The increasing demand for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and alcoholic beverages is expected to propel the growth of the container glass market. The demand for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and alcoholic beverages is increasing due to reasons such as growing awareness, easier access, changing lifestyles, rising income levels, and others. This increase in demand will drive the demand for container glass as this is an effective and safer packaging option for these products. FMCG goods and alcoholic beverages are non-durable products that require packaging such as container glass that can protect physically from damage caused by exposure to the sun, dust, temperature changes and contaminants. Container glass also protects against loss of nutritional value such as denaturing of proteins and oxidation of fats due to their excellent properties such as neutral reaction. For instance, in October 2023, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), FMCG sales in the country are predicted to increase by 7-9% in terms of revenue in 2022-23. The volume growth in India's fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry was 7. 5% in the April-June 2023 quarter, the highest in the previous eight quarters, driven by a recovery in rural India and faster growth in contemporary trade. Thus, the increasing demand for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and alcoholic beverages will drive the growth of the container glass market.

Product innovation is a key trend gaining popularity in the container glass market. Innovations such as safety-coated and antibacterial food storage glass containers are taking place in the market to provide a sustainable and safe alternative to ordinary glass containers. Safety coated glass containers with plastic coating are great for handling flammable liquids as they are easier to hold and less probably to break. Antibacterial food storage glass containers use a nanotechnology-based anti-microbial compound called Germ Guard, which prevents and eliminates the formation of dangerous bacteria, fungi, and molds. Key players are innovating these containers to offer unique benefits and strengthen their market position. For instance, in August 2023, Revino Inc, a US-based provider of revived glass bottles, launched end-to-end refillable glass bottle reuse system. It is designed to be reused multiple times without compromising quality or integrity. Their bottles offer emissions reductions of up to 85% compared to single-use bottles and can be refilled up to 50 times, breaking even on carbon emissions after the third reuse.

Major companies operating in the container glass industry are adopting a strategic partnership approach to provide innovative and sustainable packaging solutions to meet the evolving needs of their customers and reduce environmental impact. Strategic partnerships refer to a process in which companies leverage each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and success.

With this partnership, they launched new and innovative glass packaging solutions for beverage brands. Both O-I Glass and FX Matt deliver insight and expertise to overcome challenges faced while trying to develop products in a competitive market.
