Can Taps Market Potential
The can taps market is a part of the overall plastics market/industry. The typical customer here would be packaging companies.

In our findings, the research team has presented the global data and has included a UK report to address the plastics manufacturing industry. Although this report does not only address the can tap segment, the research team has concluded that they would fall under this industry as the "bottle caps and capsules" segment is presented in the brief.
