Flourishing Growth of Packaging Industry to Provide Fillip to Caps and Closures Market

With the booming packaging industry worldwide, the global market for caps and closures is expected to tread along a phenomenal growth trajectory. Packaging helps in extending the shelf life of food and beverages and also in retaining their flavor and texture for a longer duration. "The rising health and hygiene consciousness among the populace in countries such as Brazil, China, and India are causing a shift in preference from unpackaged to packaged food items. This is working in favor of the packaging industry, thus triggering the demand for caps and closures," says a TMR analyst.

The soaring demand for plastic caps and closures in the beverages sector is allowing the overall market to gain impetus. The spiraling use of PET-based disposable bottles is translating into the greater sales of plastic caps and closures.

Burgeoning Adoption of Flexible Packaging to Hamper Growth Prospects

The stiff competition from the flexible packaging industry is jeopardizing the presence of caps and closures. Flexible packaging systems such as pouches are making inroads into the shares of containers using caps and closures, especially in the food and beverage industry. In addition to this, flexible packaging is lighter in weight due to materials such as aluminum, paper, PVC, and polypropylene used for manufacturing it. This is allowing it to emerge as a strong substitute for caps and closures.

Due to the dynamic nature of the packaging industry, manufacturers are constantly under the pressure of changing designs of their offerings. The recent trend of lightweight packaging is prompting them to manufacture lightweight and cost-effective caps and closures. However, lightweight caps are highly susceptible to cracking and contamination. This, in turn, is impeding the upward climb of the market.
