The North American metal can market started in the early 1900s with steel cans for storing food. By the middle of the 20th century, it had switched to making large numbers of aluminum cans, mostly for drinks. New technologies, like draw-and-iron, made it possible for thinner, seamless designs to become the industry standard. The region makes more than 130 billion cans every year. According to the EPA, in 2018, Americans generated about 292.4 million tons of municipal solid waste, with approximately 69 million tons being recycled and 25 million tons composted, resulting in a recycling and composting rate of 32.1%. Aluminium is the most popular material for drinks because it is light, easy to recycle, and energy efficient. Steel is used for food, aerosol, and industrial purposes aluminium is better than glass and PET. This is why the industry is pushing for deposit return systems, extended producer responsibility laws, and better recycling infrastructure. Tariffs on metals brought in from other countries have made it more profitable to make things locally. At the same time, trends like lightweighting and smart packaging with QR codes and NFC tags are changing how consumers interact with products and how companies work to be more environmentally friendly.

Big companies like Crown Holdings, Ball Corporation, Ardagh Group, and Silgan are working toward goals of sustainability, digitalization, and efficiency. Crown's "Twenty by 30" program is all about using less carbon and more recycled materials. Ball is investing in local facilities and renewable energy. Ardagh is working on using less water and more recycled materials. These businesses also have a say in policy, push for recycling infrastructure, and use automation and AI-driven inspection to increase output and reduce waste. The market is somewhat consolidated. Big OEMs use their size and smart packaging skills to their advantage, while smaller manufacturers do well in niche areas like craft beverages and artisanal foods. As environmental rules get stricter and more companies start using digital packaging, consolidation is likely to speed up. This will benefit leaders who focus on innovation.

Country Outlook

The U.S. metal cans market is the biggest and most developed in North America. It is driven by strong demand from the food, beverage, aerosol, and personal care sectors. Aluminum is preferred for drinks, while steel and tinplate are preferred for food and specialty products. Sustainability rules and a strong recycling system help growth, but tariffs on steel and aluminum that went into effect in 2025 made production costs much higher, which affected the prices of canned goods. Market trends show a move toward 2-piece aluminum cans, linings that don't contain BPA, and advanced coatings. Craft beverage makers are especially sensitive to cost pressures. Ball, Crown, Ardagh, Silgan, and Novelis are some of the biggest players in the industry. They compete by coming up with new ideas, being environmentally friendly, and making things in a way that saves money. Tariffs help domestic metal suppliers but make things harder for can makers and end users.
