Summary

World demand to rise 4.7% annually through 2011

Global demand for caps and closures is forecast to expand 4.7 percent per year through 2011 to $32 billion, representing 1.4 trillion units. Accelerating economic growth and rising personal incomes will support development of consumer nondurable goods markets, especially in the world's emerging economies, with closures and other packaging materials among the primary beneficiaries. Unit gains will continue to be driven by the penetration of closure-intensive plastic packaging at the expense of traditionally closureless packaging media such as gabletop and aseptic drink cartons and plastic pouches. Limiting growth will be heightened competition from packaging formats that do not use closures, such as blister packs and standup pouches. Sales revenues will be fueled by a shift in the product mix in favor of value-added closure types that provide greater product safety, user convenience and/or shelf appeal. Examples include tamper-evident, child-resistant and dispensing types.

China, India to perform strongly in unit gains

Above-average gains are expected in the world's emerging markets, especially those in Asia. China will lead the way, accounting for over one-fourth of projected unit gains in global cap and closure demand through 2011. However, due to relatively low prices, it will account for only 16 percent of value gains. India will also perform strongly. The US, which accounts for almost one-fourth of global cap and closure value demand, also enjoys generally favorable prospects (fueled by a continued shift in the product mix toward value-added configurations). Western Europe and Japan will see slower growth, hindered by mature markets and stagnant population growth.

Plastic to continue supplanting metal, cork Plastic closures will continue to supplant traditional metal and (increasingly) cork types, supported by technological advances and the ongoing shift from glass to plastic and paperboard in consumer packaging applications such as soft drinks and pharmaceuticals. Beverages will remain the dominant market for caps and closures, accounting for almost 65 percent of unit demand in 2011. In the beverage sector, strongest gains are expected in the bottled water segment, with nontraditional products such as sports drinks and flavored milk also performing favorably. Healthy growth is also anticipated in consumer chemical markets such as cosmetics, toiletries and household cleaners, which are enjoying rapid growth and becoming more intensive users of packaging in the developing world.
