During the period from 2015 to 2019, prominent companies adopted numerous targeted strategies to expand their business across the globe. For instance, Henkel acquired the Darex Packaging Technologies business for over one billion dollars to strengthen its market presence. Beverage Can Makers Europe and European Metal Packaging, two European companies, merged to expand their global presence. Mergers will continue amidst this global emergency to offset the losses incurred during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Impact of COVID-19 on Market
The coronavirus outbreak has crippled industries globally. Nearly all countries have imposed lockdowns and strict social distancing measures. According to the study, this has forced shutdowns in almost every production plant across the globe. The beverage cans industry is an important application area for metal packaging coatings. A pronounced drop in the production of beverage cans has limited the market scope for metal packaging coatings.
The pandemic has generated disruptions with discrepancies in the supply and demand across multiple industries, causing a global economic meltdown. Europe has suffered huge losses in the first two quarters. However, the easing of lockdown restrictions in some European countries may uplift market growth in the third quarter. East Asia, the least affected region, is poised to assist the global market growth by the end of 2020.
