Demand for beverage containers in China is projected to approach 300 billion units in 2012, according to a new Reportlinker.com research.
Gains will be driven by rising personal income levels, which in turn will support robust growth in beverage consumption markets and hence related container sales.
Continued utilization of single-serving containers in many markets and high levels of new product introductions accompanied by aggressive marketing efforts will also contribute to beverage container demand gains.
Plastic containers will account for nearly 43% of total beverage container demand in 2012, continuing to lead the market and capturing market share from traditional metal and glass containers.
Advances will be buoyed by plastic’s increasingly widespread use in almost all market segments.
The rising popularity of smaller plastic bottles, such as single-serving PET bottles, will also support unit gains.
Glass will remain the second largest beverage container material, benefiting from the upscale, premium image glass conveys.
Beer will continue to offer the best prospects for glass bottles due to strong increases in beer consumption.
Greater use of non-returnable beer bottles will also bolster sales gains in glass bottles.
Demand for paperboard containers is projected to reach nearly 64 billion units in 2012, representing the fastest growth among all beverage containers.
Gains will track the favorable production outlook for milk, fruit beverages and other non-alcoholic beverages, benefiting from robust gains in consumer spending and sustained consumer interest in the health benefits of these beverages.
Demand for metal cans will expand modestly, as they continue to lose ground to single-serving PET bottles.
However, considerable production growth for beer and other non-carbonated soft drinks, which utilize a significant amount of metal cans, will boost demand.
