Introduction
This report focuses on the manufacture of metal containers which includes cans, drums and closures. Demand for packaging products was subdued during 2018 as South Africa’s economy contracted, and consumers’ disposable incomes were placed under pressure due to a poor economy, joblessness, an increase in VAT, fuel, electricity and other prices. The metal packaging sector is valued at approximately R5.9bn per annum and accounts for 9.2% of the South African packaging market. The sector continues to have the highest recycling rate of all packaging. Almost 76% of all metal packaging in South Africa is recovered and industry experts expect these statistics to improve further.
Strengths
• High quality products that conform to international standards.
• Well-established markets.
Weaknesses
• Lack of competitively priced steel.
• Shortage of high-level technical skills.
Opportunities
• Growing demand for beverage cans
• Growth in African markets.
• Increasing demand for aluminium cans.
Threats
• Increasing energy, labour and transportation costs.
Outlook
The South African metal packaging sector is expected to remain under pressure as a volatile rand, ongoing fuel and electricity price increases and other pricing pressures continue to curb consumer spending. Nampak CEO André de Ruyter said that the outlook was challenging and demand-driven, and “efficiency improvements, cost containment and targeting new market segments will be priorities in 2019 to drive improved profitability and better returns.” MetPac-SA CEO, Kishan Singh said the positive growth in post-consumer metal recovery is expected to continue and he highlighted that creating a circular economy is essential to sustain metal packaging for the future.
