세계의 금속 포장 시장 예측(-2032년) : 제품 유형별, 재질별, 최종사용자별, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Metal Packaging Market is accounted for $148.2 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $195.0 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period. The metal packaging market includes rigid containers made from aluminum and steel, used for food, beverages, aerosols, and cosmetics. It is experiencing steady growth driven by the material's superior performance as a barrier against light and oxygen, its infinite recyclability without loss of quality, and strong demand from the beverage canning sector.

According to the Aluminum Association, aluminum cans are the most recycled beverage container in the U.S., with a recycling rate of 50%, supporting circular economy goals.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Excellent barrier properties ensuring product protection

Metal packaging provides an exceptional barrier against light, oxygen, moisture, and contaminants, which is paramount for preserving product integrity and extending shelf life. This is critical for sensitive contents in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors, where even minor spoilage can lead to significant product recalls and brand damage. Consequently, the superior protection offered by metal containers continues to drive its preference among manufacturers seeking to ensure product safety and quality from production to consumption, thereby solidifying its market position.

Restraint:

Volatility in raw material prices affecting production costs

The metal packaging industry is highly susceptible to fluctuations in the prices of key raw materials such as steel and aluminum, which are globally traded commodities. This volatility directly impacts production costs, creating significant challenges in maintaining stable profit margins and pricing strategies. Furthermore, manufacturers often struggle to pass these increased costs downstream to consumers in highly competitive markets, thereby squeezing profitability and potentially hindering investments in new capacities.

Opportunity:

Innovation in light weighting and material reduction technologies

A significant opportunity lies in the continuous innovation toward lightweight metal containers, which reduces material usage without compromising structural integrity. This advancement directly lowers per-unit production and transportation costs, enhancing profitability and environmental credentials. Moreover, light weighting aligns with the circular economy and stringent sustainability targets, appealing to both cost-conscious manufacturers and eco-aware consumers. This positions companies that invest in such R&D to gain a competitive edge and capture greater market share.

Threat:

Environmental regulations impacting production processes

The metal packaging industry faces a growing threat from increasingly stringent global environmental regulations focused on emissions, recycling protocols, and the use of certain chemicals in production. Compliance often necessitates substantial capital investment in cleaner technologies and process modifications, thereby increasing operational overhead. Additionally, evolving Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws can shift end-of-life management costs back to producers, potentially eroding profit margins if not managed through proactive design-for-recycling initiatives and closed-loop partnerships.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic initially disrupted the metal packaging supply chain through factory closures and logistical constraints, causing temporary production delays. However, the market demonstrated remarkable resilience, driven by sustained demand for essential goods such as canned food and beverages during lockdowns. The health crisis underscored the package's attributes of durability and superior protection. While the non-essential segments like cosmetics experienced a downturn, the overall market stabilized and accelerated, highlighting metal packaging's critical role in global supply chains for essential consumer products.

The cans segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The cans segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period primarily fueled by its ubiquitous use in the food and beverage industry. The high consumer demand for canned beverages, including carbonated soft drinks, beer, and the rapidly expanding ready-to-drink category, provides a massive, consistent volume base. Additionally, the can's format offers excellent stackability, efficient logistics, and high recyclability, making it a cost-effective and sustainable choice for brand owners, which cements its dominance in the global metal packaging landscape.

The aluminum segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the aluminum segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate propelled by its lightweight properties, superior malleability, and high consumer recycling appeal. Its extensive application in beverage cans, along with growing penetration in pharmaceuticals and personal care, drives this expansion. Furthermore, aluminum's infinite recyclability without quality loss strongly aligns with corporate sustainability goals and circular economy principles, making it the material of choice for brands aiming to reduce their environmental footprint and meet evolving regulatory standards.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the North America region is expected to hold the largest market share. This dominance is attributed to a well-established and mature food & beverage industry, high consumption rates of canned products, and a sophisticated recycling infrastructure that supports the circular use of metal packaging. The presence of major industry players and a strong consumer preference for convenient, shelf-stable packaging formats further consolidates North America's leading position in the global metal packaging market.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR. This accelerated growth is fueled by rapid urbanization, a burgeoning middle class with increasing disposable income, and the expansion of modern retail channels. Rising consumption of packaged foods, beverages, and personal care products in densely populated countries like China and India is a primary catalyst, creating immense demand for metal containers and attracting significant investments from global packaging manufacturers.
