Global Container Glass Market Overview

Glass is a crystalline, translucent, and amorphous solid that retains its integrity even after passing through multiple recycling processes. Container glass is used in the packaging of food, beverages, and pharmaceutical products. The glass container protects pharmaceuticals from photosensitive reactions caused by exposure to sunlight. Glass is an eco-friendly packaging material because it is easily recyclable and can be conveniently molded. The lightweight of container glass also facilitates efficient storage, transportation, and distribution. thereby, resulting in effective supply chain management.

 

Global Container Glass Market Trend

Growth Drivers

Increased consumption of alcohol

The container glass market is expected to experience substantial growth due to an increase in the consumption of alcohol. Container glass is mainly used in the bottling of alcoholic beverages. The unprecedented demand for alcohol across the world has created a lucrative opportunity to grow for the global container glass market. The Asia-Pacific shows maximum alcohol consumption across the world. Since glass is impermeable to gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, hence it is the best option for the storage of alcohol. Winemakers around the globe are using container glass to prevent their products from oxidation. As a result, increased alcohol consumption directly drives the global container glass market.

Increased use of glass by pharmaceutical companies

Pharmaceutical companies are the key user of container glass. Syrups are extensively stored in glass bottles because glass is inert and does not react with the components of syrups. Furthermore, the non-reactive nature of glass ensures that the taste of the syrup does not change even after extended storage. What’s more, oral suspensions are also stored in the container glass. Because of the rising prevalence of cough, cold, and flu, doctors are increasingly prescribing cough, cold, and flu syrups, creating a lucrative opportunity for growth in the global container glass sector.

Restraints

The fragility of the glass container

Glass is strong and has a definite shape, but it is also fragile. A small impact may cause the glass container to shatter, rendering it useless besides wasting the contents. Because of its delicate nature, glass often causes issues during transportation, unlike metal containers that can withstand more pressure during transportation.

Moreover, as compared to paper and plastic, glass is heavier. The heavy weight of glass increases shipping costs, making the product more expensive for the buyer. As a result of these restrictions, some manufacturers prefer shifting to alternative packaging solutions. Thus, the fragility and heavyweight of glass containers are limiting the market's growth.

Impact of COVID

COVID-19 has had a negative effect on the container glass industry, as the availability of container glass has been severely impacted due to lockdowns and trade restrictions. To comply with government regulations, large end-user companies were compelled to reduce their production capacity. Hence, the demand for packaging material for the products went down drastically. These factors have combined to lower sales for key players in the industry, putting a damper on future investment. Nevertheless, the companies that are supplying container glass to pharmaceutical companies are experiencing growth because pharma companies are running on their full capacity to produce drugs to find against the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the total number of pharmaceutical companies is very low in comparison to the consumer goods industry; hence COVID-19 negatively impacting the global container glass market.

Global Container Glass Market: By End-User

Based on the end-user, the global container market has been segmented into food and beverage packaging, cosmetic packaging, chemical packaging, and pharmaceutical packaging, among others. The food and beverage packaging segment hold the maximum share in the global container glass market. Consumers' growing awareness of environmentally-friendly packaging, as well as technological advancements in the food and beverage industries, are driving the market's growth. The food and beverage packaging segment is also growing because container glass does not react with the ingredients present in food and beverages. The enhanced shelf life of food products due to glass's ability to prevent microbial damage is also a major factor driving the container glass market's expansion.

 

Pharmaceutical packaging holds the second-largest share in the market as container glass is highly used in the packaging of syrups and oral suspensions. Because of COVID-19, the demand for cough syrups exceeds supply, and hence this section indicates future growth potential.

Global Molecular Diagnostics Market: Regional Insights 

Based on the region, the container glass market is segmented into North America, the Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. Among all the regions, the Asia-Pacific dominates the global container market. The growing food and beverage industry in the Asia Pacific plays a major role in this growth. Additionally, the Asia-Pacific region's increasing population contributes to increased consumption of food and beverages, resulting in a rise in demand for container glass. Alcohol consumption also impacts APAC’s container glass market because glass is the major packaging material for the region’s alcohol industry. These are the major factors that are driving growth besides making Asia-Pacific the world's leading container glass market.
