Due to additional pressure applied by regulatory authorities, manufacturers involved in the current market landscape are increasingly leaning toward producing BPA free cans.

BPA Free Cans Market: Overview
- According to Transparency Market Research’s latest report on the global BPA free cans market for the forecast period of 2020-2026, the market is estimated to be driven by growing demand of fresh fruits and vegetables from health conscious consumers in the food industry. The global BPA free cans market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period.
- Many beverage packaging manufacturers prefer BPA free cans, for non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, owing to its non-toxic feature further lifting up the growth of BPA free cans market across the globe
Alternative Packaging and Coatings Solutions to Strengthen BPA Free Cans Market
- Food & beverages companies are actively looking for alternative solutions to BPA-based epoxy coatings. This is primarily driven by the escalating interest of consumers to avoid BPA containing food products.
- As a result, companies are bound to switch their packaging solution or offer BPA-free cans for their products, otherwise consumer transition will create a negative impact on their overall brand value and net sales of the company
- Some of the alternative coatings that could be used in place of epoxy coatings are polyester coatings and oleoresins. Polyester coatings can be used as an alternative to epoxy coatings or as an overlay on the epoxy coatings, which could reduce the leaching properties of BPA by almost 95 percent in food & beverages.
- The Sherwin-Williams Company, a leading American coatings manufacturer, has developed “valPur non-BPA epoxy coatings”, especially for food and beverage cans
Increase in Consumer Confidence to Streamline BPA free Cans Market
- It has been observed that consumer interest toward using BPA free cans products has increased substantially in the past few years due to widespread objections on the use of BPA in food contact packaging applications. Some of the countries have already banned exposure of BPA from baby bottles and other products.
- For instance, the U.S. FDA has revised its regulations to no longer offer for the use of BPA-based epoxy resins, as coatings in packaging for infant formula and BPA-based polycarbonate resins in baby bottles and sippy cups
- Increasing voluntary give up on BPA in food packaging application is also another major factor, which is creating the demand for BPA-free alternatives such as BPA free cans. This has led to the increase in consumer confidence to use BPA free cans and emerged as the major reason for food & beverages companies to switch to safer alternatives in order to retain and gain consumer belief in their products.

COVID–19 to Fillip Demand for BPA Free Cans
- During the global pandemic, the packaged food sector is shining out, as people are opting for more packaged food products such as ready-to-eat food and canned food, which has shown positive impact on the global BPA free cans market
- This is mainly as there is limited manhandling of products inside packets. Also, once purchased, the packets could be easily sanitized at home. In addition, a large population is under lockdown and consuming home cooked meals, thus the demand for sauces, dressings, and condiments has witnessed a rise. All these factors are likely to boost the short-term demand for cans, particularly, BPA free cans in the coming two to three quarters.
- However, the global uncertainty of COVID–19 has also impacted the production of BPA free cans to some extent. This is mainly due to ongoing challenges such as not enough workforce, inventory loses, and supply chain disruptions.
Moreover, disturbance of product managing, delivery network, and changing global economic conditions are also impacting the demand and supply of BPA free cans. End-use industries are, thus, resorting to regional BPA free can suppliers to meet their requirements.
