COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the market's supply and demand were immediately and dramatically altered. As bottle law enforcement agencies resume glass collection efforts, the volume of glass collected has increased. However, the sector has not yet recovered from the pre-glass recycling requirements state. There is a major disparity between on-premise use and consumption at home, which has also impacted the collection practices due to the COVID-19 limits. Restaurants and bars, major sources of glassware litter, are still subject to closure and have a smaller capacity due to COVID-19 limits.

Glass Packaging Market Dynamics

A growing eco-consciousness among consumers is driving the glass packaging industry. Glass packaging is a reusable alternative to plastic packaging and is environmentally friendly. Growth in the industry is expected to be driven by increasing disposable incomes and changing consumers' lifestyles. In emerging economies, alcohol consumption is growing as well. As alcoholic beverages become increasingly premiums and consumers consume more innovative alcoholic beverages, such as craft beer, the market is expected to grow in Western markets. In North America, Asia, and the Middle East & Africa, glass packaging is extensively used in the pharmaceutical industry because it keeps products sterile and contamination-free.

Glass Packaging Market Drivers

• 
  

  There is no risk associated with the use of glass in food packaging.

  
  

The glass packaging industry believes that by helping reduce the amount of food waste, food waste can be reduced in a negative way that reduces greenhouse gas emissions. As a suggestion for preserving food freshness, glass should be highlighted more in the packaging industry. Experts in the glass industry are urging the packaging industry to do the same. A product with an inert nature and a high degree of impermeability are "excellent" when protecting food and drink from contamination. It is often possible to store things in glass packaging for at least 18 months without adding additional chemical coatings.

Market Restraints:

• 
  

  Release of harmful particulates in the glass manufacturing

  
  

As container glass is manufactured by annealing, air-polluting compounds such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and other harmful particles are released. Asthma, chronic bronchitis, mucus secretion, and lung cancer can result from exposure to these harmful compounds at high concentrations. Further, particulates released during the final stages of container glass manufacturing are even more dangerous, as they are smaller in size and can cause various health-related disorders once they reach the respiratory system. These factors are expected to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Market Opportunities:

• 
  

  Glass spirits bottles are being produced according to customer specifications

  
  

There is still a high demand for spirits and alcoholic beverages, as well as glass packaging. The Phoenix Packaging  supply chain of handcrafted glass spirit bottles complements the attention to detail bartenders bring to the preparation of inventive cocktails, making it possible to cocktail after work and after hours. As the trusted packaging supplier for JFB Sorel Liqueur, a Brooklyn, New York-based company that values "the profound understanding of the environmental impact of throwaway materials," several companies, including Universal Packaging Inc., Stoelzle Glass Group, Jiangsu Rongtai Glass Products Co., Ruisheng Glass Bottle Wholesale Co., Ltd., and other companies trust Phoenix Packaging. Sprite bottles can be customized according to the client's needs.
