Convenience food includes a variety of products like frozen vegetables, soups, meat, and fruits. The cans holds properties such as strength, recyclability, rustproof, protection against oxygen and light weight properties that protects the contents very efficiently by maintaining nutritional value, flavor, and aroma of the food product. Therefore, the canned food doesn’t require specific temperatures for storage yet offers longer shelf life.

The increasingly busier lifestyles are resulting in an increased reliance on packaged food & beverages, which, in turn, is favoring the growth of the food can seamer market as packaged food products are majorly packed in cans. Furthermore, several U.S. states including California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, New York, Oregon, and Vermont have banned the retail use of single-use plastics to curb plastic pollution. Such regulations on single-use plastic packaging are likely to benefit the growth of alternative packaging solutions such as aluminum, glass, and paper cans in the coming years. This, in turn, is expected to benefit the food can seamer market.
