South America is the fourth largest continent, the southern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. It is divided politically into 12 independent countries. Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela, and the overseas department of French Guiana . The continent extends c.4,750 mi (7,640 km) from Punta Gallinas, Colombia, in the north to Cape Horn, Chile, in the south. At its broadest point, near where it is crossed by the equator, the continent extends c.3,300 mi (5,300 km) from east to west. South America is connected to North America by the Isthmus of Panama; it is washed on the N by the Caribbean Sea, on the E by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the W by the Pacific Ocean.
South America, fourth largest of the world’s continents. It is the southern portion of the landmass generally referred to as the New World, the Western Hemisphere, or simply the Americas. The continent is compact and roughly triangular in shape, being broad in the north and tapering to a point—Cape Horn, Chile—in the south.
Even though metal packaging takes advantage of high penetration rates in many industries, such as food and beverages, for example, organic growth is still forecast for this pack type. Strategies for achieving such a goal include not only launching innovative formats and closures, beating competing materials in scalable production and offering more attractive unit prices, as well as positioning the product as a sustainable option - in Brazil, for example, metal beverage cans have a recyclability index of more than 98% in 2018, beating plastic and glass by far. Although this is not the reality of the whole region, metal packaging is increasingly perceived a less harmful pack material, especially when compared to plastic.
Alongside metal packaging manufacturers’ investments to promote this material, the poor performance registered by competing materials in Latin American countries also contributes to market share gains. Metal packaging manufacturers have been speedy to meet rising demands not attended by competitors and consolidating as a versatile and practical pack type, with positive growth forecast in unit volume sales over the next years.
Unlike the scenario for rigid or flexible packaging in the region, where growth comes from distinct categories, in metal packaging there is greater similarity in the expected performances in all countries. This represents a positive opportunity for manufacturers to launch regional strategies, especially if able to better reallocate production capacities or gain operational scale in costs to attend different markets.
As a can making machine manufacturer that serves many can makers in this region, we try our best to offer machine at high performance, and enable our customers to run the production line stably and effectively.
