Tinplate Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The increasing launch of new food and beverage products in metal cans is notably driving the tinplate market growth, although factors such as volatility in raw material prices may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the tinplate industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Tinplate Market Driver

One of the key factors driving growth in the tinplate market is the increasing launch of new food and beverage products in metal cans. Nowadays, vendors prefer to use metal packaging for new products. Some new food and beverages that use metal packaging are, in September 2019, Diageo plc (Diageo) launched its new Guinness’ Over the Moon Milk Stout in metal cans. The new product contains about 5.3% ABV (alcohol by volume). In July 2019, Princes Ltd. (Princes) launched two new canned fish-based product ranges, Infused Tuna Fillets and Mackerel Sizzle. The Mackerel line contains skinless and boneless mackerel fillets in a marinade, while the Tuna range features the hand-picked pieces of tuna infused in oil. Thus, the rising number of launches of food and beverage products in metal packaging is expected to drive the growth of the global tinplate market in the F&B packaging sector during the forecast period.

Key Tinplate Market Trend

One of the key tinplate market trends fueling the market growth is the product launches and recycled packaging. Vendors are investing in R&D to increase the usability of tinplate for end-users. For instance, in July 2019, JSW Steel, a subsidiary of JSW Group, introduced Platina, a premium tinplate material in India. For the project, the company invested more than USD130 million to expand its tinplate capacity to 0.5 million MT in Maharashtra. This kind of product launch will strengthen vendors’ market presence. Furthermore, end-users such as packaging industry players are coming with recycled tinplate materials for F&B packaging and FMCG packaging. Due to the increasing popularity of recycled tinplate, vendors are expected to focus more on sustainable tinplate production.

Key Tinplate Market Challenge

The volatility in raw material prices will be a major challenge for the tinplate market during the forecast period. Various types of raw materials are used in tinplate, such as iron or steel and tin. The cost of these raw materials determines the price of the end product. The widening gap between the demand for and supply of the above raw materials in the last few years has led to a considerable increase in their prices. Factors affecting the price of raw materials are the changing economic conditions, currency fluctuations, commodity price fluctuations, transportation costs, resource availability, and political instability. Thus, fluctuations in the prices of raw materials like steel and tin are expected to pose a challenge to the market.
