IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON METAL PACKAGING MARKET
The COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly spreading and ruthlessly affects the business environments of major markets. The demand for metal packaging witnesses significant decline in all segments. Some regions, particularly, North America and Europe, witness greater decline than Asia-Pacific. Amidst the ongoing crisis, metal packaging producers are operating at a lower capacity and are planning to scale up their operation after carefully assessing the course of COVID-19 in the near term.
Furthermore, import and export activities were significantly impacted, which, in turn, adversely affect the industries using metal packaging, thereby affecting the metal packaging market.
With nearly 98 billion units produced each year and four groups being consumed weekly by every EU citizen, Metal Packaging Europe (MPE) led the European producers of rigid metal packaging to recognize the metal packaging sector as essential in ensuring the uninterrupted flow of critical goods in the aftermath of COVID-19. Several beverage can manufacturers' expansion projects have helped the countries satisfy the rise in demand for metal cans in recent years. However, due to country-specific travel restrictions and safety concerns, there have been delays.
Moreover, multiple supply chain disruptions led to significant manufacturers to report setbacks. For instance, in May 2020, Ball Corporation announced delays in beverage packaging projects in Europe and Brazil due to the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The U.S. reported witnessing a surge in demand for processed foods like canned soups and vegetables during the outbreak of COVID-19, affecting the metal packaging across the food industry's supply chain.
Metal container manufacturers were required to speed up production, but the labor remained a challenge. Crown Holdings, announced to increase production in the U.S. across 2020. The pandemic added urgency to the effort. The company initiated 81 open production jobs at its 25 U.S. plants, in place of third production line being set up at a factory in Nichols, New York. Silgan Holdings has over 50 plants across the U.S. The company reported an increase in first-quarter earnings in 2020, partly due to a jump in demand for cans.
