Aluminium Can Crunch Drives Beverage Industry to Glass Bottles
What Happened
Indian cola, beer and beverage companies are increasingly shifting to glass and PET packaging as aluminium cans become costlier and harder to source. Industry executives say the West Asia conflict has disrupted supply chains, pushing aluminium can prices up by around 20% and creating shortages ahead of the festive season.
Key Takeaways
With aluminium can supplies under pressure, beverage makers are diversifying packaging formats to avoid disruptions. The shift is boosting demand for glass bottles and PET packaging, helping companies keep products on shelves despite global supply chain uncertainties.
