MARKET ANALYSIS

Metal packaging has many advantages, such as product protection, durability, and sustainability . Metal has good barrier properties to light, gases, and odors and withstands high temperatures. Metal is strong and protects the inside contents from damage. Aluminum and steel are considerably more durable than other packaging materials. Metal is made to last and to be reused multiple times. Some metal packaging products are bottles, cans, caps and closures, drums, and tubes. Metal is highly used in food packaging. Nowadays, food and beverage cans make up most of the metal packaging. Metal packaging products also find application in end-use industries such as personal care, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, paints & coatings, and automotive. The major factors driving the growth of the global metal packaging market are the increasing demand for canned foods and beverages and the growing personal care and cosmetics industry. Changing consumer preferences contribute to the increased demand for on-the-go and ready-to-eat options such as canned food & beverages and packaged food products. In the region, the personal care and cosmetics industry is constantly innovating and expanding by offering a distinct range of cosmetics and specialized products for different skin types to cater to a wide range of consumer preferences. With this, the demand for metal packaging products is increasing. Further, the increasing use of recycled metals and post-consumer recycled materials is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for market growth.

GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

Canned foods have a long shelf life, attributed to heat and vacuum sealing during the canning process. Changing consumer preferences increase demand for on-the-go and ready-to-eat options such as packaged food products. The increasing demand for clean-label, low-calorie, and low-carb foods, along with manufacturers' continuous launch of innovative products, have spurred the sales of canned food products. Further, the demand for canned products, such as canned soups and stews, frozen soup, canned seafood soup and broths, and frozen fruits and vegetables, has increased in MENA. Moreover, metal packaging is increasingly used for personal care and cosmetic products due to its aesthetic appeal, durability, and protection against moisture and contaminants. Metal tubes, tins, and aerosol cans are common metal packaging applications. Metal packaging offers exceptional barrier protection against moisture, light, and air for cosmetic formulations. This airtight and light-resistant protection ensures that the products remain fresh, prevent degradation of active ingredients, and maintain original consistency and color. However, metal packaging faces intense competition from alternative packaging materials, particularly glass and plastics. Plastics offer low cost, lightweight, and great design flexibility, while glass offers premium aesthetic appeal. This competition prompts metal packaging manufacturers to innovate and differentiate their products. The limited awareness of the advantages of beverage metal packaging in undeveloped countries and the high cost of raw materials such as steel and aluminum restrict customers from adopting these materials.
