Advances will be aided bygreater use of more expensive dispensingclosures and child-resistant closures(CRCs). Unit gains will be supported bythe continued popularity of single-servingcontainers, especially in the beveragemarket, and further inroads by plasticcontainers in applications formerlydominated by glass and metal containers.However, unit advances will deceleratefrom the pace of the 1999-2009period based on the maturity of severallarge beverage applications and environmentalconcerns regarding bottled water.Competition from closureless packagingformats, such as aluminum beveragecans, most stand-up pouches, andblister packs, will moderate gains, as willthe use of flexible foil, paper and filmlidding rather than rigid lids in manyapplications.Plastic caps, closures to remaindominant, lead gainsPlastic caps and closures, which comprised79 percent of unit demand in2009, will post above-average unit andvalue advances, reflecting continuedinroads by plastic containers into numerousmarkets. Plastic cap and closuredemand is forecast to climb 4.5 percentannually to $7.7 billion in 2014, supportedby the long-term shift in theUS Cap & Closure Demand, 2009($7.8 billion)consumer packaging mix away fromglass and metal containers to plasticalternatives, as plastic containers tend toemploy plastic closures. Moreover, thecompatibility of plastic caps with glasscontainers and the use of such caps ongabletop cartons will boost growth.However, gains will decelerate from the1999-2009 performance, reflecting thealready significant penetration of plasticcontainers in most markets as mostlarge-scale conversions have alreadytaken place.Metal cap and closure demand isexpected to decline moderately through2014 as a result of further inroads byplastic containers and closures and asluggish outlook for production of beer,Plastic79%Metal11%Other10%the dominant application for metalcrowns. Among major cap and closurematerials, elastomer and rubber stopperswill experience the fastest growththrough 2014 based on increasingpreferences for stoppers made fromhigher value-added elastomeric andsynthetic rubber materials. Gains willalso be driven by the continuing commercializationof injectable biotechnology-baseddrugs and the increasingavailability of parenteral medication inprefilled syringes.

Additionally, increasing usage ofaluminum bottles in certain beverage applications will benefit demandfor the metal caps and closures -- typically crowns and roll-ons -- usedwith these containers. In value terms, metal cap and closure demand willfall to $855 million in 2014 as a result of leveling off or slight declines inpricing after the price surges seen in the 2004-2009 period.Despite their dwindling market share, metal caps and closuresexhibit numerous textadvantages, including strength, the ability to createa tamper-evident vacuum seal, superior barrier properties and goodaesthetics (e.g., an upscale image in many applications and amenabilityto high-quality metal lithographic printing). However, improvementsin plastic containers and plastic closures have allowed plastic closuresto penetrate many hot-fill food and beverage markets once exclusivelyserved by metal closures. In the case of metal vacuum caps, an expensive,energy-intensive steam process is typically needed to soften theplastisol gasket inside the cap. In order to cut costs and eliminate stepsin the packaging process, many producers have opted for hot-fill bottlingmethods that use less costly plastic caps that do not need steaming.Since metal caps and closures are primarily used with glass bottlesand jars, growth prospects are heavily influenced by those forecast for118sampleCopyright 2010 The Freedonia Group, Inc.O th e rs5 8 .2 %CHART VI-1US CAP & CLOSURE MARKET SHARE, 2009($7.8 billion)O th e r L e a d e rs1 0 .5 %M a rke tL e a d e rs3 1 .3 %samplechart9.1%5.0%4.9%4.2%4.2%3.9%R examAp t arG ro u pB erry Plast icsSilg anR eyn o ld s G rpM ead W est v acoPage Click here to purchase onlineOrder now, click here!
