The steady consumer demand for safe and healthier packaging, acts as one of the major factors driving the growth of the glass packaging market. Furthermore, increasing demand from the pharmaceutical and personal care sector impacts the demand and therefore, boosts the growth of the glass packaging market.

The increase in beer consumption throughout the world is one of the primary reasons driving market expansion. Beer is one of the alcoholic beverages that is packaged in glass bottles. According to a 2022 report published by Packmedia srl, the glass bottle continues to be the most widely used packaging for alcoholic beverages. This directly impacts the growth of the glass packaging market.

In 2020, an independent consumer research survey, commissioned by Friends of Glass and the European Container Glass Federation (FEVE) was carried out across 13 European countries that revealed the changing preference of people to glass packaging as compared to 2018.

According to European Container Glass Federations (FEVE), 162 manufacturing plants are distributed all over Europe, and container glass is an essential contributor to Europe's real economy as it has created job opportunities along the total supply chain.

One of the main challenges for the market is the increased competition from alternative forms of packaging, such as aluminum cans and plastic containers. As these items are lighter in weight than bulky glass, they are gaining popularity among manufacturers and customers. The high transportation costs associated with glass packaging products are the factor challenging the growth of the market.

Glass has a density of approximately 2.6 g/cm3, which means a piece of glass the same size as a piece of plastic is almost three times heavier. If the packaging is shipped over a long distance, glass has a clear disadvantage.

Not only is glass more expensive to ship and handle, but it also costs more to produce, primarily due to the amount of energy and extreme heat required during the production process.

The ongoing Covid-19 led to a significant growth in the demand for glass packaging to be used in several end-use industries such as food and beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. key players have also witnessed a surge in demand from consumers for glass packaging.

The Covid-19 pandemic has positively impacted the market for glass packaging. The industry is witnessing increased demand from the food & beverage and pharmaceutical sectors, as the pandemic has led to a greater demand for medicine bottles, food jars, and beverage bottles.

Moreover, during the pandemic, consumers recognized the sustainable benefits of glass packaging. In a survey of over 10,000 consumers from 10 countries by industry experts, glass and paper-based cartons were seen as the most sustainable, and multi-substrate packaging was viewed as the least sustainable.
