MARKET ANALYSIS

Glass obtained after processing of waste glass into usable products is called recycled glass. It is 100% recyclable and can be recycled without any loss in quality or purity. It is made from readily available domestic materials such as sand, limestone, soda ash, and cullet, which is a term for furnace-ready recycled glass. Further, Wall insulation, countertops, containers, and kitchen tiles are all made from recycled glass components. Such increasing usage is likely to bolster the demand in the global recycled glass market. These materials help glass product makers save money by reducing raw material consumption, lowering hazardous emissions, conserving energy, and extending the life of glass plant machinery such as furnaces. These characteristics make them a valuable commodity in the manufacture of new glass items, thereby boosting the global recycled glass market.

GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

The strong demand from bottles and containers has aided the recycled glass market growth. Recycled glass is widely used in the food and beverage industry for the packaging of beverages and food products, which is boosting the demand from the bottles and containers industry. Technological advancement in the manufacturing of recycled glass bottles and containers is intended to improve customization and sustainability. Increasing demand for reusable sources as an alternative to plastics, which are environmentally friendly, is encouraging manufacturers to use recycled glass bottles and containers to pack their food products and juices. Furthermore, the growing pharmaceutical industry has created lucrative opportunities for recycled glass manufacturers. Because of the ongoing pandemic, there will be an increase in demand for generic medicines such as basic capsules and syrups, which will create lucrative sales opportunities. Given this, the growing trend toward health care, wellness, and the pharmaceutical industry is expected to stimulate demand for recycled glass. Because of the recyclable and reusable properties of glass bottles, the future of recycled glass bottles and containers offers lucrative opportunities. Furthermore, manufacturers and marketers can use sustainable packaging alternatives to toxic non-biodegradable materials like plastics. All of these factors contribute to the increased demand for recycled glass in the bottle and container manufacturing industries. However, high investment in recycling process can create an adverse impact on the market growth. Glass recycling is a time-consuming procedure that entails screening and eliminating impurities from glass debris. Because the expense of eliminating pollutants is so high, glass makers must adhere to strict guidelines in order to reduce the application's complexity and cost. There is also a dearth of investment in the business because profit margins are very modest and payback periods are lengthy. These obstacles are limiting the industry's growth, and governments throughout the world are seeking to encourage investors by allocating cash and launching new programmes that will benefit investors.
