That will represent nearly 200 billion units. Plastic closures will remain the largest and fastest growing closures, with beverages remaining the strongest market. Growth will be fueled by a shift to more value-added configurations such as dispensing and child-resistant closures, according to Caps & Closures. The 305-page study is available for $3꽤.
