The growing demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions is expected to drive the growth of the canisters market in the coming years. Eco-friendly packaging encompasses solutions designed, manufactured, and disposed of in ways that minimize environmental impact, often utilizing sustainable, recyclable, or biodegradable materials. Rising consumer awareness is a key driver of this demand, as more shoppers actively seek products that reduce plastic use and overall environmental harm. Canisters support eco-friendly packaging initiatives by providing durable, reusable, and recyclable options that help minimize waste and reduce reliance on single-use plastics. For instance, in January 2025, according to a report by Shorr Packaging, a US-based packaging solutions provider, 90% of consumers are more likely to purchase from brands that offer sustainable packaging, and 54% reported intentionally choosing products with sustainable packaging over the past six months. As a result, growing interest in environmentally conscious packaging is fueling the expansion of the canisters market.

The canisters market is also seeing a trend toward strategic collaborations to drive sustainable packaging innovation. Companies are increasingly forming formal partnerships to enhance market presence, improve technological capabilities, and meet the rising demand for sustainable packaging without pursuing full mergers or acquisitions.

The canister provides notable environmental benefits, including up to 90% reduction in plastic use, and is delivered flat to improve transportation efficiency.

In April 2024, Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee Inc., a US-based food service company, partnered with Graphic Packaging International to introduce a sustainable packaging solution for retail coffee brands.
