Market snapshot / recent developments
Market size (examples vary by vendor): Grand View Research estimates the global rigid packaging market at USD 530.9 billion in 2024 (forecast to grow ~7.0% CAGR).
Alternative reputable baseline: Fortune Business Insights reports the rigid-packaging market at USD 452.96 billion in 2024 (projected to USD 704.24B by 2032, CAGR ~5.67%) — different vendors use different scopes, so pick one when modelling.
Sub-segments: rigid plastic packaging is a very large submarket (Grand View cites ~USD 243.4 billion for rigid plastic in 2024) while metal (aluminum/steel) cans and glass are other major rigid segments.
Drivers
Strong demand from food & beverage (beverage cans, food tubs), personal care, pharmaceuticals and household chemicals — durable protection & shelf life needs favor rigid formats.
E-commerce & convenience packaging (reclosable, portioned rigid containers) and continuing substitution away from single-use flexible in some segments (driven by perceived performance).
Sustainability & recyclability: aluminium cans and certain rigid plastics benefit from strong recycling systems and brand ESG programs, supporting demand for recyclable rigid formats.
Restraints
Raw material & energy price volatility (resin, aluminum, glass, electricity) compresses margins and creates pricing pass-through challenges.
Regulatory & consumer pressure to reduce single-use plastics — pushes reformulation, substitution and can slow growth in some rigid-plastic niches.
Regional segmentation analysis
Asia-Pacific is the largest region by volume and often the fastest-growing (huge FMCG manufacturing, growing retail), typically accounting for the plurality of global demand.
North America & Europe represent high-value per-unit demand (premium rigid formats, beverage-cans penetration, high regulatory scrutiny and established recycling infrastructure).
Emerging trends
Lightweighting & mono-material design to improve recyclability.
Increased use of aluminum (beverage cans, personal care) and engineered rigid plastics for product differentiation.
M&A and industry consolidation (examples: Amcor’s large acquisition activity and consolidation in consumer packaging).
Top use cases
Beverage cans (aluminum), food jars & tubs, personal-care jars and bottles, rigid trays & clamshells for foodservice, pharma bottles and industrial/chemical drums.
Major challenges
Managing capital intensity for large-scale thermoforming, blow-molding or can production lines and tooling.
Recycling & EPR (extended producer responsibility) rules that vary by region and add compliance cost.
Attractive opportunities
Aluminum beverage cans & high-recycle-content rigid formats — strong brand & consumer preference, premium ASPs in beverage/personal care.
Value-added rigid solutions (barrier coatings, active packaging, specialty closures) and turnkey contract packaging for food / pharma customers.
Key factors of market expansion
FMCG volume growth (food, beverages, personal care), packaging-for-ecommerce adoption, recycling infrastructure improvements, and raw-material price stability.
Company references — compact table (company scale & cited values)
Use the company consolidated figures below as scale proxies — many firms don’t break out a dedicated “rigid packaging” line in public filings; where available I used segment numbers.
Company / business | Latest public numeric value (source) | Note |

Crown Holdings | Quarterly / FY figures reported in FY2024 press releases (company publishes FY revenue; recent releases summarised). | Global metal packaging specialist (beverage & food cans). |
Sealed Air | Sales 2024: US$5.4 billion (full-year 2024 results). | Sells engineered packaging (rigid trays, protective packaging) — a mix of flexible & rigid solutions. |
Ardagh Group (metal & glass) | Ardagh Metal Packaging revenue 2024: ~US$4.9 billion (AMP). | Ardagh operates metal & glass packaging divisions; Ardagh Metal Packaging publicly reports its revenues. |

Other notable players: Ardagh, WestRock / Smurfit (corrugated & rigid board-related), Novelis (aluminium upstream), local regional extruders — check company IR for segment splits. |
Quick footnote on comparability & scope
Market estimates differ because some reports define rigid packaging narrowly (metal + glass + rigid plastics only) while others include rigid + liquid packaging or combine flexible and rigid categories. When you use a headline number, add a one-line scope note naming the vendor (e.g., “Grand View Research definition used” or “Fortune Business Insights scope used”).
If you want one of the follow-ups, I can create it right now (pick one) — I’ll include the same source links used above:
A tidy Excel/CSV with the company list, the numeric values and direct source links.
A 900–1,200 word market overview with embedded citations and a 5-company SWOT (Amcor, Berry, Ball, Crown, Ardagh).
A slide-ready table comparing 3 market reports (Grand View / Fortune Business Insights / Grand View rigid plastic) side-by-side (2024 baseline, CAGR, scope note).
