Strategic Analysis of the North American Plastic Caps and Closures Market
Frost & Sullivan, May 2010, Pages: 103
The strategic analysis of the North American plastic caps and closures market involves a detailed analysis on the plastic closure market based on caps and closure application and type. The caps and closure applications discussed in the study include food and beverage, personal care, household and industrial chemicals, pharmaceutical and automotive. The closure types discussed include tamper evident, continuous thread, child resistant, dispensing and dispensing systems. The geographical scope of the study involves the United States and Canada.
Key Findings – CSD Closures
- Increase in popularity of bottled water and juices over CSDs have led to decline in the CSD closures market.
- It is a highly competitive market due to high degree of price sensitivity. Changes in market is mainly driven by Coca Cola and Pepsi.
- Top-three brand owners accounted for xx percent of the consumer base in 2009, thereby leaving less opportunity for smaller closure manufacturers. Brand owners typically prefer not to have more than three closure suppliers.
- Trend toward short-height/lightweight closures will result in shift toward single-piece linerless HDPE closures from two-piece PP closures.
- Private labels are likely to take share away from Pepsi and Coca Cola in the future by offering innovative flavors.
Key Findings – Bottled Water Closures
- Bottled water is the largest market for beverage closures and is also the one showing better growth compared to other applications.
- Increasing preference of bottled water and flavored water over CSD is the main growth driver.
- Bottled water closures are typically single-piece HDPE closures, with increasing use of organoleptic-grade HDPE.
- Nestle Waters is the largest bottled water producer and is gaining share from Pepsi and Coca Cola. The share of private label manufacturers is also increasing gradually.
- Climatic influence, such as hotter summers, would drive the water consumption and hence closure consumption.
