Metal Drum, Can and Bin Manufacturing in Australia Industry Data and Analysis
Industry revenue has increased over the past five years, but this is largely because it has risen from the logistic anomaly seen in 2019-20 due to the pandemic and associated lockdowns. Pandemic restrictions dampened manufacturing, initially causing a decrease in capacity and output. Nevertheless, the industry strongly rebounded, as cash-rich consumers who had accrued savings revived demand from economic sectors like food product manufacturing, and industry manufacturers were able to pass on hiked prices for metal inputs to consumers.
