Can Coatings Companies

In terms of value, the can coatings market is estimated to grow from USD 2.76 billion in 2025 to USD 3.44 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.46%.

One of the most significant drivers of growth for the can coatings market has been the continual growth of packaged food and beverages. Urban lifestyles, two-income households, and consumers under time constraints have all driven an increased reliance on ready-to-eat meals, canned vegetables, and beverages, particularly carbonated drinks, sports drinks, and energy drinks. While many forms of packaging are available, cans remain one of the most dependable packaging solutions to protect against spoilage, preserve flavor and nutrition, and allow enhanced shelf life. However, metal cans can corrode and also present a condition in which flavor interactions degrade product safety without proper coatings. Therefore, food and beverage manufacturers have embraced high performance coatings that incorporate barriers based on food regulatory compliance for food contact, while ensuring strong barrier properties that protect against acids, salts, and carbonation, driving the demand for can coatings.
