According to ABC reported on the 10th, the continuous tight supply chain dilemma in the United States has affected almost every kind of consumer goods in the market, and the holiday at the end of the year is coming, and drinks are beginning to be out of stock. Statistics show that at present, about 5% to 10% of the commodities in the U.S. grocery industry are facing shortage, of which the shortage rate of beverages is as high as 13%, including drinking water, iced tea, soft drinks, beer, canned cocktails, etc.'

According to the report, the shortage of packaging materials such as cans and plastic bottles is a major reason for the shortage of supply. Credit Suisse analysts pointed out that nearly 75% of all new beverage products produced this year are packaged in aluminum cans, and the growth of demand directly leads to the shortage of raw materials. In addition, the labor shortage of truck drivers, shipping congestion and bad weather in the United States have an impact on the whole supply chain, resulting in a shortage of a large number of consumer goods, including canned drinks. Analysts estimate that the supply of cans, plastic bottles and other packaging materials in North America may not keep up with the demand until 2025 or 2026.
