Key Market Drivers
- Versatile Applications: Crown closures are essential components in the packaging process, used across diverse industries such as food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and household goods. Their functionality and aesthetic appeal significantly contribute to product integrity and consumer satisfaction.
- Rising Demand in Food and Beverage Industry: The food and beverage industry, which includes carbonated drinks, bottled water, alcoholic beverages, ketchup, and mayonnaise, is a major driver of crown closures demand. The sector’s growth and increasing consumer preferences for packaged products boost the need for effective closure solutions.
- Sustainable Packaging Initiatives: Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on sustainable packaging by incorporating post-consumer resin (PCR) and other recyclable materials into crown closures. These eco-friendly initiatives attract environmentally conscious consumers and help companies meet sustainability targets.
- Technological Advancements: Innovations in crown closure design and production processes, such as the use of automation and advanced materials, enhance the functionality and recyclability of these products. This technological progress is expected to drive market growth.
- Strategic Marketing Activities: Key market players engage in partnerships, product maximization, investments, and acquisitions to expand their market presence and improve production capabilities. These activities are crucial for driving the sales of crown closures.
Beer Accounts for More than 70% of the Demand for Crown Closures
The growth of food and beverages market has been closely influencing the performance of crown closures market. According to FMI’s analysis, alcoholic beverages, particularly beer and wine, will remain the most prominent end use categories in crown closures market. Beer currently holds just-over 70% share in the global demand for crown closures, followed by carbonated soft drinks.
While consumption of crown closures is likely to be sustained by increasing beer production as well as consumption, it has been observed that emergence of superior packaging alternatives in the beverages sector is particularly translating into the falling demand for crown closures in the carbonated soft drinks category.
According to FMI’s analysis, rapidly growing preference for PET (polyethylene) bottles over glass bottles for packaging of carbonated soft drinks will continue to hold significant impact on the demand for crown closures in years to come.
Emerging Regional Markets to be on Forefront Owing to Increasing Uptake of Beer, Wine, & Other Alcoholic Drinks
Led by China, Asia Pacific is projected to remain the preeminent market for crown closures manufacturers. Within APAC that currently accounts for an approximate volume share of a third of the total consumption of crown closures, the ASEAN countries, followed by India, will also be among the prominent markets for crown closures over the coming years.
Shifting dietary preferences of urban consumers, considerably increasing consumption of alcoholic beverages by younger demographics, and increasing spending power strongly backed by changing priorities will continue to collectively uplift the overall consumption of spirits, particularly beer and wine, in developing Asian countries. This according to the report will sustain the sales of crown closures in the near future.
The constantly improving export scenario of beer and soft drinks in China is especially offering a strong impetus to the country’s and in turn APAC’s crown closures market, as per FMI’s findings. Moreover, strengthening foothold of European and American beverage brands within Asian markets will also play a vital role in generating steady demand for crown closures.
Latin America is also cited as an attractive market for crown closures owing to the increased production and consumption of beer and sparkling wine within the region.
However, rapid emergence of ring pull caps as an excellent alternative for crown closures is likely to affect the market growth in North American region. Furthermore, as the US-based beverage manufacturers are already looking forward to switching to recyclable plastics (cans and bottles) for beverage packaging, demand for crown closures is highly likely to be hampered within the region. The report opines that the falling beer production rate in North American markets will remain the key deterrent influencing crown closure sales.
