View PricingAluminum Can Manufacturers
Aluminum can manufacturers are companies that specialize in producing aluminum cans, the most popular packaging solution for beverages such as soda, beer, energy drinks, and others. The aluminum can industry has been growing since the 1950s, and today, it represents a multibillion-dollar market with global reach. The following are some essential facts you need to know about aluminum can manufacturers.
1. An Overview of Aluminum Can Manufacturing
Aluminum cans are made of a material called aluminum and produced through a 2-step process: sheet fabrication and can fabrication. In the first step, aluminum sheets are manufactured and coated with a special lacquer called “food-grade coating.” The coating protects the can’s content from the aluminum and prevents any metallic taste from being transferred to the beverage. Then, in the second step, the sheets are transformed into cans through a complex process that involves drawing, ironing, necking, flanging, and seaming.
The manufacturing process requires a high degree of precision and strict quality control, as any defect can lead to leakage, spoilage, or contamination of the beverage. The main types of aluminum cans produced by manufacturers are two-piece cans and three-piece cans, with the former being more common due to its simplicity and ease of production.
2. Key Players in the Aluminum Can Industry
The aluminum can industry is dominated by a few major players that control a significant portion of the market share. The top three manufacturers of aluminum cans worldwide are Ball Corporation, Crown Holdings, and Ardagh Group. Ball Corporation is the largest, with over 100 locations in the world and a revenue of around $11.8 billion in 2020. Crown Holdings comes in second, with a revenue of approximately $11.2 billion, and Ardagh Group follows with $8.6 billion.
Other notable players in the industry include Rexam, Can-Pack, Silgan Holdings, BWAY Corporation, and Toyo Seikan Co. Ltd. These companies produce a wide range of aluminum packaging solutions, including cans, bottles, lids, and other containers, and serve customers in various sectors such as food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.
3. Aluminum Can Demand and Trends
The demand for aluminum cans has been increasing steadily over the years, driven by several factors such as population growth, urbanization, and changing consumer preferences. Aluminum cans are preferred over other packaging alternatives due to their convenience, low weight, high durability, and recyclability. The latter is a significant advantage as aluminum cans can be recycled infinitely without losing their quality, making them one of the most sustainable packaging options available.
In recent years, the aluminum can industry has seen some notable trends that are shaping its future. One of these is the rise of craft breweries and microbreweries that use aluminum cans to package their products. Another trend is the increasing demand for ready-to-drink beverages, especially in emerging markets, which is expected to drive the growth of the aluminum can market in the coming years.
4. Challenges and Opportunities for Aluminum Can Manufacturers
Despite the favorable market conditions, aluminum can manufacturers face several challenges that could affect their businesses' future. One of these is the volatility of aluminum prices, which can fluctuate significantly due to supply and demand imbalances and geopolitical factors. Additionally, increasing competition from alternative packaging solutions such as plastic and glass poses a threat to the aluminum can industry's growth.
On the other hand, there are also several opportunities that aluminum can manufacturers can leverage to expand their businesses. One such opportunity is the growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions, which is creating a favorable environment for the adoption of aluminum cans. Moreover, the increasing use of aluminum cans in niche markets such as cannabis and energy drinks could open up new revenue streams for manufacturers.
In summary, aluminum can manufacturers play a significant role in the packaging industry, providing convenient, durable, and sustainable solutions for a wide range of beverages and other products. Despite facing some challenges, the market continues to grow, and manufacturers need to adapt to changing consumer preferences and market trends to remain competitive in the long run.

Throughout this year, global aluminum prices continuously grew and in October 2021 gained 62% compared to October 2020. China's output has decreased due to restrictions on energy usage and halted production at a 300K-ton capacity factory in Yunnan province. As a consequence, the average yearly price in 2022 is projected to rise by 6% y-o-y. Despite rising prices, the U.S., the world´s largest aluminum importer, expanded its purchases by 4.5% against 2020.

Prices for aluminum this year will remain low thanks to the consistent growth in global production of the metal overcoming obstacles caused by the pandemic. In the mid-term, demand for aluminum in the construction sector and car manufacturing is forecast to steadily rise. The rapid development of alternative energy sources will also drive the market up because aluminum is used in the production of solar batteries, wind generators and other components of energy facilities. In China, the launch of quotas on greenhouse gas emissions could lead to higher prices for aluminum as production for the metal in the country leaves a heavy carbon footprint.
