Caps and Closures Market Segment Analysis - By Material Type

The plastic segment holds the largest share in the caps and closures market in 2021 and is forecast to grow at 5.6% CAGR during 2022-2027. Caps and closures are made using several types of rugged polymers, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), Polypropylene (PP), High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and others. Caps and closures provide a safe, secure way to ship medicines and small consumer items, offering additional protection when goods are transported inside custom cardboard boxes. Owing to its advantages like cost-effectiveness, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the plastics make it the most preferable material in the caps and closures manufacturing and certainly escalate the growth of the market.

Caps and Closures Market Segment Analysis - By End-Use Industry

The food packaging segment holds the largest share in the caps and closures market in 2021 and is forecast to grow at 4.5% CAGR during 2022-2027. Owing to the rapid industrialization and urbanization, there is an unprecedented endorsement for packaged food across the world especially in developing countries such as India and China. The growing demand for bottled drinks is made mostly by PET, due to their versatility in shape and size. It is entirely recyclable and also the highest recycled plastic worldwide.

It is recycled by carefully washing and re-melting it, or by chemically breaking it down to its component materials to make new PET polymer. For instance, the Canada PET recycling rate was 27.9% in 2019. The rising demand for polyethylene terephthalate in food and beverages packaging such as carbonated soft drinks packaging contributed to the growth of the caps and closures market. The growing significance of packaging in the food industry is eventually propelling the growth of the plastic caps and closure market since the caps and closure are prominent parts of the packaging and play vital role in preserving the quality of the food packed.

Caps and Closures Market Segment Analysis - By Geography

Asia Pacific held the largest share in the caps and closures market in 2021 and is forecast to grow at 6.2% CAGR during 2022-2027 followed by North America and Europe. APAC is estimated to lead the market and the factors attributed to the development of the market are rapid industrialization and the prominence of waste management in countries like China, Japan, and India. The consumption of plastics has also increased due to the escalating packaging industry. Asia Pacific region claims more than 50% plastic recycling rate, majority of it is carried out in the informal sector and focused on single-use plastic recycling.

China has recycled 282 million tons of metal and plastic, according to China's Ministry of Commerce. Whereas in India PET plastic bottles have a 70% recycle rate. On the other hand, similarly, the increasing need for quality water and health-conscious drinking habits are expected to increase the consumption of bottled water, which directly influences the packaging industry in the region. For instance, according to DCC China, the consumption of bottled water reached 49 million metric tons, in 2020. The fast development in the sectors with increased the demand of caps and closures market in all the sector in the APAC region.

Caps and Closures Market Drivers

Increase demand for Bottled Water

A plastic screw cap is one of the plastic bottle caps. It needs to make the thread structure of the inner ring of the cap and tightly connect with the bottle thread. Benefit from the advantages of the thread structure, after the screw cap is tightened, through the interaction force between the threads. The demand for bottled water is increasing at a rapid speed. For instance, according to the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, bottled water consumption is increasing annually by 7% on average worldwide. Global consumption of bottled water was about 232 billion liters (61.4 billion gallons) in 2011 and is estimated to increase to 513 billion liters by 2025. North America has the highest rate of bottled water consumption about 30% followed by Europe with 29% and Asia with 27%, and 14% in other parts of the world. Thus, the growing demand for bottled water is driving the market for caps and closures during the forecast period.

The Demand from Pharmaceutical Packaging Sector is Driving the Market

Packaging of healthcare products reduces the possibility of product contamination and protects healthcare products from moisture, gas, light and temperature. This is driving the demand for caps and closures in the pharmaceutical end-use sector. After the pandemic, the demand for healthcare facilities, medicine related products are in high demand and eventually growing daily. For instance, in 2020 Mondi, UK based packaging company has recently developed packaging for QIAGEN's SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus test kit consisting of a polyester, aluminum, polyethylene packaging, and caps construction to provide the necessary protection from light and moisture so that the test kits are not compromised before they are used.

The development in the healthcare sector is driving the caps and closures market rapidly for like, the French fund Lauxera Capital Partners, which was launched in 2020 in Paris and San Francisco, announced a US$121 million fund to support European healthcare startups. Whereas, in India, the government invested US$8.80 billion outlay for the healthcare sector over six years in the Union Budget 2021-22 to strengthen the existing National Health Mission by developing capacities of primary, secondary, and tertiary care, healthcare systems, and institutions for detection and cure of new & emerging diseases. With the rapid growth rate in the healthcare sector, the demand for caps and closures will parallelly increase and certainly have a positive impact on the caps and closures market.

Caps and Closures Market Challenges

Stringent Government Regulations and Banning of Polymer Products Impede Market Growth

The FDA has pressurized manufacturers to submit data regarding the long-term health impact of inorganic substances in Plastics particularly hormonal effects and contributors to anti-biotic resistant bacteria, to ascertain the safety of medical use Plastics products like gloves. The most common plastic in use to produce containers and caps and closures of packed drinking water is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which takes 400 years to naturally decompose in nature.

While these plastics are highly recyclable, less than half the bottles sold are collected for recycling and just 7% of them are being recycled. Due to its low cost, easy transportation, low weight, and high resistance as well as lack of taste and aesthetic problems, PET is widely used for packaging a wide variety of edible products including water. As plastic bottles are not readily biodegradable, the main challenge is their durability in the environment. The discarded PET bottles have a high potential to be an environmental catastrophe, especially in economically developing countries if not recycled sufficiently. Thus, hampering the market growth of caps and closures in the forecast period.
