Watch: Beverage Caps Sales Will Increase Through 2021

In terms of unit market share, bottled water’s closure usage will account for 35 percent, with “other beverages” being the next largest with 29 percent of market share. Beer and carbonated soft drinks are expected to decline their closure market share through 2021, accounting for 18 percent and 17 percent, respectively. This is in part due to consumers looking for healthier drinks with less sugar. This has impacted the way brands are positioning themselves.
