Heavy metal: Stiff competition from other packaging manufacturers will subdue revenue growth

Metal Can & Container Manufacturing in the US

Revenue remains contained

Demand for plastic bottles and increasing competition from other packaging manufacturers will cause revenue to remain relatively flat over the next five years. However, the industry will experience modest gains in revenue due to increasing raw material prices and a stronger economy. Still, the threat of competition will take its toll on industry operators, with the number of firms projected to decline during the next five years.

This industry manufactures light-gauge metal containers, which are primarily used as beverage and food cans. Steel shipping barrels, drums, pails and other fabricated steel boxes are smaller contributors to industry revenue.
