Glass Packaging Market Size 2024-2028

The global glass packaging market is projected to grow by USD 16.87 billion, at a CAGR of 4.48% between 2023 and 2028. This growth is driven by an increasing preference for sustainable packaging solutions and the rising demand for glass packaging in various end-use industries, such as food, hard seltzers, wine, and spirits. Key industry players, such as Verallia, are making significant investments in expanding glass packaging production capacities to meet growing demand.

However, the market faces challenges from the rising popularity of metal packaging products and increasing demand for PET and fiber packaging. Despite these challenges, the glass packaging market is expected to maintain its growth trajectory due to the unique benefits of glass, including superior product preservation and its ability to enhance brand image.
