Global beer consumption has increased significantly and with it, the demand for glass packaging. The pharmaceuticals segment of the healthcare industry is another sector, which is expected to have a high demand for glass packaging. Glass packaging is extensively used for packing drugs, thus driving the market. Consumers are increasingly opting for glass packaging in healthcare owing to the sterility provided by it. Additionally, the fact that glass can be reused, resulting in minimal wastage, and saving costs are other factors increasing their popularity and preference as packaging material.

Growing Popularity of Plastic Packaging Impacting Glass Packaging Businesses

A rise in the demand for light-weight materials with qualities comparable to glass has led to an increase in the use of plastic for packaging. Plastics can be molded into various shapes and sizes are their thickness can be controlled, which is increasing the scope of their applications, and posing a significant threat to glass packaging market. Additionally, research and developmental activities in plastics and with it the technological advancements are resulting in the production of plastics with qualities similar to glass. This is increasing the the popularity of plastics as packaging materials and dampening the demand for glass packaging.

Technological Advancements in Glass to Provide New Opportunities for Players

R&D coupled with technological advancements in glass are likely to reduce the weight of glass and enable hi-tech design. This is expected to further drive the consumer preference for glass as a packaging material. Thus, increasing preference for glass bottles, jars and other packaging is anticipated to offer new opportunities for the growth of the glass packaging market.

The glass packaging market is highly fragmented, preventing companies from extending their operations across international markets.
