Similarly, changing demographics of the world population and population ageing is likely to impact the glass packaging industry in terms of design, consuming habits and should drive growth especially in the glass healthcare packaging market. Visiongain calculates the global glass packaging market to be worth $34.8bn in 2012.
However, the glass packaging market still suffers from competition of plastic and paper packaging which capture most of the growth in the global packaging industry. Nonetheless, the premium image of glass and its natural characteristics, should allow glass to retain market share in high end products and benefit from solid growth in spirits, wine and beer consumption.
Technology is at the core of the competition among materials and new production techniques will significantly improve the competitiveness of glass in the packaging market. Among them, tempered glass and new light weighting appears to be a major breakthrough in the industry and is discussed extensively in this report. Other sources of growth for the industry discussed in this report includes: food and safety issues, increasing demand in healthy and organic food but also of ethnic food, the rising importance of recyclable eco-friendly material, population ageing, increasing alcoholic beverage consumption in emerging markets and rising cosmetic sales in emerging markets.
