India Beverage Cans Market Outlook

india has been the world's largest consumer of beverages in cans since 2018. the demand for beverage cans has been continuously increasing due to their ease of carrying and convenience. moreover, retailers and manufacturers love beverage cans for longer shelf life due to aluminum packaging and no need for refrigeration. however, in spite of the increasing demand for beverage cans, there are certain challenges faced by its industry. a major challenge for the indian beverage can market outlook is the lack of technical knowledge and absence of technologically advanced equipment and machinery. india’s beverage can manufacturing industry is in its nascent stage and hence, the lack of advanced machinery and equipment makes it difficult to enhance production capacity and quality of the product. moreover, the beverage can packaging industry in india is also faced with the challenge of higher packaging cost due to lack of government initiatives to provide subsidised rates on packaging material. in order to remain competitive in the market, manufacturers have to cater to a wide range of customer requirements such as attractive designs, packaging materials and better content presentation, which further adds to cost. the indian beverage can industry is also plagued with the issue of improper waste management system and lack of legislations that can ensure proper disposal of used cans and recycling. the consumption of packaged beverages has led to an increase in the number of cans being disposed, as they are non-biodegradable. hence, proper legislation and implementation of initiatives like recycling of cans need to be looked into. despite the challenges faced by the beverage can industry, demand for these packaging products is on the rise and is likely to keep up in the future with rapid industrialization and urbanization. the indian beverage can industry, however, needs to focus on increasing its production capabilities, adopt advanced technologies, improve waste management system and legislate on proper recycling systems to remain relevant in the near future.
