Growth Factors in the Glass Packaging Market Industry:

• Rising Demand for Sustainability

Public knowledge about global environmental issues leads to the search for sustainable packaging materials with no adverse ecological effects in the world. Glass cycles as a closed loop system. Glass recycles over and over again without loss of quality or purity. Because plastic pollutes, and some groups have called to reduce non-biodegradable materials in packaging, some industries are using glass packaging to move toward more sustainable alternatives. Other industries have increased their goals for sustainability to include glass packaging. Glass products provide consumers with a better substitute than other kinds of products. Glass products can be made with less material than plastic products and are more widely recyclable and reusable than plastic products, which are more labor-intensive to recycle.

• Preference for Transparency and Aesthetic Appeal

One of the major drivers for the growth in the glass packaging market is the increase in demand from the consumers for clear and decorative glass containers. Clear glass containers provide an elegant look to the product and help to improve the value of the product in the market. When brands are exposed to a transparent package, the brand itself gives a greater indication of trustworthiness and quality. This has been shown for cosmetics, food and drink, and luxury brands. A shift toward glass packaging in these industries was seen as a way to compete for brand loyalty. These target premium customers. These customers will pay a premium price for products in premium packaging. The packaging protects against environmental factors. The packaging maximizes quality and shelf life. Their barrier to moisture and air, and their ability to exclude environmental particulate matter such as bacteria, can help some foods last longer.

• Growing Investment in Recycling Infrastructure

Meaningful investment in recycling infrastructure continued to have a helpful effect on recycling markets, as did investments made to help make the recycled glass more affordable and accessible. Other areas also invested in recycling programs by purchasing more advanced sorting equipment to assist recycling. The benefits include increased production of high-quality recycled glass, reduced cost to glass makers, and reduced environmental cost of glass packaging. More high-quality recycled glass becomes available to reduce the cost of glass-making in a circular economy. The amount of circular glass applications is increasing, in which materials are reused and recycled, such as glass for containers, instead of being discarded in landfills. Recycling glass reduces carbon footprint, meets ecological standards, and satisfies consumer preferences. Glassmaking equipment improves. The equipment is used to create molds or patterns, or applied on glass during manufacturing to produce a more economical and versatile container.

Key Trends in the Glass Packaging Market

• Demand for Sustainable Cosmetics Packaging

The key factor driving the global market is the rising demand for high-quality eco-friendly and sustainable packaging materials from the end-use cosmetics and personal care industry. Consumers rising to recognize the impact of packaging materials on the environment will likely drive demand for natural, recyclable, and high-quality packaging materials over the forecast period. Glass is a popular choice for skin care, fragrance and beauty products because it is strong, fully recyclable and provides protection for more delicate products. Compared to other materials, glass provides very high performance and quality. Doing so adds an aura of luxury to brands, and matches the aesthetics and environmental sensibilities of the beauty industry. This commitment to sustainability also plays out with the growing number of glass packaging innovations being offered, developed by industry leaders with sustainability in mind.

• Advancements in Pharmaceutical Packaging Technology

New glass packaging systems for pharmaceuticals such as ready to use vials with improved sterilization and stability features also address many of the operations issues of pharmaceutical manufacturers through a reduction in the incidence of breakage, improved vial stability protection and potentially greater manufacturing efficiencies. The continual need for efficiencies of cost, time and high performance barriers in protecting product quality to safeguard consumer healthcare is driving demand for high quality glass pharmaceutical packaging systems. Increasing demand for safe and secure delivery systems will make development of glass based packaging products more appealing to the pharmaceutical sector, over the coming years.

• Technological Innovations and Manufacturing Efficiency

With increasing sophistication in the art of mold design, automation, and production processes, the cost of glass container production is continuously declining, quality control is continuously improving, and glass container shapes and sizes are becoming ever more complicated and customized. Domestically and internationally, the glass container industry continually improves in the face of competition, especially price competition with cheaper plastic and aluminum containers. Advances in technology for producing glass with post-consumer recovered glass (PCR) made glass packaging easier and less expensive to produce for manufacturers, and thus more available as an environmentally and quality-preferred packaging material. Advances also made glass easier to manufacture. The economic and environmentally-friendly characteristics of glass have led to its popularity as packaging material.
