Glass does not leach chemicals into the products during shelf life like some plastic materials. It maintains the aroma, taste and quality of contents. Increasing health and environmental awareness among consumers is driving the demand for glass over other packaging materials. However, high cost of glass compared to alternatives poses a challenge for market growth. Overall, the glass packaging market is expected to witness moderate growth going forward, driven by applications in food and pharmaceutical industries.
Market Dynamics:
The glass packaging market growth is driven by increasing demand from the food and beverage industry for packaging products like bottles, jars, vials, and ampoules.
