Report Format: PDF | Published Date: Ongoing | Report ID: FBI110117 | Status : UpcomingContinuous economic growth and rising disposable income have led to an increase in the global consumption of beer. The growing awareness of the benefits of consuming the standard amount of beer, such as improved blood sugar control and lower dementia risk, among others, is contributing to the growth of the beer cans market. Furthermore, changing consumer demands and the high demand for flavored beer among the growing and aged generation are majorly driving the expansion of this market.
- According to the Brewers of Europe organization, beer production in the European Union was 34.2 billion liters in 2021, higher than the production of 2020, which was valued at 34.1 billion liters, and consumption was also slightly up in 2021, to 30 billion liters, from 29.7 billion liters in 2020. Thus, the increasing production and consumption of beer are increasing the demand for beer cans in the market.
Urbanization has surged in emerging nations, and that has exposed the population to different alcoholic beverages. The changing lifestyle and increased consumption of beer among the younger generation are part of the trend and are enhancing the growth of the beer cans market. In addition, the convenience offered by cans and the high demand for single-served packages are increasing the demand in this market. The rising demand for sustainable and recyclable packaging is one of the primary driving factors of the beer cans market.
Beer cans have several benefits but have some significant disadvantages, as they cannot be reused, leading to increased packaging waste and restricted market growth. The cans are generally made from metal such as aluminum, steel, and tinplate, and the rising cost and irregularity in the prices of these materials are hampering the growth of the beer cans market. Moreover, the presence of a wide variety of alcoholic and flavored beverages in the market as a substitute for beer is impeding the growth of this market.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the market saw a declining demand for beer as people were consuming more healthy products, which led to the reduced consumption of alcoholic beverages. The temporary ban on pubs, restaurants, and liquor shops also led to the negative growth of the beer cans market during the period.
