Caps and closures are devices used for sealing or closing containers including jugs, bottles, tubes, and jars, among others. They are generally made up of metals and plastics and act as a barrier, preventing the goods inside from getting exposed to dust particle, light, air, and moisture, enhancing the shelf life of the product.
- The increased utilisation of beauty and personal care products due to increasing influence of various social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, among others along with rising prioritisation of self-care is aiding the caps and closures market growth. The caps and closures act as barriers and provide cosmetics protection against microbial contamination.
