The increasing demand for wall decor by consumers is acting as the catalyst for the growth of the market. The increasing utilization of paints is creating a demand for better packaging solutions. As a result, there is an upsurge in the sales of paint cans.
Paint cans are the most dominant form of paint packaging. They prove highly effective for preserving and transporting various types of paints, due to their rigid structure and impact-resistant features.
Short-term growth (2023 to 2026): Growing population, rising disposable income, and improving living standard of people are expected to accelerate the demand for paint cans during this period. It could lead to a value of USD 5,796.00 million by 2026.
Medium-term growth (2027 to 2030): Consumers are preferring paint cans as compared to their counterparts. A variety of paints are being adopted to increase the aesthetic beauty of buildings. Due to this, the expected valuation could be USD 7087.89 million by 2030.
Long-term growth (2031 to 2033): Technological advancements have led to the development of eco-friendly paint cans with efficient materials. Manufacturers have taken initiatives to integrate sustainability into their manufacturing facilities, which facilitates the demand during this period.
Over the years, paint cans have been available in a variety of configurations, wherein metal has been the most used material. Until the early 2000s, metal paint cans used to account for more than 90% of the total containers used to store paint.
However, plastic and hybrid paint cans started to witness growth in popularity, causing a significant shift in consumer preference for plastic paint cans.
Recently, the rising demand for empty paint cans from the residential and commercial sectors contributed highly to the market. Moreover, the rising environmental consciousness and the introduction of eco-friendly paints act in favor of paint cans sales.
The empty quart paint cans market has a favorable impact on the global business. The need for empty quart paint cans is anticipated to increase, as digital printing technology is rising used to label cans. According to this demand, the market size for paint cans increased significantly during the forecast period.

Certain milestones are interrupting global adoption. Paint cans manufacturers must address these challenges to have a competitive market share:
| Segment | Product Type |
|---|---|
| Top-segment | Metal cans |
| CAGR (2018 to 2022) | 3.6% |
| CAGR(2023 to 2033) | 4.8% |
| Market Value (2023) | USD 3,269.06 million |
| Segment | Material Type |
|---|---|
| Top-segment | Metal |
| CAGR (2018 to 2022) | 3.8% |
| CAGR(2023 to 2033) | 4.9% |
| Market Value (2023) | USD 3,296.60 million |
| Segment | Capacity |
|---|---|
| Top-segment | 1001 to 2000 ml |
| CAGR (2018 to 2022) | 3.5% |
| CAGR(2023 to 2033) | 4.2% |
| Market Value (2023) | USD 789.6 million |
According to the study, there are more manufacturers of metal paint cans than plastic paint cans, despite the considerable predicted CAGR of 2.6% for plastic paint in 2023.
This is due to the growing awareness regarding the use of plastic products, given their adverse effects on the environment. Metal paint cans are mostly made of steel, which holds an expected CAGR of 5% by 2033.
In the coming years, the implementation of stringent rules and regulations against the use of plastic is expected to cause stagnation in the plastic cans market. In addition, there are paint packaging solutions other than paint cans made out of plastic, such as bottles and pails, which are also available in the market.
FMI analysis indicates that despite the above factors, metal cans are likely to continue to be preferred for the next 10-12 years owing to their high recyclability and durability.
Plastic paint cans lack the rigid build of their metal counterparts. During our analysis, it was found that while plastic industrial pails and cans are widely used, they are not likely to exceed their metal counterparts in terms of performance. Metal paint cans, specifically the ones that are made of steel or tin-plated steel paint cans, are designed to be hard-wearing.
Paint cans in the 1001 to 2000 ml segment are anticipated to increase in value of USD 1,191.57 million by 2033. The rising popularity of DIY projects, the expansion of the building sector, and the rising demand for eco-friendly paints all contribute to this increase.
By providing new designs and features that improve the usefulness and convenience of their products, manufacturers in this market are always innovating to satisfy the changing needs of their customers.
