After being stagnant in the past two years, glass packaging in retail is finally returning to growth. Despite strong competition, the ability of glass to portray a premium image while keeping the product fresh and safe will ensure its presence in all regions across a wide range of industries. Alcoholic drinks will continue to lead the way for glass driven by the good performance within beer and spirits where there is an increasing demand for premium variants.

Glass is back to growth

After static sales over 2013-2015, glass is set to rise over the forecast period, due to expansion in consumer goods consumption. Rising demand for premium products in developing markets has increased consumption for otherwise unaffordable products as pasta sauces in glass jars in Brazil.

Emerging markets, led by Asia Pacific, continue to support growth in glass

Asia Pacific, in particular China, will continue to dominate in key categories, such as as beer, carbonates and dairy. Growth will also come from beyond the BRICs with Turkey, Thailand and Mexico leading the way in both beverages and food.

Alcoholic drinks key to glass revenues

Alcoholic drinks will continue to be the largest contributor to glass packaging volume sales over the forecast period. Demand for premium beer, and packaging innovation in spirits and wine will keep demand flowing.

Health trend is helping glass in competitive markets such as food and soft drinks

Consumer demand for healthier and safer packaging is helping glass grow in categories otherwise dominated by other pack type. Bottled water in glass, for instance, will see positive growth in countries where plastics such as PET and thin wall containers dominate.

Returnables maintain glass’s position in soft drinks

Despite strong competition from other pack types, such as PET bottles and metal beverage cans, glass has maintained its position in soft drinks, thanks to many countries’ strong returnable systems that keep the product retail price low.
