Materials
used in the manufacture of container glass contain approximately 70%
of sand, while chemicals and natural substances such as alumina and
calcium make up the rest of the substances. Low amount of sodium
oxide and magnesium oxide is used in a container glass. This makes
container glass less susceptible to water erosion. The container
glass market can be segmented based on type of glass, manufacturing
process, product type, end-used industry, and region.

Based
on the type of glass, the container glass market can be segregated
into borosilicate glass and soda lime glass. Borosilicate glass is
prepared with silica and boron trioxide. It low coefficient of
thermal expansion and cannot be recycled. Soda lime glass is prepared
by melting sodium carbonate, silica, lime, aluminum oxide, and
dolomite. Soda line glass accounts for almost 90% share of the total
container glass manufactured globally. It is inexpensive and
extremely workable. It holds major share in terms of volume and
value.
Based
on manufacturing process, the container glass market can be
classified into blown glass process and tubing glass process. Under
the blown glass process, which is also known as molded glass process,
gobs of heated glass are directed to molding machines and air or gas
is blown to obtain the shape of the mold. Blown glass can be
sub-segmented into blow & blow process and press & blow
process. The blow & blow process uses narrow containers where the
parison is shaped by the compressed air. The press & blow process
uses larger diameter containers, wherein the parison is shaped by
pressing the glass against a blank mold. Tubing glass process is a
continuous draw process where the heated glass is drawn by a drawing
machine over a line of support rollers. The tubing glass segment can
sub-segmented into Danner process and Vello process. Under the Danner
process, the glass flows from furnace in the form of a ribbon. Under
the vello process, the glass flows from a furnace into a bowl, which
is then given a shap. The blown glass process segment is estimated to
expand at a fast-paced CAGR during the forecast due to its wide
application in glass bottle manufacturing.
Based
on product type, the container
glass market can be categorized into glass bottle, glass
jars, glass vials, and candle glass containers. The glass bottle
segment accounted for major share of the market due to the wide usage
of glass bottles in food & beverage packaging, perfume bottles,
and laboratory applications.
Based
on end-used industry, the container glass market can be divided into
cosmetics & perfumes, pharmaceuticals, food packaging, beverage
packaging, and other products. Market share of the beverage packaging
segment is increasing owing to the rise in use of alcoholic and
non-alcoholic beverages.
In
terms of region, the container glass market can be divided into North
America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Middle East &
Africa. Currently, Europe is leading the market for container glass,
followed by North America. This can be ascribed to the rise in demand
for green and sustainable beverage packaging in these regions.
Glass
containers do not fade or deteriorate. They also do not stain the
product inside the container. Products inside the container have
longer life and are safe, since glass is chemically inert to many
substances. These properties are augmenting the container glass
market. However, cheaper plastic containers are used as substitutes.
This hampers the container glass market.
Key
players operating in the container glass market are Owens-Illinois
(the U.S.), Verallia (Germany), Consol Glass (Pty) Ltd (South
Africa), Ardagh Group S.A.( Luxembourg), Saverglass Group (France),
Amcor Limited (Switzerland), Hindusthan National Glass &
Industries Limited (India), BA Glass (Portugal), Nampak Ltd ( South
Africa), Wiegand-Glas ( Germany).
