Caps & closures is an imperative segment of the packaging industry as it aids in protecting and extending the shelf-life of end-products. In terms of end-use, beverages remain the leading market for caps & closures. The pharmaceutical market is set to exhibit the strongest unit volume increases, followed by personal & household care products. Functional & light weight closures such as child-resistant, tamper evident, and dispensing caps which offer efficient dosing, will stimulate the growth in these markets. On the other hand, the growing usage of simplified packaging formats without closures and blister packaging will act as key restraints hindering the growth of the market.

The companies enjoying substantial market share are Berry Plastics Corporation (U.S.), Bericap (Germany), Global Closure Systems (France), Crown Holdings (U.S.), Silgan Holdings (U.S.), and Reynolds Group Holdings (New Zealand). The key industry players are increasing their business presence by launching novel caps for different pack types and by mergers and acquisitions in latent markets. Top six players in the caps & closures industry held a market share of around 17.5% signifying participation of a large number of players in this market. This fragmented industry structure is primarily due to the availability of number of pack types, sizes and raw materials used for caps & closures.
