Description

Caps & Closures

Growth in the US caps and closures market will total 3.9% annually through 2020 in value terms.  Gains will be driven by the use of value-added products that offer advantages such as tamper prevention, easy dispensing, or traceability.  Advances will also be supported by the introduction of closures on pouches and cartons.

This report segments the cap and closure industry by Material, Product, and Market.  Data is provided in million US dollars and billion units.

Materials used in the cap and closure industry include:
• Plastic
• Metal
• Rubber & Elastomer
• Paperboard
• Cork

Plastic saw the greatest use in 2015 and will post healthy gains through 2020 based on the versatility and low cost of products using this material. Demand for caps and closures using metal will grow at a slower than average pace based on the shrinking market for glass containers and an unfavorable outlook for beer production.

Cap and closure products include:
• Plastic and Metal Threaded Caps
• Dispensing Closures (including aerosol types)
• Synthetic & Natural Corks
• Child-Resistant Caps
• Screw & Lug Caps
• Crowns
• Elastomer & Rubber Stoppers
• Lids

Plastic threaded caps will remain the largest of these through 2020.  Strong growth is expected for dispensing closures, driven by consumer preference for containers that are easy to use, especially on-the-go.

Major cap and closure markets include:
• Beverages
• Pharmaceuticals
• Food
• Cosmetics & Toiletries
• Household Chemicals
• Automotive Chemicals

Beverages was the leading outlet in 2015.  The most rapid gains through 2020 are forecast for the pharmaceuticals market, fueled by federal regulations that require the use of higher value tamper-proof closures.

The US cap and closure market encompasses upwards of 200 companies, ranging from global packaging concerns to injection molders that also produce non-packaging products.  Participants in this industry include AptarGroup, Berry Plastics, BERICAP, Crown, Mold-Rite Plastics, Reynolds Group, RPC Group, Silgan, and West Rock.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
