Design trends favoring artisan craftsmanship and minimal, transparent serveware have helped accelerate glass tableware sales in key markets such as North America and Europe.

The household and interior decor category captured a 37.1% share in 2024. This growth is being fueled by urban development, increased interest in modern living aesthetics, and custom orders for multifunctional decorative pieces. Items like glass vases, lighting fixtures, art pieces, and accent panels are seeing a rise in popularity, especially those that are handcrafted or sustainably produced. Consumer preference for long-lasting, eco-friendly interior elements is promoting greater use of both pressed and hand-blown designs across several regions including parts of Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America.

China Pressed and Blown Glass Market generated USD 52.7 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7%, reaching USD 100 billion by 2034. This expansion is tied to rising consumption, improvements in mechanized manufacturing, and a transition to more intelligent production systems. Chinese producers are placing greater emphasis on sustainability, integrating more recycled cullet into production to cut costs and minimize environmental impact. Younger generations are shaping trends in custom and digital glassware, fostering demand for unique aesthetics and functional elegance.

Leading players in the market include Krosno Glass S.A., Libbey Inc., Arc Holdings, Bormioli Rocco, and Pasabahce under the Sisecam Group. Major companies in the pressed and blown glass market are prioritizing technological integration to enhance productivity and reduce errors.
