Ball Corporation Sees Aluminum Packaging Sales Climb Thanks to At-Home Dining Surge

November 4, 2025 — Ball Corporation has reported a significant increase in aluminum packaging sales, driven by the surge in at-home dining during the ongoing global shift in consumer behavior. As more consumers opt for dining at home, the demand for aluminum beverage cans and food packaging has soared, positively impacting Ball's Q3 2025 earnings.

At-Home Dining Trends Boost Packaging Demand

The company saw its aluminum packaging sales rise sharply, with beverage cans in particular seeing a strong uptick in demand. With the rise of home consumption, particularly in the beverage sector, Ball has capitalized on the increased need for high-quality, sustainable packaging solutions. As people continue to seek convenience and sustainability, aluminum remains a top choice for both beverage and food packaging.

“The growth we’ve seen is a direct result of consumers choosing to dine at home more often, which has had a major impact on packaging demand,” said John A. Hayes, CEO of Ball Corporation. “Our ability to meet the surge in demand for sustainable, recyclable aluminum packaging has been key to our strong performance this year.”

Focus on Sustainability and Innovation

Ball has also doubled down on its commitment to sustainability by increasing its use of recycled aluminum, making its products even more eco-friendly. The company continues to push forward with innovations in lightweight and recyclable packaging solutions, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of its operations while meeting consumer demand for sustainability.

“We are constantly innovating to ensure our packaging not only meets the highest standards of quality and performance but also contributes to a more sustainable future,” added Hayes. “Recycling is at the heart of our strategy as we continue to align with the growing demand for circular economy solutions.”

Strong Outlook for 2026

Ball Corporation has expressed optimism for the remainder of 2025 and into 2026, expecting continued growth in its aluminum packaging division. The company’s strategic investments in production capacity, coupled with the strong consumer shift towards sustainable packaging, position it well for the future.

“As the at-home dining trend continues, we are prepared to meet the demand with high-quality, sustainable packaging solutions that align with both consumer preferences and environmental goals,” concluded Hayes.

“The future of aluminum packaging is not just about functionality but also about reducing our carbon footprint, improving recyclability, and ensuring that we meet the evolving needs of our customers,” Hayes said.
