High growth of the Asia Glass Packaging Market has been experienced because of its demand for ‘environment-friendly’ and ‘sustainable’ solutions for packaging. This quality attribute in glass packaging has captured people’s imagination, being something as unique as its recirculation potential, non-reactive property, and propensity to preserve the originality of the products.
Glass packaging is used in several beverage, food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications for packaging where the product integrity need is a concern. Its premium look and feel also give glass a lead position in high value-added products.
Sustainability in Packaging: Asia is going green towards sustainable packaging, where consumers and the government alike are challenging plastic and demanding greener solutions. Against this trend, glass being infinitely recyclable fits into this industry growth curve. While it is associated with increased production costs and brittleness, continuous innovations in glass manufacturing are aids to combating these challenges; hence, glass is widely suitable for a range of applications.
Drivers: The drivers of the Asia Glass Packaging Market are mainly the rising interest in sustainable packaging. So, glass is increasingly used by the food, beverage, and cosmetics industries to ensure eco-friendliness and add value to their products.
High production cost and fragility of glass are significant hurdles. Compared to plastic packaging material, the shipping and handling charges are more expensive for glass, and the chances of breakage during transportation can be very strong strain factors for manufacturers.
Developing glass packaging technologies with properties that include light weight and strength provide growth opportunities. E-commerce is still on the upswing in Asia and is likely to increase with a growing demand for solid and attractive packaging in the near future.
Asia Glass Packaging Market is estimated to grow by a CAGR of 5.2% during the estimated period from 2024 to 2028, backed by the increasing demand of food, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors. Market size for the year 2023 stood at about USD 18 billion.
The market is projected to reach USD 23 billion by 2028 due to increased demand for sustainable packaging solutions and innovations in glass manufacturing technology. Also, government concerns over reduced plastic usage are expected to increase demand for glass packaging.
