Austin, TX, July 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global glass manufacturing market is gathering momentum, largely due to the rapidly growing commercial, automotive, electronic, and packaging industries. New techniques in production and sustainable targets are changing the character of the industry through the realization of energy-efficient and recyclable glass products. Heavy investments made in advanced manufacturing technologies greatly enhanced the capacity and reduced the environmental impact associated with production. For instance, in 2023, Guardian Glass opened a high-performance float glass plant in Poland. Specialty glass demand began growing due to the automotive industry's efforts to use lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicles. According to an IEA report, in 2024, although at present, container glass production holds the largest share, applications of recycled glass packaging have been poised to make a mark; major brands were setting targets for 100% rGD by 2030. The biggest market was always held by the Asia-Pacific region; it is now impelled by strong construction and automotive sectors in China and India.
Key drivers of the market growth could be the demand for energy-efficient buildings and advanced glass solutions for electric and hybrid passenger cars. High energy consumption and price pressure on raw materials continue to be challenging. Still, increasing efficiency and quality control through technological developments and IoT in manufacturing helps. Green building standards have buoyed up demand for high-performance glass while growing interest in smart glass is opening new avenues of growth.

Segment Analysis
By product type, container glass contributed the highest share of more than 43.23% in market revenues in 2023. This high market demand can be attributed to the packaging industry. Glass, being inert and impermeable, was very preferred for processing food and beverages, as it helped preserve contents for a longer period. Glass container packaging preserved the freshness of the contents by not letting the container interact with it. This prevented microbial contamination and kept food safe for consumption. Glass was reusable and 100% recyclable; it could have several recycling cycles without loss of quality, which is one more aspect of sustainability that has helped in the acceleration of glass containers' adoption across industries. Manufacturers preferred glass as the packaging material due to the premium branding opportunity provided by it through sophisticated design work. The prestige factor too was in favor of glass products with end users. Since container glass happens to be rigid, it became apt for the packaging of carbonated beverages as the gas could leak through plastics at higher pressures. The increasing consumption of food and beverages in packaged form gave a fillip to the demand for glass containers.
