Germany Glass Packaging Market Driving Factors and Challenges
The glass packaging sector is expected to witness growth, particularly in food, driven by high demand in industries like soups and baby food. The beer, cider, and spirits sectors are also poised to significantly contribute to the expansion of glass packaging. Notably, the personal hygiene industry is anticipated to be a major contributor, while the skincare industry's demand is expected to boost glass packaging for cosmetics and toiletries. Stringent laws aimed at enhancing the quality of domestically manufactured drugs are leading to increased use of glass in pharmaceutical packaging.
The pharmaceutical sector's demand for sterile medical packaging products is expected to fuel market growth. The growing prevalence of drugs packaged in glass is driving demand for glass-based vials and ampoules. Additionally, the glass packaging industry is being propelled by the country's rising disposable income, premium packaging trends, and increased demand for efficient packaging due to strong sales of customized beauty products. Consumer awareness regarding personal grooming is also contributing to the growth of the glass packaging market.
The market's growth rate could be slowed down, nevertheless, by changes in the price of raw materials and the intense competition from substitute packaging materials. The sensitivity of glass materials, the impact of the pandemic on the supply chain, and an increase in operating costs will all work against the market's expansion. Because glass packing can be heavy and brittle, handling and storing it can be difficult and expensive. Because of the manufacturing process and the cost of raw materials, glass packaging might have greater production costs than other packaging materials like plastic or aluminium. The growth of the German glass packaging market is hampered by all of these problems.
