The report “Can Coatings Market by Type (Epoxy, Acrylic, Polyester, Other Types), Application (Food Cans, Beverage Cans, Aerosol Cans, Other Applications), and Region – Global Forecast to 2030″, shows the can coatings market is estimated to be valued at $2.76 billion in 2025 and reach $3.44 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.46% between 2025 and 2030.

Metal containers rank among the most widely recycled packaging formats, and coatings are safe to ensure durability in multiple recycling loops. 

The emergence of governments that ban single-use plastics is aiding the transition to cans as a sustainable option. 

Consumers are clearly aligning with brands and packaging that utilise recyclable packaging, which is increasing the demand for eco-friendly coatings that protect product safety while reducing the environmental impact. 

Products are now being innovated with water-based and low-VOC systems that are aligned with circular economy principles as well as enhanced recyclability. 

While there is a harmony developing between corporate social and environmental goals and incorporation into procurement policies, coatings that provide high performance and low environmental impact are growing.

The polyester segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the can coatings market during the forecast period

Polyester can coatings provide a great balance of low-cost performance, making them the best choice for a company. 

Polyester is also easy to process using current production machinery and has minimal adjustment and upgrading costs. Additionally, polyester provides reliable corrosion resistance, flexibility, and shelf life. 

The combination of cost and performance enables manufacturers to be as profitable as possible given an ever-changing demand for safety and quality. 

As competition in the industry increases and margins become less viable, polyester continues to provide reliable performance in addition to efficiency as a practical solution to the value-based model of can coatings globally.

The aerosol cans segment is projected to witness the third-highest CAGR in the can coatings market during the forecast period.

During the forecast period, the aerosol cans segment will be the third-fastest growing segment in the can coatings market. 

The growing use of hair sprays, deodorants, and body mists has greatly heightened the use of aerosol cans, especially in emerging markets. 

Coating helps with complications that arise from physical and chemical interactions between products and metals while securing the potency, fragrance, and integrity of a product. 

Coatings also protect sensitive formulations from oxidation that adversely affects performance. As consumers demand more premium and longer-lasting cosmetics, coatings that preserve formulations while addressing regulatory frameworks become even more important. The expansion of personal care brands with global reach has further elevated the significance of dependable aerosol can coatings, contributing to lasting growth in this application.
