North America Plastic Bottles Market Analysis

The North America Plastic Bottles Market size is estimated at USD 3.16 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 3.86 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.08% during the forecast period (2025-2030). In terms of market size, the market is expected to grow from 3.36 billion tonnes in 2025 to 4.05 billion tonnes by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.80% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

  • The demand for packaged beverages and pharmaceutical drugs has been increasing strongly. Consumers are becoming increasingly health-conscious, and the demand for healthy beverages is rising. This has made bottled water more accessible to individuals, aiding the market's growth.
  • According to a report published in March 2023 by the Beverage Marketing Corporation and the International Bottled Water Association, bottled water was the most popular drink in the United States in 2022, accounting for about 25% of all beverage consumption.
  • The usage of plastic bottles surged in the carbonated soft drinks (CSD) sector, which has reached saturation in North America. Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and Keurig Dr Pepper have reported flat sales from their carbonated soft drink division in North America. As per the estimates made by Coca-Cola in its annual report, these three companies hold a market share of more than 80% in the North American market.​ Thus, the demand for plastic bottles for CSD drinks is expected to drive the market's growth.
  • PET is widely used in food and beverage packaging because of its high resistance to water vapor, gases, dilute acids, oils, and alcohol. It is also easily recyclable and maintains its resistance over time. Its exceptional durability, robustness, and steadfastness make it a safe choice for food-grade products such as individual-sized drink containers and closures.
    • According to data produced by Earth Day Organizers, around 1 million plastic bottles are sold in the United States every minute, and the demand for packaged drinking water is expected to increase in the market.
  • However, in North America, the plastic recycling rate shows no significant growth, and the concerns relating to the use of plastic are growing. In the United States, PET bottles make up roughly 65% of the post-consumer bottles collected for recycling. Yet merely 30% of plastic bottles and jugs find their way to the recycling process. The efficiency of recycling plastic bottles hinges significantly on the recycling infrastructure. This is expected to have a negative impact on the market's growth in the region during the forecast period.

North America Plastic Bottles Industry Overview

The North American plastic bottles market is fragmented and has several major players. In terms of market share, few of the major players currently dominate the market. These players, with a prominent share of the market, are focusing on expanding their customer base. These companies are leveraging strategic collaborative initiatives to increase their market share and profitability. Some of the recent developments in the market are:

  • May 2024: ALPLA, a key firm in plastic packaging, unveiled a new recyclable wine bottle crafted from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This innovative packaging slashes carbon footprints by as much as 50% and offers potential cost savings of up to 30%. Currently, the bottles, offered in 750ml and one-liter sizes, are being used by Austrian wine producer Wegenstein, marking them as both a pilot customer and a collaborative development partner.
  • August 2023: Berry Global unveiled an innovative rPET bottle for a new sustainable luxury brand. Leveraging its technical prowess and extensive experience with recycled plastics, Berry brought to life the original design vision of NEUE Water’s founder, Michael Lowers. The unconventional flat shape posed challenges to the traditional injection stretch blow molding (ISBM) process used for PET bottles. However, Berry adeptly modified the technology to integrate the novel design seamlessly.
