Food Cans Market – Moving Beyond Packaging with Custom Manufacturing Trends

Even with the cost-prohibitive nature of metal food cans and poor sustainability credentials of plastic food cans, seasoned analysts at Transparency Market Research (TMR) portend a steady growth of the overall food cans landscape at a CAGR of ~4% during 2019-2027. The ‘twofer’ attribution of food cans – reduced packaging waste and cost cutting opportunities – is highly likely to bolster their adoption in the food and beverage industry. An underway shift from BPA to BPS plastic cans will remain crucial for market players seeking a smooth transition by conforming to regulatory protocols to make it to distribution channels.

On the manufacturing side, the advent of custom manufacturing trends will resonate with end users looking at improving brand value. Besides organic growth strategies, production partnerships with end users will chart the course for where the food cans landscape is heading next.

Tinplate to Remain the Gold Standard

The traditional lead of metal food cans will remain intact, given the weighted trend of recyclability. That being said, the cost-efficiency of tinplate with near-close properties as aluminum will upkeep their status quo as the ‘material of the choice’, representing steady growth during the forecast period of 2019-2027.

However, the popularity of plastic cans is projected to boom, despite the groundswell and consumer backslash regarding their impacts on health. The production of plastic cans requires relatively low working capital, and with the ongoing shift from BPA to BPS, end users will back the transformation to save on their overhead expenditures.

Downsizing is the New Rightsizing in the Landscape

Canned foods are often linked to achieving consumption convenience, when it comes to addressing the demands of consumers leading hectic lives. Trends suggest that, small-sized food cans of less than 100 g are likely to catalyze market revenue, given their smooth transportation, low cost, and portion-control proposition, while driving sales through impulsive purchase behaviors.

With the evolving choices of consumers, the sales of large-sized food cans are growing at a high, albeit, steady pace, while that of small-sized food cans are on an exponential projected increase at a CAGR of ~6% during 2019-2027. The said trend specifically stands true in the developed markets of Europe, given the marked adoption of the ‘grab-to-eat’ culture and circular economy.

With four countries from Europe – Germany, Austria, Wales, and Switzerland – occupying the ‘top five-most plastic recycling countries’ space, market players concentrated in the region will benefit from the growing proclivity for plastic material, and offer a stout tailwind to the food cans market.

However, Asia Pacific, in general, and China, in particular, will remain a remunerative food cans market, with a large base of millennial population preferring canned food products over time-consuming recipes. In addition, China accounts for leading aluminum reserves and plastic production, which will further ensure the consistent supply of raw materials. During the forecast period, market players can expect Asia’s market to grow at a CAGR of ~5%.
