Glass packaging refers to the usage of packaging materials that are made of different types of glass. As glass is produced from sustainable natural raw materials, people often prefer glass packaging. Glass packaging is also ideal for preserving the flavour profiles and nutrition of foods and beverages. Being anti-corrosive, glass packaging is also ideal for many pharmaceutical products.
Rapidly rising consumerism and increasing disposable incomes are resulting in a surge in demand for mass produced packaged goods, and with the heightening focus on sustainability, the demand for glass packaging is surging. Improvements in production and product capabilities are key factors driving the glass packaging market expansion. With new production processes, glass packaging can be moulded into new forms for creative packaging and imbued with specialised features depending upon the application. Techniques such as embossing and shaping, are being used for glass packaging of all sizes, helping manufacturers with branding while also maintaining the freshness of contents. Increasing use of recycled glass to manufacture glass packaging is anticipated to provide further impetus to the market in the coming years.

The EMR’s report titled “Glass Packaging Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
Market Breakup by Application
Market Breakup by Glass Type
Market Breakup by Product
Market Breakup by Region
Soda lime glasses dominates the market due to its widespread use and cost-effectiveness, while borosilicate glass segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate
Soda lime glass is the most common type of glass used for packaging. It is relatively inexpensive to produce and has good clarity and strength. The soda lime glass segment dominates the market, driven by the widespread use of soda lime glass in a variety of end-use industries.
Borosilicate glass, on the other hand, is a type of glass that is highly resistant to thermal shock, chemicals, and corrosion. It is commonly used for laboratory glassware, pharmaceutical packaging, and high-end cookware. As per glass packaging market analysis, the borosilicate glass segment is expected to grow due to its superior properties and increasing demand from the pharmaceutical and laboratory industries.
De-alkalized soda lime glass is a type of glass that has a lower alkali content compared to standard soda lime glass. This makes it more resistant to chemical attack and corrosion. The de-alkalised soda lime glass segment is anticipated to grow due to the increasing demand for more durable and chemically resistant glass packaging, especially in the food and beverage industries.
Alcoholic beverages dominate the market, followed by the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and household and personal care applications
The alcoholic beverage segment dominates glass packaging market share, accounting for the largest market share. This is driven by the growing consumption of alcoholic drinks, especially wine and beer, and the preference for glass packaging due to its ability to preserve the taste and aroma of the contents.
The food and beverage segment is the second-largest end-use industry for the market. Glass is widely used for packaging various food and non-alcoholic beverage products due to its inert nature, ability to maintain freshness, and high recyclability.
The pharmaceutical segment is also a key contributor to the market’s growth as glass is extensively used for packaging medicines, vaccines, and other healthcare products due to its superior barrier properties, chemical resistance, and ability to maintain product integrity.
