Just Published: "Canned/Preserved Food Packaging in Sweden"

Metal packaging is the dominant pack type in canned/preserved food, accounting for 164 million units in 2013, representing over 49% of the total number of units. However, the trend is negative for metal cans as it decreased by almost 4% in 2013 and by a CAGR of 3% during the review period. The other leading pack type, glass, is seeing the same negative development. Heavy weight (higher costs for transportation) and convenience are some of the reasons why manufacturers (and consumers) are choosing other pack types for canned/preserved food. Other pack types, such as Tetra Brik containers, are also more environmentally friendly than metal packaging. Within metal cans, steel is the dominant material as aluminium is only used for smaller pack sizes (ie less than 400g).

Industry Prospects

Consumption requirements and usage occasions dictate the most effective type of food packaging. There is a great deal of opportunity for consumer goods organisations to innovate in order to incorporate sustainability and convenience into new and improved packaging designs. Hence, satisfying both the needs of Swedish consumers while also providing a wealth of sustainability benefits is something the canned/preserved food packaging industry will have to continue to consider, moving forward. In addition, decreasing the size of packaging materials and the utilisation of environmentally-friendly formats will add certain advantages to packaging types.
