The glass manufacturing market is driven by the inert and durable nature of glass, which enhances the longevity of stored products. Particularly, the food and beverage industry is expected to continue propelling the growth of the glass market due to the increasing demand for safe and healthy packaging, as well as the necessity for extended shelf life of food, beverage, and dairy products. This trend is likely to prompt a shift towards the use of glass for packaging applications.
In 2023, the container glass segment held the largest share of the market in terms of value. The market size of the container glass segment was estimated at USD 51.5 billion in 2023, and it is projected to reach USD 71.0 billion by 2029, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7% during the forecast period. The popularity of lightweight glass containers has been rising within the food and beverage industry. Advanced technologies such as Narrow Neck Press & Blow (NNPB) are currently being employed for the production of bottles that are lighter, consume less energy, and have minimal environmental impact compared to those produced using the standard blow molding technique. The growing global demand for packaging perishable items and medicines, driven by glass's chemical inertness and aesthetic appeal, is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.
On a global scale, the Asia Pacific region accounted for the largest share, representing 41.4% of the market value in 2023. The market size of the Asia Pacific glass manufacturing industry was estimated at USD 44.3 billion in 2023, and it is anticipated to reach USD 65.4 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period. Asia Pacific stands as the world's largest consumer and manufacturer of glass. Increasing demands across various industries including infrastructure and construction, packaging, automotive and transportation, energy, and electronics are poised to further boost market growth in the region. Additionally, countries in the Asia Pacific region are focusing on reducing carbon emissions by transitioning to solar energy. In 2023, China held the highest share of the Asia Pacific glass market and is a leading global glass manufacturer. The country's domestic demand and exports of packaged food and pharmaceuticals, presence of large-scale automobile plants, investments in renewable energy, and expanding production of electronic products such as mobiles, tablets, and laptops are driving the demand for glass within China.
