Fiber Can, Tube, Drum, and Similar Products Manufacturing

Fiber can and drum manufacturing is a mature industry, with growth at or below the rate of increase in the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). From 1984 to 1997, the value of this industry's product shipments increased roughly 35 percent, from $1.69 billion to $2.14 billion. With an annualized growth rate of 2.7 percent, this industry ranked among the slower growing paper products industries, but was still close to matching the country's average growth in GDP. However, after growing to $2.32 billion in 2000, the value of shipments in 2002 declined to $1.88 billion. This decrease reflected a general economic downturn in the United States. Sales grew modestly by 2005, reaching $2.07 billion.
