Description
The North America Metal Cans Market would witness market growth of 4.7% CAGR during the forecast period (2025-2032).
The US market dominated the North America Metal Cans Market by Country in 2024, and would continue to be a dominant market till 2032; thereby, achieving a market value of $24,408.6 million by 2032. The Canada market is experiencing a CAGR of 6.9% during (2025 - 2032). Additionally, The Mexico market would exhibit a CAGR of 5.8% during (2025 - 2032). The US and Canada led the North America Metal Cans Market by Country with a market share of 74.9% and 12% in 2024.The US market is expected to witness a CAGR of 4% during throughout the forecast period.
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.
Application Outlook
Based on Application, the market is segmented into Beverages, Food, and Other Application. Among various US Metal Cans Market by Application; The Beverages market achieved a market size of USD $17047.5 Million in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7 % during the forecast period. The Other Application market is predicted to experience a CAGR of 5.1% throughout the forecast period from (2025 - 2032).
Product Outlook
Based on Product, the market is segmented into 2- Piece Drawn and Ironed, 2- Piece Draw Redraw (DRD), and 3- Piece. The 2- Piece Drawn and Ironed market segment dominated the Canada Metal Cans Market by Product is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6 % during the forecast period thereby continuing its dominance until 2032. Also, the 3- Piece market is anticipated to grow as a CAGR of 7.8 % during the forecast period during (2025 - 2032).
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.
