Synthèse
The global glass bottle market, valued at $40.2 billion in 2023, is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2023 to 2033, reflecting an increased demand driven by environmental awareness, the rise of craft breweries and distilleries, and brands creating high-end products. Despite the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic leading to a 12.5% market decline in France, the market rebounded by 2021, surpassing its pre-pandemic level with a value of €4.81 billion. Challenges such as raw material cost volatility and energy-intensive production have been exacerbated by the energy crisis and soaring natural gas prices. French exports of glass bottles saw significant growth, up 24.5% in 2022 compared to 2020, reaching an all-time high of $901.4 million. The domestic wine sector remains a primary user of glass bottles; however, wine consumption per capita has dropped from 130 liters to 37.2 liters in 2022. Despite these challenges, glass bottles are seen as superior for health, taste preservation, quality, and environmental sustainability, with eco-design efforts reducing packaging weight by 18% in 25 years.
Demand for Glass Bottles Flourishes Amid Environmental and Health Concerns in Country Market Analysis
The demand for glass bottles in the market has seen a significant upward trend, influenced by a heightened awareness of environmental issues and concerns over health risks associated with other packaging materials. Glass packaging, known for its zero chemical contamination and preservation of product tastes, has captured the interest of various sectors, including pharmaceuticals and premium beverages. This market analysis reveals that consumers are progressively gravitating towards products with minimal environmental impact, which has favorably positioned glass bottles as a preferable choice. The recycling rate for glass in the country has been commendable, reaching a high percentage of over 85%. This figure exemplifies the consumers’ growing environmental consciousness, which profoundly impacts their packaging preferences. Data projections for the glass bottle market estimate its worth around $40 billion and suggest it is poised to grow at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 5 to 6% in the upcoming decade.
This positive trajectory is sustained by an increasing preference for environmentally friendly packaging solutions, such as glass over plastic, which can only be recycled a limited number of times before becoming waste. The domestic wine sector, occupying a predominant position in the country, has been a substantial consumer of glass bottles, reinforcing the demand in the glass industry. An interesting trend within the wine market involves consumers' shifting preference towards higher-quality products, which aligns with the market's drive towards premiumization. In response to the wine sector's needs, the glass bottle industry has adapted its offerings to suit the demand for premium and environmentally friendly packaging options.
Within the country, the glass bottle industry comprises between 140 and 150 establishments, employing a workforce fluctuating around 18,000 individuals. Significant production facilities are strategically located near prolific vineyards, reducing transit distances and nurturing a locally-focused industry. This proximity between manufacturers and primary consumers—wine producers—allows for swift response times to market demands, a factor that contributes to the resilience and robustness of the sector.
The market's general consensus favors glass bottles for their ability to maintain the integrity of the contents, making them a vessel of choice not only for wines and spirits but also for an assortment of beverages and liquid products. With the environmental spotlight on reducing plastic usage, glass bottles stand out as a sustainable and viable solution, promising continued market expansion and success in the years ahead.

1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and scope of study
Glass bottles are elongated, narrow-necked containers of varying sizes designed to hold liquids, particularly beverages such as wine, beer and spirits, but increasingly also soft drinks like soft drinks or milk. Glass is mostly composed of silica-rich sand, but it is extremely common to use cullet, recycled pieces of used glass, in the manufacturing process. The proportion of cullet can range from 10% to 90%, depending on the quality required. Vitrifying agents are also added to give the glass the desired properties.
Unlike other packaging methods, glass enjoys a flattering image with the public, symbolizing both quality and low environmental impact. In fact, unlike plastic, glass is infinitely recyclable, and the glass recycling rate in France reached 88% in 2021.
The global glass bottle market will be worth $40.2 billion in 2023, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% over the next ten years. This market is benefiting from the desire of certain brands to create increasingly high-end products, from global environmental awareness, and also from the rise of craft breweries and distilleries, even if in France the wine market remains predominant. on a global scale, half of all glass bottles produced are destined for the beer sector.
In a concentrated market dominated by three international leaders(Verallia, Owens-Illinois and Vidrala), a few French players stand out. Saverglass , in particular, is expanding in the premium segment. However, French manufacturers face many difficulties in the current environment. Glass manufacturing costs fluctuate enormously according to the cost of raw materials, and the industry is extremely energy-intensive, especially in terms of natural gas, the price of which has been soaring for several years now.
However, manufacturers can look forward to a gradual phase-out of plastic and the imminent return of the deposit system, which should restore glass to its tarnished glory.
