The glass bottle packaging is significantly safer as there are no risks of chemicals mixing into the product, with minimal risk to the consumer's health. In addition, the taste of the food or beverage remains intact in the glass bottle packaging. Due to the pandemic, people are drawn to a healthier lifestyle. Besides healthy living, they are consciously making sustainable choices, especially about their day-to-day purchase.
Steered by this, glass bottle packaging for food and beverage applications is likely to reflect substantial growth. The pharmaceutical sector also has emerged as a leading consumer of glass bottles. Thanks to their strength and durability, glass bottles have become the first choice for pharmaceutical companies. The rising demand for generic medicines such as basic capsules and syrups in circulation globally due to the ongoing pandemic may create lucrative sales prospects.
Considering this, the growing trend towards health care, wellness, and the pharmaceutical industry is expected to act as a stimulant for glass bottle adoption. The perfumes & fragrance industry is also emerging as an important contributor, as glass bottles are a highly desired form of packaging, especially for premium products.
The future of glass bottles offers lucrative opportunities owing to the recyclable and reusable properties of glass bottles. Also, manufacturers and marketers can use sustainable packaging options compared to toxic non-biodegradable materials such as plastics.
Glass, being a 100% recyclable material, is getting just enough market attention as an effective and environmentally friendly packaging solution, which is projected to drive demand for glass packaging over the projection period. Glass recycling immediately saves raw materials while also lowering the carbon footprint.
For example, one tonne of glass directly saves about one tonne of virgin raw materials used to create glass, as well as around 580kg of CO2 from entering the environment across the supply chain. It also reduces water pollution by half and air pollution by a quarter. Because of these advantages, it is a popular choice in the packaging sector.
Furthermore, consumers' packaging tastes are shifting toward eco-friendly and sustainable packaging solutions, which is favorably boosting the market's growth rate.
