A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage. This market analysis and report also includes an in-depth analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges. Furthermore, the report includes historic market data from 2017 to 2021.

Key Driver

One of the key factors driving the market growth is the expanding glass packaging industry. There is an increasing preference for glass packaging as a packaging solution for food and soft drinks, pharmaceuticals, and beer, as glasses are made from sustainable raw materials and can be reused more than 40 times. Some of the main advantages of glass packaging include a reduction in the quantity of waste to be disposed of as well as premium quality.

Moreover, each ton of recycled glass saves approximately 300 kWh of energy which fuels the adoption of this packaging solution. In addition factors such as the increasing consumer awareness regarding the sustainable lifestyle are fuelling the adoption of glass packaging. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.

Market Trends and Analysis

A key factor shaping the market growth is the growth of wearable technology. There is a growing popularity for wearable technology across the globe. Wearables can be referred to as smart devices that are used for multiple purposes, including fitness, healthcare, gaming, and entertainment. There is a high potential for the growth of flexible glass in wearable technology.
