Metal Cans in China forecasts for 2011 & 2016
Chinese demand for metal cans to rise 6.2% annually through 2011
Chinese demand for metal cans is projected to post annual gains of 6.2 percent to reach 26.8 billion units in 2011, valued at nearly ¥22 billion. Value gains will be aided by price increases while overall unit demand increases at a slower pace. Advances will be stimulated by an expanding population base, rising disposable personal income levels, smaller household sizes, consumer demand for more conveniently prepared foods, and the trend toward value-added packaging, accentuated by high impact graphics and increased barrier properties. Still, gains will be constrained by intense competition from alternative packaging materials like glass and plastics.
Steel and bi-metal cans to outpace aluminum types
Steel and bi-metal cans will continue to represent the largest segment of the metal can market and expand market share at the expense of aluminum cans, accounting for more than 49 percent of metal can demand in China in 2011. Advances will be fueld by robust prospects for metal cans used for nonalcoholic beverages packaging, based on an expanding customer base and growing popularity of beverages. Opportunities will also result from the ongoing proliferation of steelbeer cans. Steel cans will face increasing competition from other packagingmaterials such as plastic and glass in food markets. In applications aside from food and beverages, steel cans will benefit from their high strength-to-
Beverage applications to retain the largest share inunit terms
Metal can demand in beverage applications is expected to expand 6.1 percent per annum through 2011 approaching 19.4 billion units and remain the largest segment. Gains will be spurred by population and economic growth, which will support increases in beverage consumption. Cans will log more favorable advances in beer and other smaller fast-growing nonalcoholic beverage markets such as functional drinks, RTD coffees, protein beverages and fruit beverages. In the carbonated soft drink market, moderate demand will largely reflect the ongoing penetration of competitive plastic containers, especially smaller sized polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. Chinese demand for metal food cans is forecast to increase 5.9 percent per year through 2011 to 5.2 billion units, trailing the industry average. Can gains will be in line with growth in canned food production, though metal cans will face stiff competition from glass and plastic bottles, jars and cups in many food applications. Strong growth opportunities will be based on rising personal income and construction expenditures in the country, which will fuel greater spending on higher value protective coatings.
