  • Food consumption has been witnessing high growth. This has led to a demand for packaged food products with longer shelf life and sterility. Various companies in Europe around manufacturing packages, which help in achieving these objectives so that manufacturers of food products can transport and sell their products to the end-customers. Also, the pharmaceuticals industry is anticipated to generate demand for tamper-evident caps and closures, as they offer child-resistant and contamination-free packaging.
  • Although the majority of caps and closures demand in unit terms is for low-cost commodity types such as plastic screw caps and metal crowns, market value growth will be driven by the growing use of more sophisticated closure products in packaging for pharmaceuticals and beauty care products. While gains in the developing countries will generally be faster than those in developed markets, growth opportunities will also exist in the large West European markets.
  • Some of the key trends in the beverage sector include shifting to larger pack sizes in some categories, such as beer and carbonates, impacting the size and type of closure used. Meanwhile, in the still drinks, packaged water, and sports drinks categories, where on-the-go consumption is a primary driver of demand, smaller individual pack sizes are becoming more common.

The revenue generated from the manufacturing of food products in the United Kingdom amounted to USD 106.58 billion in 2018, and it is expected to reach USD 117.72 billion by 2024.
  • Some end users already start moving towards lighter weight closures, which contribute to meeting beverage companies' environmental targets and saving material and energy costs.
