminium packagings, such as cans or tins, which preserve foods, hygiene products, beverages, etc.
The metal packaging market is divided into several players: mineral and petrochemical producers (bauxite, soda, carbon), suppliers (steel, aluminium), packaging producers, end users (industry, trade, transport-storage). In this study we cover the latter three categories.
The global metal packaging industry is expanding in size and sales, amid the attractive features of metals in terms of durability, space efficiency, preservation, and recyclage. Nevertheless, metal packaging holds a fairly small share in overall packaging (12.2%), which implies that the material has great potential for expansion going forward. [all4pack] This development is most likely going to come from developing economies and Asia, where India for example is looking to increase usage of aluminium cans from 5% to some 25% in 2030.
Metal manufacturing revenue in the United Kingdom is relatively volatile. In value terms, the market has stayed more or less the same since 2012, with a dip in 2016 caused by a global crisis in the steel and aluminium industry. Beverage cans dominate production with around 62% of cans produced pertaining to the beverage category.
Recycling is a hot topic in the industry; both steel and aluminium, which makes up the majority of the market for metal packages, especially in cans, have very high recycling rates. In the UK, COVID-19 has proved to be monumental for recycling of aluminium cans in particular; households have embraced more stringent recylcing rates amid the fact that individuals are staying home more and thus consider recylcing aspects to a larger extent.
