Global Aluminum Cans Market Regional Insights

On the basis of region, global aluminum cans market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and MEA. The North America region dominated the global market. Growing concerns about the use and consumption of sustainable packaging materials are driving the growth of the aluminum can market in the region. According to the World Aluminum Organization, in February 2021, 5.112 million metric tons of primary aluminum was produced worldwide and 312 million metric tons were produced in North America, helping to grow the region's aluminum industry. Also, the Beer Institute's 2021 report estimates that American brewers use 36 billion aluminum cans each year.

With increasing consumer preference for processed and packaged food and beverages, the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast years.
