DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "$2.99 Billion Plastic Caps & Closures Market, 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global plastic caps & closures market was valued at USD 2,157.7 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach a value of USD 2,993.8 billion by 2024 at a CAGR of 5.62% over the forecast period (2019-2024).
- Plastic caps & closures serve a stretch of industries segment such as food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, household goods, cosmetic products, etc. Caps & closures are the final components of packaging and are responsible for maintaining the integrity of the product packing.
- Caps & closures use PET, PP, and PE as the primary raw materials for manufacturing. Industries rely heavily on the plastic caps & closures as they provide a cost-effective sealing solution. The demand for packaged food and pharmaceutical drugs has been increasing at a healthy rate and as an impact of this, the caps & closures market is also expected to record an increase in demand in the forecast period.
- However, this industry is comprehensively dependent on the suppliers of raw materials for manufacturing. PET and PE, which are used as raw materials, have significantly fluctuating costs in the market. As the cost of production is dependent on this raw material, manufacturers find it difficult to maintain constant output.
Key Market Trends
Polyethylene Terephthalate to Account for a Significant Demand
- Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is commonly used in food packaging due to its strong barrier properties against water vapor, dilute acids, gases, oils, and alcohols. PET is also shatter-resistant, slightly flexible and easy to recycle. Owing to several companies investing heavily in R&D to come up with unique and cost-effective products, the market is witnessing a large number of innovations. Dow Industries has come up with a new range of PET resins portfolio for manufacturing of caps & closures.
- Moreover, with the advent of plastic PET bottles for beer packaging, plastic is gaining acceptance in alcohol and beer packaging as well. Breweries in Britain, Australia, and Switzerland have been marketing beer in PET bottles. This is due to the use of various barrier systems such as silicon oxides combined with PET, that provides better potential for stronger penetration of this massive market.
- PET bottles are one of the major packaging material used globally. According to PlasticsEurope, Europe shows a significant increase in demand for plastic over the years for PET bottles as PET is a preferred choice of increasing demand for plastic converters.
North America to Occupy Major Share
- The food industry is one of the major contributors to the caps and closures market in the region. Majority of the manufactured food products are packaged in PET containers, which are covered with metal lids and other plastic enclosures, to protect them from contamination.
- Food products stored in bottles are being protected through various kinds of airtight plastic closures. Metal caps or closures are also used for the storage of food products, such as grains, typically stored in glass containers. The United States in the second largest food market across the globe and its expected to account for a considerably high share of the caps & closures market catering to in food industry end-user segment.
- In the United States and Canada, retail shelf packaging is growing popular, owing to the changing lifestyles of the people. This faster pace of lifestyle is expected to further fuel the growth of sales through retail channels.
- This trend is further bolstered by the growing millennial population in the workforce. Millennial population in the United States is found to work across flexible work hours, which further bolsters the demand for on-the-go foods, which is expected to drive the market for caps and closure (owing to increase in packaged food).
Competitive Landscape
Major players in the market include Silgan Holdings Inc., Amcor Ltd, Crown Holdings Inc., Aptar Group Inc., Berry Global, Inc. The market is in between consolidated and fragmented because it has many players and there are no major players driving the market.
- February 2019- Aptar launched a dispensing closure made of post-consumer recycled resin. It's been incorporated in Europe using 50% of recycled PC, confirming a leading position in the global transition to a circular economy and a sustainable future.
- February 2018 - In collaboration with Yves Rocher, Aptar Beauty + Home developed a customized snap top closure assembled with the SimpliSqueeze silicone valve. The valve allows clean dispensing and prevents the formula from spilling and dripping. It enables the user to squeeze the bottle simply, and the dispensing closure delivers just the right amount of shower gel. Releasing the pressure on the bottle ensures a clean product cut-off and no product gets wasted. Additionally, the temperature resistance of the silicone valve guarantees superior dispensing control, even in the shower, where the temperature varies.
