Global aluminum can sales rose steadily due to sustainability efforts and the growing demand for eco-friendly packaging. Increased beverage consumption, especially in emerging markets, and a shift from plastic to recyclable aluminum fueled the growth. The beverage industry, particularly canned water and ready-to-drink products, played a significant role in this market expansion.

NEWARK, Del, Feb. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global aluminum cans market is on track for remarkable expansion, with projections indicating a growth from USD 61.1 billion in 2024 to USD 63.2 billion by 2025, and a substantial surge to USD 94.5 billion by 2035. The market is set to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2035.

The food and beverage industry is leading the charge in driving the adoption of aluminum cans, drawn to their protective nature, sustainability benefits, and convenience for consumers. This trend is expected to continue as both manufacturers and consumers recognize the many advantages of aluminum packaging.

Notably, aluminum is the most recyclable material globally, boasting an impressive near 100% recyclability rate. The material retains its integrity through multiple recycling cycles, making it one of the most sustainable packaging options. The environmental benefits of aluminum are profound: recycling aluminum conserves energy, reduces millions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions, and decreases the demand for transportation fuel.

Additionally, manufacturing aluminum cans from recycled materials requires significantly less energy compared to producing new cans, further propelling the shift towards sustainable packaging solutions.

Aluminum cans stand apart in the recycling world due to their closed-loop recycling process, where they can be repeatedly recycled to create fresh cans. This stands in stark contrast to glass and plastic, which often cannot be recycled as efficiently or as frequently.

This infinite recyclability, combined with aluminum's premium qualities, has positioned the material as a key enabler of brand growth and expansion within the food and beverage industry. New brand launches and market expansions are increasingly leveraging aluminum packaging to tap into untapped markets.

Eco-Conscious Choices and Health Trends Propel Aluminum Cans to the Forefront of Beverage Packaging

The growing consumer preference for canned beverages is driving an increased demand for aluminum cans. Canned drinks offer convenience, portability, and longer shelf life, which align with modern consumer lifestyles. As health-conscious and eco-aware choices rise, aluminum's recyclability also boosts its appeal, making it the packaging material of choice. This shift has led to expanded production and innovation in aluminum can designs, positioning the material as key to meeting the rising demand in the beverage sector.

"The aluminum cans market continues to grow, driven by sustainability trends and increased demand for recyclable packaging. Brands are investing in eco-friendly solutions, boosting market potential." Says a Lead Consultant Ismail Sutaria in Packaging at Future Market Insights (FMI).

How does Increasing Beverage Consumption Favor the Aluminum Cans Market Growth?

As per FMI, the beverage industry is expected to witness firm growth, especially in high growth countries such as Brazil, India, and China. This is anticipated to offer lucrative growth opportunities for aluminum cans market players.

Several independent surveys were conducted to understand consumer preference when it comes to beverage packaging. More than 60% of the respondents preferred a chilled can over a plastic bottle, as it felt more refreshing.

Additionally, more than 80% of the respondents perceived aluminum cans as convenient and “easy to grab” while on their way out. Consequently, increasing demand for smaller pack sizes in beverage industry is expected to create growth opportunities for aluminum cans manufacturers over the forecast period.

These aluminum cans are commonly used as beverage cans, attributable to their light weight and ability to withstand internal pressure generated by carbon-di-oxide. Growing consumption of alcohol is expected to boost the demand for beverage packaging, especially aluminum cans.

High consumption of flavored alcoholic beverages, wines, soft drinks, and energy drinks are expected to bolster the sales of aluminum cans.

How do Environmental and Sustainability Concerns in Packaging Increase the Sales of Drink Cans?

Cans are one of the highly recycled packaging formats across the globe due to which the demand for eco-friendly packaging has increased. Cans made from aluminum are 100% recyclable, and maintain the quality of the metal.

Moreover, recycling aluminum cans is not a difficult task, and can be easily accomplished once the interior is cleaned. The entire process takes about 60 days, and the can becomes ready for use. Furthermore, unlike plastic bottles, aluminum cans are environment friendly, as maximum of it goes into recycling.

Consumer aversion to plastics has resulted in decreased sales of single-use plastic containers and paper-based cartons have a plastic coating, which makes them difficult to recycle.

Consumers are also concerned about their environmental footprint, thus preferring aluminum cans with high recyclability. On the back of this, sales of aluminum cans are expected to increase over the next decade.
