Market Dynamics

Driver

Increasing Launch of New Bottle Caps

In the beverage packaging sector, caps are widely used since they are essential for maintaining the freshness, flavor, and texture of beverages. To extend the shelf life of beverages, there has been an increasing trend in recent years to use packaging options, including cartons and pouches. Additionally, the need for caps in the beverage industry is driven by the global presence of some major beverage firms, such as Anheuser-Busch Firms LLC, Coca-Cola Company, and PepsiCo, which in turn boosts market growth. Many who lead busy lives depend on bottled beverages. Effective packaging options, such as bottle caps, are therefore in greater demand since they facilitate simple handling and are spill-proof.

Bottle tops contribute to the preservation of freshness and safety by preventing external contamination. Whether they are printed with trademarks or have unique designs, bottle caps are also utilized as a marketing tool for the company. Bottle caps are in huge demand by the beverage, cosmetic, and food industries for compatible packaging solutions. The key players operating in the market are focused on innovating and launching new products, which is expected to drive the growth of the global bottle caps market over the forecast period.

In March 2024, Heinz company, a food and beverages manufacturing company, revealed the launch of the plastic ketchup bottle cap, which was designed newly so that it can be easily recycled. The cap is made up of mono-material polypropene and is recyclable as it removes the need for the physical separation of different plastics. Recognizing its obligation to the environment, Heinz company also plans to cut the consumption of virgin plastic globally by 20% by 2030. At the 2023 U.K. Packaging Awards, the design won the award for Rigid Pack of the Year.

Restraint

Limitations and Challenges Due to Shortage of Raw Material

The key players often face a shortage of raw materials due to some restrictions imposed by the government or regulatory bodies, which can hamper the growth of the bottle caps market in the near future. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the shutdown of resorts, hotels, and bars in 2020 had a detrimental effect on the alcoholic beverage sector. Global lockout regulations, on the other hand, led to a rise in the drinking of beer and other beverages at home. Cans are more likely to be utilized for at-home consumption because of their handy package size, which increases the demand for metal can closures.

The percentage of beer cans among all beer container types rose to 67% in 2020 from 60% in 2019, according to the National Beer Wholesalers Association, a trade association with headquarters in the United States.

Opportunity

Rising Demand from the Food Industry

In the packaging industry, particularly in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, capping machines are commonly used to safely seal bottles. Quality and sanitization improvements made possible by capping machines improve the production process, which is one of the causes projected to fuel demand for these equipment. Different kinds of bottles, including plastic, glass, and metal, are packed using capping machines.

The demand for processed foods has grown recently due to rising disposable incomes and the rising living standards of health-conscious customers, which has driven the growth of the food and beverage industry. Furthermore, the key players operating in the market are focused on adopting inorganic growth strategies like partnerships, which help to develop advanced technology for manufacturing bottle caps, which is estimated to create lucrative opportunities for the growth of the bottle caps market during the forecast period.
In May 2024, Origin Materials company, a carbon-negative materials company, signed a partnership with IMDvista (‘IMD’), a high-tech company focused on the inspection of closures and other packaging components, to introduce the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) cap and closure manufacturing system.

Segment Insights

Type Insights

The screw closures segment dominated the bottle caps market in 2023.  Screw closures are quite easy to screw on and off of containers, enabling frequent opening and closing without sacrificing the product’s integrity. Because of this, they can be used for a variety of products, such as food and drink, medications, and personal hygiene items. Screw caps serve the primary function of enabling customers to unscrew, drain the contents, and then screw them back on tightly. Screw caps, which are frequently composed of aluminum or plastic, are utilized to preserve a variety of goods, including soft beverages, big chemical barrels, honey jars, and tiny pharmaceutical vials.

• In February 2024, California Winery, a brewing company run by the Bogle group, announced the launch of aluminum wine bottles, which has screw caps.
• In March 2024, Big Banyan winery announced the introduction of single-varietal wines.

Screw caps are widely used by the brewing industries like wine as they don’t contaminate wine like other crown or cork caps. Hence, due to the increase in the launch of the new wine brand and the bottles for wines, the demand for screw caps is increasing, which is estimated to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period. The wine company has looked for alternatives to cork closures due to their inadequacies, and screw caps have become a popular option. Screw caps, as opposed to cork, offer a hermetic seal that keeps oxygen out of the bottle and significantly lowers the possibility of cork taint. By doing this, the wine’s actual flavors and scents are preserved, and it stays unadulterated and fresh. The practical benefits of screw caps over cork closures are also present. They require no corkscrew and may be opened and resealed more easily, keeping the wine’s integrity intact for extended periods of time. Furthermore, compared to cork production, screw caps are more environmentally benign because they are easily recyclable and do not contribute to deforestation.

Several end-use sectors, including food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and automotive, use dispense caps of different kinds, including triggers, pumps, and flip-flops. This market is expected to increase as a result of the availability of several dispensing cap types based on the packaged product, ease of use, and controlled flow of packaged goods. Furthermore, crown closures have structures resembling crowns and are mostly composed of metal. Soft drinks, energy drinks, and beer come in glass bottles and are typically sealed with crown closures. As a result, it is anticipated that growing beverage consumption will raise demand for packaging closures.

Material Insights

The plastic segment held the largest share of the bottle caps market in 2023. Although plastic material is less biodegradable and produces CO2 during production, it is a worry for the environment. As a result, recycling is becoming more popular in the cap and closure industry, where many businesses are using recycled content as a raw material to reduce their reliance on virgin plastic. The increasing launch of recyclable plastic bottles is estimated to drive the growth of the segment over the forecast period.

• In March 2024, ALPLA, a plastic packaging company, revealed the launch of a new recyclable wine bottle with a screw cap made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The newly launched recyclable wine bottles with screw caps are estimated to cut down carbon footprints by up to 50%, with cost savings of up to 30%.
• In June 2024, Berry Global Inc., manufacturer, and marketer of plastic packaging products, revealed the introduction of the Domino bottle with screw cap available with up to 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic for the personal care, home, and beauty markets.

The metal segment is expected to witness significant growth in the bottle caps market over the forecast period. Metal has become more popular in the market since it is more resilient and sustainable than plastic materials. Glass beverage bottles, food product cans, and medicine bottles are all frequently covered with metal closures. The key players operating in the market are focused on launching metal bottles and growing their industry according to trends that are estimated to drive the growth of the segment over the forecast period.
BlueTriton Brands, Inc., a bottled-water marketer, revealed the launch of aluminum bottles with screw caps for several of its brands. The newly introduced aluminum bottles with screw caps are fully recyclable, and some part of the new bottle sales is earmarked for environmental groups.
