Glass Additives Market Size Worth $1.56 Billion By 2025 | CAGR: 3.6%

The global glass additives market size is expected to reach USD 1.56 billion by 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 3.6%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing consumption of colored and specialty glass in the packaging industry has been a major factor driving market growth.

Rising demand from the food & beverage industry in addition to the growing popularity of customized glass wares across industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc. are expected to contribute to the demand for glass packaging.  High demand for glass packaging will, in turn, is projected to spur the glass additives industry.

Demand for durable glass with enhanced properties such as water repellent, UV protection, anti-glare, etc. from automotive, electronics, and construction industries has triggered the usage of metal oxides and nanoparticles during glass production. Utilization of additives in the glass helps in accelerating the manufacturing process thereby reducing the overall energy consumption. It also contributes to bringing down the total manufacturing costs.

The glass industry is slowly reviving from the recent downturn. The industry witnessed the closure of many production units around the world during the past decade. Most of the glass manufacturers are focusing on product differentiation and cost advantage. The use of additives helps these manufacturers for long-term existence.

The additives industry is oligopolistic in nature with the top few players holding a greater chunk of the market share. Some of the major players in the glass additives market include DuPont, Gillinder Glass, SCHOTT, Torrecid Group, and Nanobase.
