Market Report I 2025-04-28 I 100 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
The GCC Metal Cans Market size is worth USD 5.51 Billion in 2025, growing at an 5.73% CAGR and is forecast to hit USD 7.28 Billion by 2030.
Key Highlights
- In the GCC, the food and beverage sector stands out as the predominant user of metal cans. With a burgeoning population and escalating disposable incomes, there's been a marked uptick in the consumption of packaged goods, mainly soft drinks and canned items. As sustainability and environmental concerns gain traction in the GCC, metal cans are increasingly favored over plastic, primarily for their recyclability.
- As urban lifestyles evolve and populations swell, demand surges for various beverages-from soft drinks and juices to energy drinks and beer. This trend extends to packaged foods housed in metal cans. The beverage sector, particularly in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, has witnessed robust growth in the GCC region. Metal cans, celebrated not only for their convenience but also for their advantages in preserving product quality and taste, are fueling this market expansion.
- Aluminum and other metal cans come with notable sustainability perks. Fully recyclable aluminum cans enjoy a steady uptick in recycling across GCC nations. This sustainability commitment aligns with global and regional environmental goals, attracting brands keen to flaunt their eco-friendly credentials.
- Strategically positioned, the UAE is a vital trade hub, facilitating exports to neighboring Middle Eastern countries, Africa, and Asia. This central role solidifies the UAE's prominence in the metal cans market, with local producers serving domestic and international clientele. Thanks to strong trade relationships and an advanced logistics network, the UAE boosts the export potential of metal cans, driving market growth.
- However, prices for raw materials like aluminum and steel are vulnerable to shifts in the global supply chain, trade tariffs, and geopolitical events. Such price fluctuations can impact the production process, posing challenges for regional manufacturers striving to maintain stable prices for metal cans.
