Executive Summary:
The North American cansheet market is expected to end 2021 in a slight surplus as domestic production increases amid slowing autobody sheet shipments and debottlenecking within domestic rolling mills; while imports of empty aluminum beverage cans continues to cannibalize cansheet demand. Conversion prices are expected to be contained as a result of the surplus as well as an uptick in profitability due to widening spreads for UBC and Class scrap.
